Day 1

This is the first day of my Simplify life.  The day started out just like any other vacation day....slept in, did some household chores, and had the fun yearly checkup!!  My doctor explained how to make changes in my weight issues, as I will call them issues!!  Simplify!!!  Start with a PURPOSE, be PATIENT, and have a PLAN!!!  So, here is hopefully to be my journey as I SIMPLIFY to SIZE!!  My purpose is to be healthier and lose weight....not because I am FAT, but so I can run with my kids and I can enjoy life more actively.  To be patient is the easy part.....I have been this size for several years, so I can be patient!  The plan.....start out slow, small, and steady.  Take the stairs an extra time each day, have a piece of fruit whenever I get a sweet craving, think about posture, posture, posture...make everyday COUNT!  So, back to that Dr. appt....had blood work this morning....possibly going to see a orthopedic specialist for those achy, stiff joints that I have had for, well as long as I can remember at the old age that I am of only 47!  This is not the way I want to live my very, very long life....so SIMPLIFY it is!  Simplify my size, simplify my home, simplify my life...Let's start today with the house....time to switch rooms around....do some painting and throw out, donate, or yard sale numerous items.  Everyday take 1 hour and throw out, donate, or yard sale items!!  Breathe deeply and move on~  Since I am new to this "BLOGGING" thing, please be patient, as I mull thru my SIMPLIFY!
