Today is my birthday, well, it's past midnight now so it's officially over now - Yesterday was my birthday. Boy how time flies, I can remember being young and thinking that it seemed like forever before I'd be where I am today - 39! Have I accomplished the things that I hoped to? Have I become what I wanted to be? I'm not so sure that I have. Am I getting old? Somedays I feel like I am, other days I feel like my life is still ahead of me.
One thing I know that I have not accomplished is loosing weight and getting control of my health. I gave up on being "skinny" a long time ago and have come to understand that what it's really about is being healthy and extending my time here on earth for as long as I can. I have 2 beautiful girls that need me, and I need to be here for them. I have high blood pressure and I am at risk for developing diabetes, I refuse to give in to either. As I mentioned in an earlier post I have joined Weight Watchers, so I think that I am headed in the right direction. Tomorrow is weigh-in day and quite frankly, I'm a little worried about getting on the scale. Mostly because I have been cooped up in the house all weekend with the refridgerator calling my name. It snowed on Friday afternoon, it snowed about 6 inches and in NC that's enough to keep folks home. It quit snowing early Saturday afternoon but the temperatures stayed in the 20's all day. Then church was cancelled this morning so we decided not to venture out at all again today. Anyway, being in the house all weekend has made it VERY hard for me not to eat everything in the kitchen! I've done pretty good for the most part - better today than yesterday, thanks to the funnel cakes that Steve made yesterday. One day can't ruin it for the whole week, but did I do good enough all week? Only time will tell, and that time is 6:00 tomorrow evening...I guess we'll see!
