I've heard
slow and steady wins the race
So I will keep this snails pace
to try to get healthy and fit
I may stall but I won't quit
Keeping my set goals in mind
I will work not to
fall behind
But over the years
lessons learned
a worthwhile goal
is one you have earned
and also if I go to fast
I tend to land upon my,
ahem, Tattoo

So , here is where I am at 12 lbs down from the start. Still not swimming (other than in Mexico ) but I have scheduled some physio, for my back and am hoping to get some time in at the pool on physio days (same location) .
Fell off my program for a bit , while living large in Mexico,, but , didn't gain , just didn't lose for a while. Then with some birthday celebrations , I was a little less than mindful of what I was doing , and fell face first(figuratively) into my sister's amazing cheesecake, but seriously if you had ever tasted this stuff, you would understand! True ambrosia!
All in all still doing OK, and looking forward to a steady progression towards my goal .
Hope everyone else is satisfied with their achievements so far.
Stay safe and warm !

Soooo, you have a tattoo on your ahem!
Cheeeeeesecakeeeee mmmmmm, yup I'd have fallen too.
LOL, yup never said it outright way back when I did the "rainbow on my tummy and a heart tattoo on my ..." post did I?
12 pounds is great good for you ! As for me being menopausal is whats keeping me from loosing weight its tuff either way ! Hope you get your back feeling better ! Cute poem. Good luck with it all and we all deserve a treat every now and then ! Have a good day !
12 pounds is quite an accomplishment! I have been riding my bike and haven't yet lost squat. My pants don't fit any differently yet either but I am sticking with it because my cardio has improved, so yeah. I will take what I can and leave the rest alone. For now anyways.
I love me a good cheesecake and I would have failed in resisting it too.
Congrats! Being on hold is definately better than gaining, so I always call it a win.
Good for you! I'm trying hard to stay focused too but fell of the wagon yesterday.....back on it today but its a rough ride by the fridge.
Oh my darlin' ya made the trip to the most wonderful food in the world (Mexico) and didn't put an ounce on those hips....I'd call that a grand success my friend!!!
Please, of please, don't beat yourself up girl...slow and steady wins the weight race anyway.
God bless ya and have a fantastic day sweetie.
Do ya think your sis has any of that amazin' cheesecake left???
'Just askin'....... :o)
