I guess I’m supposed to feel old, however old feels, today. My elder son celebrated his fortieth birthday. Since I was 25 on the day he was born, that means I am 65. 65 just doesn’t compute. Sure I hurt physically; back pain, some pain in my shoulder, but I hurt physically when I was 34 and 63. The fine print seems to be finer and a bright light when reading is my friend.
This hasn’t been a day about feeling old. I went to Weight Watchers and learned I lost 5.4 pounds (2.49 kg) since last week. I started out earlier in June weighing 213 lbs (15 stones 3 lbs, 96.6 kg). I am following their program, not doing my “version” of it. Their program is working for me. Now I am at 206.8 lbs, (14 stone 11 lb, or 93.8 kg). I went for my 4 mile power walk and I felt drained afterwards, but feel great now.
So life is good. As the saying goes, life isn’t about having what I want but wanting I have.
Congrats on the weight loss! I’ve had success with Weight Watchers, too. And those numbers are just numbers. You’re only ever as old as you feel.
Thanks, Jen.
Congratulations on the weight loss from here too! It’s funny to watch our kids getting older, isn’t it? My daughter is “only” 32, but still, it feels like i must be really to have a child that age. i can still remember when i thought being 32 was old.,,
