No wonder I ache like a sonofabitch and none of my clothes fit. Jebus.
How did I let this happen? I was doing so well, you know, two years ago. I can only blame myself, I know. I can make excuses about grief and middle age and metabolism all day, and that won't change the fact that I had the power to keep this from happening.
On the other hand, I also have the power to reverse the damage.
And, I'm on the right track. I'm on day 12 of no sugar and no soda. I am tracking every bite that goes into my mouth and I am paying attention to my body. While I haven't been able to incorporate exercise into the program yet, I plan to do just that-starting today-now that my schedule has freed up in the evenings. As the weather continues to get cooler, it will also be possible to spend more time outdoors, so walking will be my go-to exercise for a while.
This isn't a set-back; it's a challenge, and, I'm up to it.
