A Belated Happy New Year
I'm getting a late start on this old blog that I have decided to resurrect. We're already starting the second week of January in the new year of 2021.
I'm not going to rehash over the year 2020. It was bad for everyone and praying that 2021 is going to be better.
I've let my writing go dormant for so long and I forgotten how much I loved writing.
So, here we go with thoughts, ideas, opinions, information and even questions that often rattles around between my ears from day to day. I hope you find my writing interesting, as well as informative.
I spent Christmas and New Years in Chicago with my daughter, son in law and my two grandchildren. I had never been anywhere up north except to Ohio where I was born. So this was a new, exciting and a "cold" experience for me.
If you do not know, I was born in Ohio but moved to SW Florida when I was 9 years old, so Florida is home to me. FYI: It doesn't snow in Florida.
Starting off today: Sunday, January 10, 2021 and I've been back on the Weight Watchers online program for one week and I'm happy to say that I've lost 6.5 pounds in the first week. That is an unusual amount for the first week but I believe it is mostly water weight. No matter, it's a loss and I'll take it.
I'm also mentioning my weight loss journey online again to help keep me accountable.
I started keeping a journal of sorts with lots of pictures the day I flew from Fort Myers, Florida to Chicago, Illinois.
I'd love to share them with you. I promise it won't be overwhelming.
I'm still working on a schedule for this year. Now that I'm retired, I want to be able to do other things and not sit in one place too long. NOTE: A big cause of my weight gain over the last few years.
A combination of grieving over the loss of my husband, depression, anxiety and just in general feeling like I don't belong anywhere has put my weight to an amount that I can't seem to write down but I will say I'm heavier than I've ever been in my life. I can't believe I let it get to this point. It creeps up before you know it.
My recent trip to Chicago has been an eye opener (I've had quite a few eye openers in the last 3 to 4 years) that has been life-changing and life-altering for me.
I'm thinking that I may only post once a week but since I'm wanting to start writing again, I may update the blog more often this time.
Enjoy your week and I'll see you back here very soon.
