Elaine’s Place

I haven’t updated here for awhile but I wanted to let everyone know that doesn’t already know that so far I have lost 38 pounds. I’m so excited and now you can really begin to see it. I love it when folks say “Oh, I haven’t seen you for awhile…have you lost weight?”… Nothing brings a smile to my face quicker.

It is indeed a journey but Russ and I are determined and it is finally beginning to really pay off. He just mentioned to me that folks at his place of employment has begun to notice…well, they should! He’s lost twice as much as I’ve had and he’s looking good for his effort.

It is a well known fact that men lose weight quicker. I believe it might be because they are just more active. You would think doing housework would do the trick…but it doesn’t. I was doing housework the whole time I was putting on the weight.

Well, you say… perhaps that’s because you were eating the wrong things. Well, that is true in part but even when I began to eat properly, I was still putting on weight The bottom line is that you must burn more than you take in…bottom line!

In my case, I just started to take walks everyday in addition to what I normally do. It did the trick! There is no miracle cure for overweight! Eat less and proper…get exercise! How many times do we hear it! Me? I’d rather just take a pill but that’s where we all go wrong…

Anyway, things are going well and I’m hoping by summer I will be a reasonable weight. I doubt if anyone will ever look at me and think of me as being skinny but losing down to where I feel comfortable will do for me.

That’s all for now but weigh-in happens in 2 weeks. Let’s see what happens then!
