I am determined..

not to post another photo until it is a scrapbook project, which will, hopefully, be tomorrow since I have started a paper bag Xmas album. I want to thank Mel. Last night we were messaging and she mentioned how much weight she has lost-REMARKABLE! I am really impressed. She inspired me to get moving. I was doing very well before my father passed but with all the traveling and eating out and the holiday for two months I've been off my game. I haven't been working out either. So this morning, which was cold, I got up. Ate some Cream of Wheat-a childhood favorite-and put on my running shoes and off I went. I took my dog Jesse, who at 100 pounds could use the exercise as well. I started off a brisk walk and got into a jog. Near my house is some country living. Farms and acres of land. So we went. It was cold, gorgeous, and very refreshing to be out there living again. Did anyone see Morgan Freeman on 60 Minutes? He said, "life has been very good to me and the biggest way to repay it is to live it." I might be off on some of the wording but that was very powerful to me. I have been in a funk and not enjoying what I have. Shane is absent and my father might be gone but I do have a good life, a great life, I do love my life so I'm back out there. Going to step outside the box a little more. Mel also inspired me to do what I know. Cut back on my portion size and so I did today and I drank alot more water. I am back to being commited to health. Thanks Mel!
