oh Hi!

Sone Fox said I could come play here. Here's a short intro: I'm 45 (almost),married (almost)24 years to Terry, and have 4 boys ages 22,20,18 and 11. I once was fat but now I'm round. Due to medications for a psychiatric disorder (that makes it sound like it's someone elses fault, doncha know) I went from 135 pounds to 205, then about 6 months ago the med was changed and I dropped 15 pounds, which is TOTALLY enough to require a new wardrobe, do you agree? We live in the Deepest South (Southeast Georgia not far from Savannah. Think live oaks and spanish moss), where food is a necessary part of any gathering involving more than 1 person.

I doubt I'll ever be 135lbs again, and I'm ok with that, but I'd love to see 150 because that would put me a size 14, which J. Peterman carries and I've always wanted a frock coat from J. Peterman. Terry said if I get there he'll buy me one. Since I am a housewife, I depend on him for spending money and so if it's clothes and it costs more than $100 I kind of expect him to buy it, rather than just going out an getting it for myself.

Anyway my so-called 'weight loss journey' is more like an idle mosey, with an occasional side trip to Uncle Shug's Chicken Barn (Southern style fried chicken OMG!) followed by a week of guilt and lite yogurt. Thank, Stone Fox, for inviting me to play here, oh I know I asked first but you didn't have to.

Oy. Painful.

I seem to be creeping ever upwards. I have been running, off and on.  I bought a jump rope so I could do some cardio at home if hubby was working.  I am trying to get in some weights now and again. I am still struggling with motivation. (Obviously.)
