I turned 67 yesterday! And, it wasn't as painful as most of my recent birthdays. In fact, it was painless. No, I haven't been using wine to dull the pain. In fact, I had a glass of wine to celebrate and after 2 sips I didn't want anymore! I am so glad that I have completely lost my taste for alcohol, one of the unexpected twists in this journey. It was painless because I feel years younger than I have over the past several years. I have more energy, I can walk very fast for a half hour plus now, and I just move better. I still have a few aches and pains from the arthritis/stenosis in my spine, but it is much less intense and less frequent. I attribute this younger me to the weight loss of 30 pounds over the past year, plus the 10 I had lost the previous year.
And, to what do I attribute the weight loss? I keep writing this because it is so true and important: I have learned to acknowledge and listen to my inner spirit. Yes, I do eat a lot less, I do eat differently, I do exercise more, but all of this is the result of learning to use what I already had but didn't know how it could help me.
So here I am at 67, using Jennifer's program and my own inner resources to lose this weight. I wonder how much younger I will feel when I turn 68?
Here I am at 66!
Yesterday, 67!
