An inconvenient truth.

That's what my brain says, but my jiggly ass says something different.

BTW - I weigh myself every 2 weeks at work, which is how I know I lost 5 pounds, for those of you wondering how the hell I know that if I don't own a scale.

Good God - that's how I knew there was a huge problem - the first time I felt myself jiggle when I walked. I wanted to cry I have never in my life felt my stomach move while I walked until recently - and it's really bumming me out.

I. Know.

I have a current obsession with backfat - do I have it, is it only because a certain bra doesn't fit properly, is this shirt too tight.... I can somewhat deal with a big ass & a gut, I've always been a pear shape & I've always had a belly as far back as I can remember. But backfat? Ugh.

Yes backfat, the most hated of all fats. I'm telling you, aerobic exercise is where it's at. That back fat will melt away. I've been doing a lot of step aerobics with weights lately and I've noticed a HUGE difference fast. I bet I've lost 10-15 lbs, I don't know for sure because I don't own a scale either, but I'm wearing jeans today that I haven't been able to fit into for a year and they're loose! I have to say, I'm overjoyed.

the heaviest weight in my life, 247lbs (But I am 6'-2").

Had a doctor's appt. today about other health issues and my Dr. recommends that I need to lose a few pounds, So I am going to cut back on the lil' sweet stuff that I eat now (Not a candy/sweet freak...Nor do I like chocolate) and drink more water.

As soon as the weather becomes reasonable (Whenever it is finally no longer 100+ degrees) & I get my ongoing headaches minimized I will start my long walking exercise up once again (Used to average nearly 5 miles a day).

These two things are the best for anyone. I drink lots of water. I also drink a lot of mineral water (San Pellegrino) that I buy by the case at Costco. I swear it has healing powers.

the best water we drink is the tap water. If you fill a bottle with the tap water (Add ice) and let it sit in the frig for an hour it is the best tasting water you'll have ever drunk.

As for all the mention of Colorado, I hope to visit Denver yet again to do some snooping around...Lot of family secrets exist in Denver.

Want to lose some pounds quickly... start jogging/running if you can - it melts away fast! Get some friends together, sign up for a relay race in your area or some sort of 5 - 10k run or something and start working towards that... you'll get some good results pretty quick.

I did start running again earlier this year. I have to be careful though because I've got joint issues.

Haha. Let me know if I can be of any help.
