Reasons ....
I'm liking being back blogging. I need it.
My reasons why I need to look after myself.
My grandbabies. I'd forgotten just how 24/7 littlies are. I'm totally stuffed after we've had them for the weekend. I need more energy and I need to get fit because we're going to have them as much as we can and no. 3 is in the planning stage.
Health & wellbeing. Up until the past 18 months I've never been sick. I have a real bad dose of flu about once a decade and that's about it. Now I'm on so much medication I hate it. I have high blood pressure, asthma, allergies, hot flushes. I'm pretty sure all this medication isn't helping any weightloss. So I'm hopeful if I can lose weight i can lose some of these pills. My self image has taken a beating because I'm been feeling so blah. I'm over too snugly clothes.
My vanity. Next February I turn 50. I'm not worried about turning 50, I've lived a very full life and experienced many things. But I would rather be a healthy, sexy 50. I want people to say I don't look anywhere near 50. I want people to think I'm in my 40's not my 50's. So yes, I do have a vain streak.
And those are my reasons.

Woohooo you go girl....looking forward to seeing a new you in the future...you can do it :-)
ReplyDeleteVery worthwhile reasons - you can do it. So good to have you back again:-)
ReplyDeleteI too am on medication that is causing weight gain... but I can't stop taking it as that would mean having a hot flush every 20 minutes day and night!
ReplyDeleteNO THANK YOU!
You don't need to be thin to have people think you are younger than you actually are! I still get told I don't look my age and I'm FAT.
All very valid reasons & it is not vain.
