About Me
I am in my fifties, live alone, except for two Canine companions,(THREE as of October 25,2009.) Mai-Li,the one pictured,has the same problem I do--always wants to have something in her mouth!! I figured if she needed to lose (according to the vet), I most definitely did.
Why I Want To Get In Shape
It's a health issue. With a history of stroke and diabetes in my family--although I was lighter about 6-7 years ago--thanks to the passage of time, a non-traditional work schedule, and just simply throwing in the towel, when I started, I weighed about 45 lbs. more than I did then. I would also like to eliminate taking blood pressure medication.
On a positive note, my mom and dad are both living and in good health, just some age-related limitations. Mom is 93 and dad will be 83 on Thanksgivng Day. They are careful about what they eat and both exercise and swim almost every day. If I can get myself down to a normal weight for my height, I certainly have the genetic possibility to be around for many more years.
