18 Days Til..........

I am BEYOND ANCIENT!  At least that is what my son keeps telling me.  Oh days I feel like I am ancient and then there are days I don't feel the age I am, I feel like I am one of my kids.  I don't want to be this way. 

I have always said I will start it this next week this next day.....NO I START NOW!!!  I saw my DR  not at an appointment, just saw him.  He reminded me that in 3-4 yrs if I don't do something about this weight I will be in a wheelchair or walker....or worse and we AREN'T going there.   So time to do it!! Time to get the pitty party ended and get my head clear and get it done!!! Stop and Think where I could and will be in my life and the lives of my children.  I have so much to live for.  I am not being down on myself, yes in a way I am, NO I am making so any EXCUSES....NO MORE EXCUSES.  There is so much I want to do and the goals I have in my life to do for ME!!  I have found more support locally then I thought I would have had, I have found I can't keep anything a secret anymore for anyone.  One of my goals in life and since where I live is to be on the Arkansas River.  Rafting or kayaking, which neither one of those I can do because of my weight.  I keep getting guides tell me not to worry and that it will be safe for me.  I  don't trust myself in the water.  I am not a strong swimmer but I still want to enjoy what is around me.

My Goals before I am 21 for the 22nd time....HAHAHAHAHA

1. Stand Up for myself
2. Change my way of thinking
3.  As a good friend and Inspiration says GET UP AND GIVE BACK  I have a plan.
4. Eat healthier, live healthier, Be Healthier
5.Over all loose about 250lbs.....no not at once I  know that....1 lb at a time
6. Get in the water....swim more and then in the summer get to moving in the river
7. GO RAFTING
8. GO KAYAKING
9. CLIMB A 14er....with my family and friends
10. Teach my children about good health and good life
11.  LIVE MY LIFE TO THE FULLEST!!

Ok so that is just one little bit of my life and putting these out there is a good constant reminder I need to live my life for me first and foremost.  I am ready to take on any challenge thrown my way.....with in reason.

To my Inspiration Friends.....Thank You for being there for me all these months being a part of my life.  I wouldn't be as far as I am in my life without knowing anyone of you.  I LOVE EACH ONE OF YOU
You all know how you are.   I will never give up on you.....you never give up on me!!
