October 25, 2020 (part 2)
I'm me. Just that. I don't do shame, either given or taken. I'm 45. I have diabetes, a bit of tachycardia (heart rate is usually 90's-100's), degenerating vertebrae in two spots (don't ask numbers, 'cuz I don't remember), Ehler's Danlos Syndrome (see link). Also some damage to my shoulder from a dislocation.
I weigh about 190 pounds, give or take a pound or 5 any given week. I'm also 5'2.75". I used to be 5'3". I've SHRUNK!!!!
I try to walk a nice 3+ mile trek at least once a week, weather permitting.
I LOVE food.
My doctor would love it if I could lose 10 pounds. I'd love to, too. I'd actually love to lose more like 30ish. But... it hurts. I take my walk, and then when I sit down after, the back damage hurts.
It's very difficult to, I think the term is 'scale', enough to get effect, but not hurt.
I keep resolving to walk more, do more lifting, you know... be 'better'. I don't feel bad about not doing so much as...wish the results of doing it showed up faster, so that the resolution would be easier to hold to despite the pain.
I hope this blog helps me to do that.
I'll be putting up baseline pics soon. YAY- Paulette in her undies.
Done for now. Two thumbs up for intent, right?
