Thanks Vera, Charles, and P for your posts!! Vera, I have cut out all sweets (my downfall) and any fried foods. I am eating more fruits and veggies. I try to get to the gym 5 days a week but if I can’t, I take a walk around the pond right across the street from my home. I truly started to put on weight when I became a CG. Sitting in front of a machine all day and not eating right, drinking a lot of soda, and not exercising put on the pounds. I am going to go to the weight watchers meeting on Monday night. I am doing it online but I think that it would be of a big help to go to the meetings. Vera, Charles and P, thanks for your support and kind words. Yesterday was a fun day. My Mom and I went to 2 holiday craft sales. One was at the school and one was at a church. We both found some Christmas gifts and at a good price and they are homemade! The church had a homemade cookie sale and they looked delicious. I walked right by them. It was hard!! I am making some cookies for Christmas. I am going to reserve my sweets (only a few) for Christmas. Today I am going to go through my Christmas decorations. I have too many. I am going to give half to my Daughter. All in all, life is good. I am happy for the most part. I am getting used to living alone. I see my Mom everyday and I am seeing things differently concerning our relationship. She seems like she has aged a lot this year. She is getting my forgetful and confused. I think it is just old age. My Sister has even commented on it. I just want us to enjoy each other’s company and do things together as long as we can. We play card games and have lunch or dinner together regularly. I help her do things when she will let me as she is so independent. She walks on the treadmill about 15 mins. and waits for me to finish my workout. At least she is going and getting some exercise. I will miss her dearly when she is gone and I don’t want to have any regrets. She is even thinking of going with me after Thanksgiving to stay 3 days in the city with my Daughter and Grandson. She loves shopping malls and we have none here. So, things are better between us. Sorry for the long post. Take care everyone!
