What do we do with it? I was watching Oprah this afternoon. As most of us know she has once again gain weight and this year says she is going to get it back off and do her best to live her best life. I thank heavens don't have a weight problem. Now I am far from being thin but I am comfortable with what I weigh now.


I got to thinking though what can I do to live the best life for me?  I do watch what I eat for the most part I have high chlorestrol and take medication for it. A genetic problem for me but the meds and being careful about food helps. I could probably do better though. I can drink more water and less diet coke. This will be a hard one for me I do love my diet coke but I can probably cut back. I need to exercise more. The treadmill at my house is collecting dust lately. I have been parking farther out in the parking lot of a store so I have to walk more to get inside. Hard to do when Dh is with me he has very bad knees and needs to do something about it but so far he is just not willing to yet.


I am learning to be happier with who I am and getting more used to the "aging" process. Do you ever really get used to the changes in the mirror????LOL. Noticed the other day I am getting that neck waddle thing. Ok so I am getting closer to 60 but really now do I need this? Guess I do. I have another year until I am 60 come one now. LOL. Ok Ok like I said I am working on it.


So I am going to work on my well being this year. See if  I can't just be happier, healthier and learn to worry less and enjoy life more.


How about you ladies? What will help you " live your best life?"

Hi Suz


Getting myself to exercise is one of my biggest problems. I am active and not one to sit aournd too much.
