It has been 2 weeks today since my childhood friend past away. WE ARE TOO YOUNG. Okay, I will be 56 years young 2 months from today. We are too young to die. There is still so much ahead of us. I am lazy. I have let time slip away. Time that I will never be able to regain. I am fat. My health is crappy. Nothing serious. Just I have not taken care of myself. Here's my list:
55 years old
4foot 9inches
176 lbs (I resemble Sponge Bob) Square body with a head sitting on top
I am on 4 prescription medications: Acid reflux, anti-depressant, cholesterol and an inhaler.
I drink 5 to 6 cans of Diet Dr. Pepper every day. I smoke 5 - 6 cigarettes a day (down from a pack a day, so that is an accomplishment). I do not exercise. I am TIRED all the time. IT IS TIME TO CHANGE. I have 7 beautiful grandchildren that I would like to live to see them become adults and have children of their own. They are ages 17, 16, 14, 13, 5, 5, and 3-1/2. I know that we do not control when we die. That is in God's hands. But isn't it our obligation to live our life to the fullest, to enjoy each day that God gives us, to do good for others, to be a true friend and to help those in need?
It is time to change. I am going to try really hard to make some (hopefully all) of the changes that need to be made. Diet and exercise to begin with. Thankfully, the weather will start getting a little warmer this week. I am so sick of cold and snow. And with warmer weather I can start walking. That is about the only "exercise" that I enjoy doing. So I need to walk, walk, walk.
I hope you will follow along with me as I give you updates as I go. By the day I hit 56, I would like to have 20 lbs off. And not feel so tired all the time. I would like to enjoy this summer of ball games with my grandchildren. WISH ME LUCK!!!! PRAY FOR ME!!!! Thank you.
