Excited!

My New Year's Resolution was, for one, to get healthy.  For two, to clean my messy house.  So I cut down on my portions and lost at least 25 pounds.  I have 50 more to go.  I'm into it.  Yesterday, I joined Planet Fitness through a program that I get for free through my Medicare Advantage plan.  The program is called Silver Sneakers.  So I had a choice of a free membership or the black card membership which is only going to cost me a one-time a year payment of $41 and $13 monthly.  I used their massage chair!  Ah!  I didn't workout because something wasn't going through with my account.  Later, I got a text from a classmate that I tracked down for our reunion and not only is she coming to the reunion but she wants to make a donation.  I wrote to the committee and they were coming up with different ideas.  Then I told them about joining the gym.  One girl got excited and said that she needs a gym buddy and is looking into it today.  Cool!

That’s very exciting! It always good to have a workout buddy. And going to gym is awesome. Every little step helps. I find for me half the battle in past was consistency. So getting past that even in bad days is a step forward.

Thanks serenity! I am in the area twice a week to visit my Aunt who is now in the nursing home part of the rehab so I will just make a third day of it. I am very out of shape. It's probably about 6 years since I walked with my best friend for exercise. I am 64. My best friend is 8 years younger than me and very healthy. It was hard to keep up with her. I went out on disability on January 19, 2019 and have basically been laying on my couch ever since. I don't care if it is October, I plan to work on my New Year's Resolutions. Yesterday my brother complimented me and said he could really see my weight loss. Hallelujah!

Thanks bill! I had 2 dates with a guy from POF, a year apart. He was very nice and respectful. After our second date, I didn't hear from him for 2 weeks and then he wrote and asked how my hooters were doing. I had a flashback of another jerk I had a relationship who was ignorant and masturbated over the phone before our first date. So I never responded to the POF guy. Eventually I hid my account and it was shut down. I've seen Mary's posts. Talk about scammers, my best friend and I were doing the personals in the paper in 1995. We discussed our dates. One day I went through all the ads and left messages for 2 guys. Not only were they the same guy, but he also went by a third name and had been on a date with my best friend.
