Well I have been 48 since June and thinking about how unfit I am since then - well before then really.
...Like last year when walking with my sister and feeling really embarrassed because I had to stop to catch my breath all the time. Then sweating through last summer because I felt too embarrassed to wear anything cool that might reveal any of my flabby skin. Oh and there is the daily, "Oh what can I wear today that doesn't make me look like a bean bag."
Not being able to stuff because you feel to tired or fat or old, really sucks.
So I am putting the steps in place to lose 50 pounds by the time I am 50.
On Tuesday I went and visited my GP. Just to check that I have no underlying issues. She has put me on Nexium to fix my mild reflux and ordered a ton of blood tests.
I have to walk a little every day and eat healthy. Doctor's orders.
My orders...
No eating after 9 pm, 2 fruit and 2 - 3 vegies serves every day. (I don't eat a lot. I just eat mostly the wrong things.)
Drink lots of water. I do drink a lot of herb tea so that one is cheating a bit as it will not take much effort.
Get more sleep. This is going to be the hardest. A restless partner who twitches and snores, too much time on facebook and my overactive mind are all something I need to work through.
Start weight... (tuesday 12 october) 198 pounds
