It's been awhile since I've posted. I've been in the wilderness for what feels like forty years! I confess that my commitment has wavered. I've LET things get between me and my goal! Last post, I was breaking through the after Christmas set back. Walking, tracking, feeling good! Then comes.....weather followed by sickness. I've had the upper respiratory crud for 4 and a half weeks! My exercise has come almost to a halt! Went for a 30 minute walk Friday and was exhausted for 2 days! It is too difficult to lose weight with diet alone because you can only have about 1200 calories and that is not enough for me! Also, I was pumped full of steroids so I could breathe. I gained 4 pounds in just one day! Thank God, I am almost done with those - last dose today! I am leaving Egypt, friends! I have a countdown app on my phone with November 28, 2013 - my 60th birthday - as my deadline! I want to enter this part of my life weighing in at my goal. I want to be fit and healthy for my retirement years. It is worth whatever I have to do ......and do without! JOURNEY RESUMED!!!!!!
