My Weight Loss Progress

I'd Walk a Mile...

You can see how out of shape I've gotten--again! I look fat! But I'm trying again!   Wait--I'm still in denial! Why is it so hard to say "I am fat." ??  I realized I said "I look fat!" 


Saturday we went to one of our city's many park trails. This one is exactly a mile long, with increments of 0.10 miles marked. It has "fitness stations" along the way--a pull-up bar, balance beam, sit-ups ramp, and so forth. Some of them are missing, but I at least tried the ones that are there.












It was a perfect day in the city. 83 degrees, light breeze blowing--who could ask for more. Some people were really pumping it up out there, but most were strolling like us.

Trees are budding, the grass is green, and a pretty little creek/canal runs through the middle of the park.




I thought it would be nice to put my feet right there where the soft silt has collected, but then I thought again. The water was likely cold, the creek had litter and who knows what else in it, and it was probably mud not sand.  I just decided to imagine it instead.  I sound like an Aesop's fable of some sort; I just can't remember which one.

  3. Lynn, when I pulled up this post, the first thing I saw was the picture of you walking on the path and I thought, "Wow! She looks great! I thought she kept saying she had gained a lot of weight!" Then I read your post and realized you still think you are fat. :(

    Enjoy your gorgeous self!
