I was out of bed at the crack of 9:30 and in the pool this morning! I did my water exercises and running for an hour before I got ready for work. I felt so good just knowing that I took time for myself and did something beneficial for my body. This summer has been a slow change in attitude for me. I have come to realize that I won't be here forever and the time I am here on this Earth needs to be of quality. I visit my sister at a nursing home almost every night and watch a lady who appears to be in her early sixties scoot her overweight body in an oxygen toting wheelchair going from coffee pot to coffee pot asking every nurses aide she sees to get her "something." Now this really saddens me that this woman is in this shape at such a young age. I wish that she had turned the "ship" around when she had the chance. I have always made excuses to myself as to why I continued to gain weight, or why I couldn't exercise, but I am done with that. No more excuses! It is up to me and no one else. I have to take the helm of my "ship" and turn it around before I end up like the lady in the wheelchair. So far this month, I have lost about 6 pounds and 7 1/2 inches. ! I refuse to let this ship sink or stray too far off course.
