Well, I can't believe it is almost August 2019. My weight loss is continuing and I am still pretty active. I walk daily, ride a stationary bike several times a week, and use the gym and heated pool at Therafit twice a week. I eat 3 weighed and measured meals a day containing no flour, sugar, wheat, or artificial sweeteners of any kind. I drink water, or decaf coffee and tea inbetween. I also work part-time and enjoy visiting family in Florida and California. The reason I don't blog much is because I am so busy. Also, because I don't get any feedback, I figure no one pays attention. With all the emphasis on diets and healthy eating I am surprised that no one makes comments. I just looked at my first blog. I said that I had lost 62 lbs. As of today, I have lost another 45 lbs, bringing my total weight loss up to 107 lbs!!! Now, I just read another of my previous posts. I walk 3 miles most days (yesterday on walked...
I am spending the morning somewhat frustrated. I read a question at ObesityHelp where the person was wondering why they were not losing weight faster. They had read about another person who was exercising excessively and eating about 400 calories per day which seemed to be dangerous. This person was walking every day. These questions don't seem to be any different than those I ask myself. I used to weight 280 lbs. When I first went on a lower calories/ healthier diet I lost about 50 lbs pretty quickly. Since then I have been slowly losing, with some bumps of regaining a little weight. The problem with people following other people is that the information just isn't accurate enough. We don't take into consideration age, activity level, medications, height, body type, etc. I know that I bristle every time someone tells me that I am eating more than I think I do, because I am pretty fastidious about weighing, measuring and keeping track of what I eat, but I am still not...
I have decided to write about my family for my daughter, grandson and other relatives. Unfortunately or fortunately my ancesters were from England and France, but also native American on both sides( which is not provable now). My father died long before I was able to write down what he told me, but he was born in 1893 and left me the family bible and names and birthdates of Anuts & Uncle, According to him, his grandmother was native American, and taught him some of her language but that is all I remember. My mother lived longer, but was unable to give me much information before she died. Some of my mothers cousins filled me in on some things, but I need to research more. My grandfather on my mother's side was native American as well. My maternal grandmother , Juliet Gladu, was born in Trois Rivieres Canada. She and my grandfather were married in Winsocket, RI., but lived in Brockton, Massachusetts when I knew them.
