So, today I took our Jack Russell Terrier and walked 2.5 km around Mill Lake in Abbotsford.  It's a beautiful walk, and the sun was shining and we had a great time.  The only thing I wished I had taken were a couple of treats for Lucas as he was so well-behaved!

I'm tired of being overweight and not having much energy.  I'm going to take my life back and regain control!  I'm tired of sitting and thinking about it, so now I'm doing something about it.  Hey, nobody else is going to do it for me are they?

I also met up with my dear friend, Connie, while I was out and we both went and signed up for Curves.  I plan on doing this for me and it's always nice to have someone to go with when exercising.  So, my plan now is to go to Curves perhaps 3-4 times a week and go walk around the lake on the off-days when I can or when I don't have a lot planned for the day. 

I really want to make this happen.  People who don't or haven't had a weight issue in their lives really have no idea.  It can become overwhelming and I think about how I'd like to be thin again, but it doesn't just happen on its own.  I used to be a skinny little thing until about 12 years ago.  When I had our son, it changed my metabolism and I think my activity level dropped - in any event, something changed and here I am.  I'm about 30 lbs over where I would like to be, but it would still be nice to lose more than that.

And so, if you think of it, I could use your prayers.  I love food and it, apparently loves me too!    I truly hope to make some headway in this weight loss journey this time.

Here is one of my all-time favourite cartoons! 

Blessings to all!
