This fit person of two years ago is not me anymore. I am now the busy person in the first picture my daughter took as we were shopping the other day. It just seems symbolic. I love so many things about how my life is right now, but I am really, really unhappy with how my body has softened and my muscles and general fitness has dropped off. During covid, when I had little to do but work out and focus on my health, I used what I had at home and the road outside and the hills all around to get into the best shape since having a pile of kids. I am using these pictures as a hopeful motivation to get myself to focus more on what makes me feel good physically. I know how to be strong and fit. I haven't let myself go totally, but at the doctor's office a couple days ago I was into the 160s. I was fully dressed and it was late in the day. I honestly don't have to be as fit as I was. I don't have the time to walk 40 miles a week. My knee won't allow me to run five miles or even one right now. But, I can do better. I can still do those workouts at home even if they are not as long or strenuous. I want to be stronger and fitter and not just focused constantly on work and my family. So, once again I commit... I commit to weighing in and recording everything. Yep, after the holidays is an easier time to start. I will still eat special food, but I am going to try so hard to make better choices to nourish my body and help it to feel better. I am not going to record my weight here right now. It will just drop down a bunch and not be "real." I will give it some days and record after the food and water weight has stabilized. But, I am working on it now. I don't know how I will fit things in. Right now I am going to try to work out twice this week and record every bite. At least that is something! One day at a time!

Time management is a difficult yet important skill to master. Just remember that if we don't take care of ourselves, we might not be around for the other things. Therefore, making time for yourself should be a priority.

Thanks for sharing. It doesn’t matter if we are a size 10, 16 or 22. If we know we haven’t been healthy, have gotten soft, can’t fit into our clothes then it’s time to make a change. Sounds like you have a plan and realistic expectations. You got this.

You got this! BTW you look great and appreciate you sharing this because most of us struggle with this at some point. I know time is so precious and my only one regret that I have is that I did not focus on me sooner. But we cannot look backwards but forwards and find something that works for you with your schedule. For me I finally found something that works and has been sustainable. What you have going for you is experience so maybe tweaking it to make it work to your lifestyle today.

You were beautiful then and you are beautiful now! You have made lots of sacrifices/ adjustments for your family and I'm sure the rewards have been there. I applaud you for setting new goals and I know you can achieve them! Truthfully, it doesn't seem like you have far to go but I know that you feel like you do. I go up over a certain weight or when I'm unable to work out much, and I freak out...so I know that feeling. Keep moving forward and remember, you need to be healthy to keep up the pace of your life...Here's to ablessed 2023🙏💜

Dear people, thank you so much for your amazing and kind support! I thought I'd have a couple calm days in the new year, but so far all I do is work this year. But! I have two days off together coming up and I will have the chance to catch up. I'll be here. I'm feeling determined! Blessings on you all!

Hey Melissatwa! Like others have said, you still look good and haven’t slipped much. But I know the anguish even small slips cause when we think about the effort required and have a lot of things pulling us different directions. I’m glad to see you again! Here’s to a rocking and successful 2023!

Thank you, shir! One day at a time... Can't look back too much! Diablo, I don't know how to fit it all in like you guys do. You work crazy hours and still make your fitness a major priority. In awe! Mayette, thank you! humpTdumpty, I'm trying to be realistic without just "settling" for what I don't want. Thank you for your encouragement! Kenna, I don't feel like I've failed myself, but I do want to do better. I have to find balance I can manage!
