Yay, me!

I got on the scales the other day. I was concerned that it was wrong. Scott sometimes gets excited and moves the dial back a couple of pounds. But nope. It appears to be correct. I am closing in on 160lbs!! Since you are all sweet, kind family members, I'm sure you didn't notice me inching up and inching out. . .Or at least you didn't say anything. Since I have had all the issues with my shoulder, I have gained about 35lbs. As of Christmas of 2003, I was at 190lbs. On my frame, it wasn't healthy, nor was it attractive. I had started to notice that I needed elastic in the waistband of the new pants I was buying. And when I got up in the mornings, my feet hurt from the extra pounds. I think that is when the bell rang and I decided it was time to do something. The real challenge I faced was not being able to fully engage in any activity due to my still injured shoulder. Most folks will (thankfully) never realize how valuable that socket is!!! The point of this post is to share my excitement about dropping some weight and increasing my health!! Especially after realizing the heredity issues with blood pressure and other heart risk factors. Eat your greens!!
