I'm April, a retired Marine, mother of 2 sons and grandmother of 3 wonderful grandchildren. I've been battling my weight since I retired and have had success at losing weight, but always seem to gain it back. I have some medical issues that limit my physical activity and medications that alter my metabolism which make losing weight very difficult. When I quit smoking I acquired a sugar craving. My goal is to kick the sugar and lose enough weight to ease my back pain. Being motivated and positive feels so good, you would think that that would be my addiction.

    Thanks for the comment. DB and I wait for 4:45pm and head out walking. I am not getting as much walking during the day as at work (stairs in four story building) but things are picking up for the evenings!

    Thanks for taking the time to read my blog and leave a comment. You're totally right too, I keep having to learn this lesson over and over. This time is the last time though. I need to take better care of my body & be mindful of its limitations!
