My scale seems to be malfunctioning!

Roger that! 10-4 is a way of saying “message received” in radio communications. It’s also used as a way to say “you got it.”

Or is it time for me to face reality and make better daily health and nutrition choices if I want to feel better, lose and maintain a healthy weight since I am just under 5′ 2″? I do not want to just focus on weight, but I know I will feel better, and I will be healthier if I lose some weight and that is what is most important to me.

I have always fluctuated in weight and usually I have been 10-20 pounds over what I should weigh. I have always been self-conscious of that and had poor body image and low self-esteem. I am working on loving myself as I am, but I know this isn’t easy and it will take me time since it has been many decades of this kind of thinking. I am posting my weight more as a measuring tool for me while I work on my health. I am not going to dwell on it and my true guide will be on how I feel, and I know I will feel better when I lose weight or in realistic terms, lose excess adipose tissue or in layman’s terms just plain fatty fat!

I need to get my head out of the sand and work on more be aware of my moment-by-moment choices for my future self.

Yes, it is 10-4-2023 today and I weighed…

Not 10-4 like the date, but 140 pounds

In other words, **please stop talking about it and just DO** **IT!**

My goal is to be able to step on the scale and say…

I wrote this post a year ago and never posted it! Well, a year later…this is where that I am at:

144!

144! I don’t think this is the direction that I wanted or want to go!

One year ago today, I weighed 140 pounds and today I weigh144 pounds! That isn’t the direction that I wanted to go! So, I went back and read all the blog posts that I have written up to today and I haven’t completed some of the goals that I wanted to reach. I had planned on deleting this website at the end of this month since I haven’t been using it, but I decided to keep it until the end of the year and work on reaching the goals that I haven’t reached yet.

So, I plan on posting weekly at least until the end of the year and my goal in the next 3 months is to get in shape by losing some weight and also decreasing my bmi, doing some things out of my comfort zone while I am working on trying to better myself every day and update my 72-hour emergency bag (B.O.B.) and some skills that go with it.

As I am trying to keep my chin up after revisiting this past year and my posts and not making the progress that I had wanted, I will post next week and for the next 12 weeks and reassess then, but really focusing on one day at a time and my daily choices that will help get me to my goals.

The biggest thing for me to remember while doing this, is to make my daily choices a lifestyle that I can realistically live with!
