Wow! I'm reminded daily of how much my life has changed since I turned 50 and had a hysterectomy. For some reason my body just doesn't want to do what it used to. (haha) I guess it's a menopause thing. When I was in my 40's I swore I would never allow myself to get run down and tired and not be interested in the things I loved to do. But it's happened.
When I wake each morning I'm stiff and can't bend and my feet hurt, I tell myself I'm not going to allow age, or neuropathy or anything to get in my way of enjoying life. And for the most part I do pretty good. I just need to kick myself in the butt and change how things are right now.
I've always been one who loved to exercise. I had many people tell me that that can't believe I love it but I do. I love the way it makes me feel when I'm done. I'm proud of myself for dragging my body to the gym and working up a sweat for an hour or so. But since I had my foot surgery and shoulder surgery I've put on a lot of weight and can't seem to get out of this funk. So I'm hoping I can change my attitude and get back to the way I was. The person I liked and the person that felt good mentally and physically.
I'm going to be 52 in June. Ouch!! I thought my mom was so old when she was my age and now look at me. I"m there..lol I've always told myself I would be just like my mom. She was so active and full of life. I remember her always wanting to be thinner. She'd get on the ground and sit on her butt and go back and forth moving forward and backward trying to get rid of her cellulite. We used to laugh at her but I guess she was desperate like I am..lol
I pray that I can make the changes in my life that will make me happier with myself and to live a long healthy life.

Well, I think you seem a lot happier lately actually!! And I think you're too hard on yourself! You look great! With age you gain a little more weight... nothing wrong with that. But I'm sure you want to lose the weight so your joints don't hurt and you can be more active. That's how I am right now! My knees and body hurt! Extra weight isn't fun! But you seem really happy and upbeat so keep it up! :) its all about the attitude. Love you. Oh and PS, that's a way pretty picture!
