Debbie and I got to talking while the others were talking about other things, and I found out that she's doing WW too! Little bitty Debbie! She says she's having the same problems I am with the weight gain around the middle. At our age it's no doubt related to "menopot", but in my case it's way more -- it's FAT. She's always been small (5'-2") and petite; never more than about 130 pounds. She always loved to exercise, too. I remember in one reunion yearbook, she wrote that exercise was one of her "passions". We were on the opposite ends of the spectrum on that one! I hated exercise and avoided it as much as possible! Jenny and I have been walking 4-6 times a week for 1-1/2 to 2 miles at a time, only for the past 6 weeks or so. That's a major shift and achievement for me! It's still not "fun", but with Jenny, it's enjoyable. Back in high school 30+ years ago I was naturally thin, but after 25 years of eating whatever I wanted and hanging out on the
couch, I got to this. Yuck...Well, Debbie said she's kind of lost motivation, but I've definitely picked some up over the past couple of weeks. So I told her I'd share this blog with her. Even though the thing is posted on the world-wide web, I'm pretty darn sure no one has ventured to look at it. It would be too damn boring to peruse at length anyway. I just started keeping it for my own benefit, as a kind of diary to chart my progress, so I wasn't trying to interest anybody else. If it might help motivate anybody else, go ahead and take a look. Hope you can stay awake...
