The NEVER ending cycle of trying to lose weight...

 Here I am once again, wanting to lose weight, it truly is a never ending cycle. I have lost weight before and felt so good about myself, then alas I sabotage myself and gain it back and then rinse and repeat. 

This was me at one of my heaviest times, you can really see it in my face. I hate looking like that!! Why do I do that to myself? I have made some improvements over time, but am still not where I want to be. I have many changes that need to be made. 

We are going to Hot Yoga and that is really helping with my stretching and moving abilities and we love it. Who'd have thunk it? I am also trying to eat better. Some days I do really well and others I cave in to cravings. I think it is an addiction to food, because I really crave it. Yet when I am eating better and starting to notice I love that feeling even more. Here is another picture of when I thought I looked good. Still doing my favorite hobby of eating, of course. 

I am hoping to beat the cycle and make some positive changes to my life and to my body. My mental health needs work too, to fix the addiction to food and find other ways to reward myself for things. It will be hard, but worth it in the end. 

I want to be able to enjoy my later years without all the aches and pains that come with getting older. I want to be healthy and happy with myself. So putting it in writing might help it happen. Wish me luck!!

 The year is 2022 and so much of life is flying by. Is life the same as it ever was, that is impossible. Life is forever changing and will continue to do so. It has been just a bit; like almost 9 years since I have even thought about this blog. I loved writing it and loved telling about my favorite things, so why haven't I touched it in so long? After my Mom passed in 2010, it was too hard to write things down. I did a couple of posts, but I had no passion for it to continue. I feel like no one sees or reads it anyway, it is just a way for me to preserve my thoughts and feelings and share some things I love. Most importantly my family and friends. I think that Facebook has replaced a lot of blogs, that is where we tend to put things now days, so blogs get forgotten, at least in my case. 

I am still married to my incredible Husband, we are going on over 35 years now and couldn't be happier together. Over the last 13 years, many things have been great and some things have been tough, but together we get through it all. He is my rock, my friend, my counselor and my life coach. He wants nothing but the best for me and vice versa. We make it work as team. I want to update about my children, maybe I will do that in individual posts for each of them. I am so very blessed and happy. Could things improve? 100% yes, but I am content and that is all that matters!!
