Look How Far I've Come
FOXBAY99

My challenge today is to look back at the changes I've made and see how far I've come. I joined SparkPeople on 11-4-15, about a year ago. In that time I have reached and maintained my goal weight and found a lot more energy and motivation. I have motivated some people, in my apartment complex for Seniors and the disabled, to come over and do SparkPeople exercise videos with me. Perhaps most important, I am happy with myself and with my life. Although retired, I am busy doing things all day and some evenings. I usually choose to do more active things rather than sit in front of the TV in the evening. I have learned that "ME TIME" is important and I make sure I have some "ME TIME" everyday.

I have learned to say "NO" and not feel guilty. If I don't take care of myself I can't help others. I have learned that every day is a precious gift and to use it wisely. I have joined Silver Sneakers. I even look forward to exercise and physical therapy which help me lower my high blood pressure, lower my high cholesterol and lessen my depression. I feel good after a workout even though I walk with a walker and am somewhat limited. The more I do, the more I want to do. I am pre-diabetic and hopefully my new healthy lifestyle will keep me from becoming diabetic. I also sleep better and have been able to decrease come of the medications I take.

I have learned to manage my time. I am only one person and there are only 24 hours in a day. Sometimes family, friends and other people need to understand that. I have learned that everything I used to think was a crisis is not a crisis. What I don't get done today will be there tomorrow. I go to bed knowing I have done the best I can and I sleep well. Every morning I get up and thank God for another day.

What I think of myself has become more important than what others think of me. In short, life is a lot more fun now. My philosophy of life now is: "Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is your future. Today is your life. Live it!" I don't know who said that but I believe it. Make today and every day a GREAT DAY !!!
