Finding Fitness at 50

Journey to Better Health

Back to the blog

Been away from blog for a while. It’s not that I didn’t have anything to say, but I’ve had some technological problems.

While I’ve become fairly adept at finding fitness, this blogging stuff sometimes frustrates me.

My total weight loss at this point is 34 pounds. And I have finally gone and purchased a new pair of jeans. Too many friends and co-workers were bugging me about my baggy pants!

I almost gave up without a purchase, thanks to Lane Bryant’s new sizing system. Good grief. I had to have the help of a clerk AND the manager to help me figure it out. They were kind and helpful, and I am grateful. It’s nice to have a pair of jeans that don’t feel they are going to fall off and humiliate me.

Have been trying to get in some swimming in the Wellness Center pool in the evenings.

And, for the record, I’m still trying to develop a taste for oatmeal. I’m not giving up.

Leslie,
If you think Lane Bryant’s sizing system is weird, you
should try the one at Lands’ End!

Seriously, though, 34 pounds is wonderful progress.
Does it seem like just
yesterday that you started
or does it really feel like
the two months it’s been?
