Diary of a Mad White Woman

I had several different titles come to mind for this post....
"Light Bulb Moment"....
"A Message Brought to You By"......
I thought that one might catch more attention!!!
But...on to what I want to share.....
Guess what I discovered????
I know I'm a slow learner...but....I spent the morning mowing the yard....PUSH MOWING....which is a bit more exercise than my hips and legs and feet can handle...but I know I need the exercise.
Which...is leading to what this post is all about.

I really wish that I could get back all the money and time I've spent over the years on trying to loose weight. Somehow...in my poor feeble mind...I equated spending money...and time....with the pounds just melting away. I wanted a simple fix....for the weight to fall off as quickly as it went on!!!
But...guess what happened???
Most of the time I would wind up gaining back....plus even extra pounds....any that I might have lost.
Yesterday...it dawned on me...that I'm never going to get my weight off unless I do 2 things....EAT LESS...and....MOVE MORE!!!
Isn't that a simple solution???
It doesn't cost anything to get out and walk...push mow the yard....lug around 40 pound grandsons!! HA! HA! Why am I telling you all this??? Because....I know there are plans out there that really do work...and I know that often we do much better if we do it with somebody else...and we're held accountable. But....wouldn't it be easier if you just found a friend to buddy up with and walk with them, and be accountable to them if you feel like sitting down and eating an entire half gallon of chocolate ice cream (not that I've ever done that, mind you!!!).
So...that's my weight loss advice....if I'll just listen to myself!!!
Now if any of you feel the need to pay me for this way to loose weight....I'll gladly accept cash...checks....money orders....or you can even pay me thru PayPal!!
HA! HA! HA!


Blessings,
