2025: A Breath of Fresh Air

  Time for a new mission statement. My goal for 2025 was to lose 100 pounds by 12-31-25 but I've failed miserably. At some point I need to pick myself up and try. A realistic goal at this point is 50 pounds by 12-31-25, so that is where I will start. When will I start ? I don't know .. do I need a "starting point" ? I don't. Every day that I don't "start" just adds to my misery. I plan to just take each day as it comes and do what I can to move closer to where I want to be. Life has changed and I haven't been able to adapt just yet. Yesterday was Saturday and I spent the morning with Kim, Lauren, Michelle, Erin and Alyssa.

Not much. Spent July 4 at Rich & Barb's camp. It was a fun day. I spent Saturday, Sunday and Monday sitting on my ass watching tv and playing the slots. It was super hot so I had zero motivation to do anything, but I did manage to get some laundry done yesterday. I finishe...

We had fun and that's what it's all about. Thursday I went to Walmart because I was nearly out of cat food and needed a few other things.
