I went to visit some friends on Father’s day. We took a group picture. I wore a cute light green shirt and white shorts. I was feeling really put together. OMG I was the fattest person in the picture.
I recently had a physical and the doctor told me I am pre-diabetic. I have strugglex with my weight for years. It is time to get back to healthy.
I made the committment. I paid for and downloaded the Weight Watcher app. The first day of counting exchanges, I was negative 24. I had eaten a giant cream puff from a bakery in San Antonio. So…this week I have had no Dr. Peppers, have eaten lots of boiled eggs and have plowed through a bag of spinach.
I did not realize how low my energy would be without loads of sugar in my body. Last night I went to bed at 8 pm and wokecup at 5:45 am this morning.
I could not take it anymore. This morning on the way into work I stopped at Mickie Dee’s and got a sausage biscuit and a large Mocha Frappe.
So now I am negative 31 points for the week. I am going to have to run a freakin marathon to get those points down. Oh well, I still have faith.
Hello, my name is Dinky. This is a name given to me in my first marriage. It is my grandma name. A few other selected individuals address me as such. I am a onetime divorced, one-time widowed single woman trying to discover the real me. I will take you on my journey. Read if you are interested.
I feel that I am a hard knock educated person. I have been a working mother, a stay-at-home wife, a Christian, a caretaker, and a retired woman. I am always seeking wisdom on how to improve as a person and hopefully I can share as I learn more.
I have many interests. I enjoy cooking because I enjoy eating. I am not a great cook but am eager to try new recipes. I will share these with you. I have a degree in business management and a certification in food science. I have worked man years in the food manufacturing industry.
I also have a small farm. I have some cows, a donkey, some wild horses a bull and two dogs. I would like to explore more homesteading techniques and become self-sustained. Maybe we can learn together. I encourage your input and ideas.
I have spent many years learning how to make quilts. This is another hobby I would like to get back into. I am always up to learn new crafts and explore new projects.
I am really big on goal setting and finding ways to make my life simpler. I will take you through some of my ideas on that progress.
Lastly, but biggest on my list is that I am a Christian in continual growth mode. I will never be all that I should, and I will never judge people in regard to their own journey. I am always open for discussion on this topic.
If you find my talks interesting, feel free to follow me. If I say or write anything offensive feel free to call me out. I am up for improvement and self-growth.
Welcome to learning about me and helping me in my self-discovery.

Sounds like you have the motivation! Iād say be realistic and plan to make changes to your diet that you can sustain over a period of time, rather than too much too soon. Best of luck and hope it goes well š
