Come And Walk The Walk With Me
I need your support
Not talk the talk.................
It may be cold and seem like fall leading to winter every where else, but not here in the Villages Florida. The day was cool early this morning but by 9: o'clock the sun was shining and I did not need a jacket for my morning walk.
I am starting my New Years resolutions a bit early this year, like every other year I am going to loose the extra baggage I am caring around on this body of mine. But this time I am starting early so by New Years Day I will have a good start on this once again thing called........Eating healthy and staying fit....DIET.............. I also thought if I start now I will think about the food that I will consume over the holidays, I will try every thing but in much smaller portions.

I also thought if I start now I will think about the food that I will consume over the holidays, I will try every thing but in much smaller portions.
I have an appointment for Curves tomorrow and I will work on the fitness area there, I have been and will be walking 2 miles every day. I will start Weight Watchers this week and get both things rolling. In the past I exercised and did not watch the diet that well..........Or I did the diet but did not exercise that much..........But this time I will do both and I will succeed.........I have said before I am women and watch me roar. I have posted my before pictures here and of course I am very covered up and in my after picture you will see more of me........I have a habit of wearing long tops to cover up my amble body must say that I look like I am in a line up and I am very guilty of eating way to many goodies.
We have all been there for each other in times of need..........and I thought lets get real. If I am going to do this and I am going to succeed I need to be honest with my self first........but with the support and encouragement of all of you out there in my blogging would and Curves and Weight Watchers , just maybe I can do this thing called staying healthy.
With this said I have a little story to tell you. I lost my father at the age of 67 ... my sister at the age of 67......and my first cousin, Dick at the age of 67....... So I would say I have a family history of heart problems.
was always thin but I am on a medicine that has a side affect of weight gain.......and boy that pill works wonderful...........should put that one on TV for people that need to gain weight ..........Any way I was 64 In August and on my next birthday will be 65......yes that age when you get that wonderful medicare card.....and also nearing the age of 67...........I missed many wonderful years of not having my dad, sister and cousin around to share memories with.
So you can see why I have to get busy and start thinking about the extra 35 lbs. I am caring around with me. Not tomorrow or next Monday but right now. In blog land we wish each other Happy Birthday and we are there when some one needs help...........I need help and support and I am willing to put my weight amount out there for all of you to see. Now and today so that God may bless me with many more wonderful years to be with my family.
I have very good support from Charlie who of course has no weight problem what so ever...... I want to post each week to all of you what I have lost so..............here goes...............
I am 5 foot two and eyes of blue and weigh 179 lbs........now that was not so bad.......179 lbs on a 5 ft. 2 in .frame is a lot of extra body weight and of course the extra fat I have is in the middle..........not a god thing......another point toward heart problems.
I will on a weekly basis put down my weight after the weight watchers meeting for all of the blog would to see. You can be support or you you can come along with on my venture..............I would love to have others who have a few extra lbs to lose to start this week with me. You may not need W.W. or curves like I do but may want to help your self set your early New Years resolution and come along with me on my ride to better health and happiness. I will walk the walk to success and good health and not talk the talk..........like I have done in the past..............
So please check in weekely and see what I have lost......can not beleive the whole blogging would and my husband now know the number................

Go for it Sharon, we too have a family history of heart problems, so I can identify! With you every step...Nel
Blessings on your worthwhile venture towards health. I am working on the same thing. Weight loss is suppose to help sleep apnea!
I admire your resolve in dealing with this. I am anxious to keep up with your progress on this front.
You can do it Sharon Kay!! I am also watching my portions throughout the holidays and I'm going to do better with my walking. I'm looking foward to your updates!

I think your idea of starting before the holidays is excellent. I'll be cheering you on. I'm watching portions sizes and would like to lose about 10#.
Good luck!!
Wishing you all the luck in the world Sharon!
Keep walking, keep positive and do it for yourself and your family!
Another wonderful example of....when I have need of something, I find it. :-)
You and I are so much alike... age, height, necessary weight loss, etc., etc., etc. No need to go on. Just saying.... And I resonate with your "Quest," becaue I just started one myself.
I wish you all the luck in the world. And I hope to follow your journey. And hope so much, to succeed in mine.
Another 'Nana'... Who needs to 'healthy-up' :-))))
It is a sweet a loving thing for you to do for your family who want to keep you a long time as well! Good luck...love those 'after' pictures!
Hoorah for you Sharon!! I belong to Curves and I do like it. The changing things every 30 seconds keep things moving and it passes so quickly! Not boring like other workouts. They make it fun. I think working at Curves would be a fun thing too!!
I need to lose about the same amount you do, but I am 5'9". If only it were as easy to lose as it is to gain it. Sigh.
You can do it. You are on the right path!!
Good for you Sharon ~ I'll be cheering you on!
Sharon, as the kids say, "YOU GO GIRL!!" I think that it is so admirable of you to start on this journey to better health. I support you 110% and I rooting for you all the way! YOU CAN DO IT!!
Blessings to you,
Susan P.
Thanks so much for your comments on my new venture. It means a lot to me and just think I have to answer weekly to each of you. I have to weigh in and tell Charlie and all of you just how well I did......I can do this....Sharon Kay
I am soooooo very excited for you!!! You are starting a GREAT journey and a new way of living! You will feel so much better once you start giving your body healthier foods (and less of it) and exercise!!!
I've been following Weight Watchers plan since January of this year and have lost 54 pounds so far. I've got much further to go, but I feel GREAT so far and am ready to conquer the rest of my weight!
I can't wait to read your updates!
His,
Mrs. U
I wish you the very best of luck. And I will keep checking in. I too am trying to lose some weight. Its rather hard this time of year, but if I just maintain and not gain, then that will work.
You can do it!!!
Hi Sharon ~ hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Hey, I seen your blog, you can do it...I'll take that white dress and make it a size 6..so you can wear it on the beach...LOLOL Linda Lu
Dear Sharon...losing weight is very difficult, no lying about that, but with determination and encouragement you can do it:-) I'm so proud of you, doing something about it NOW...too many of us say "I'll start on Monday"...but what Monday from which year??? lol Go into this with a ROAR, for as you said you are WOMAN...you'll feel so much better for having done something to make your health so much better!! Best of luck my friend, we're all here for you! xoxo
What you are accomplishing is so important. I support you with all my heart. I just lost about 7 lbs and gained it back so I'm back almost at square one again to lose 10 pounds. I keep telling myself I'm feeding my brain and lungs and heart for health, not my taste buds. blessings to you!
Now that you have committed yourself and put your height & weight out there, I know that you will be successful with your goal. Good luck with WW, it really works.
l might just join you on this one Sharon- have gained lots of weight since Sam was born but that was over 4 years ago and l have done nothing about it!! Shame. Anyway l am going to cut back on my portion sizes like Sue and try to lose a few ponds- a few stone more like-help!
l will be checking in to see how you are doing my friend- best of luck.
