Re: The Midlife Quest for Health: It's Not About Looks Anymore

Thank you, Mariann!

The good news is, I'm down 22 pounds now. I lost 8 of it while I was sick with the flu a couple of weeks ago, but I'll take it any way I can get it! With a body my size, it's not a significant amount of weight loss, but I FEEL so much better psychologically, my knees don't hurt as much, I'm getting around better, and even self-care tasks have become a good deal easier to manage without being a contortionist.

Yes, life is better without those 22 pounds.........and I'm not starving myself or depriving myself of anything. Just using common sense---what a concept, eh?

Thanks for the update, Marla. We're all rooting for you! I see that you are a grandmother and I'm excited that you will get to enjoy that so much more since you will be feeling so much better. Best wishes!

You got THAT right! Elijah is 13 months old now and running around EVERYWHERE.........I didn't know I could move as fast as I did last night when he suddenly gave the lamp cord a big tug I mean, I was out of that chair and across the room before anyone could say "Eli, NO!" After that, Grandpa sat over by the lamp and Eli would just toddle over and point at the plug, looking at him quizzically, and Grandpa would go "Ouch! Hurt!" Smart kid, he got the idea pretty quickly, too..........now he simply walks over to the outlet, looks at it and puts his hands behind his back.
