Progress Not Perfection

I am loving retirement.  I have time to do everything I enjoy.  I am coming into my own.  Better late than never.  For some, change is slow.  Late bloomers flowers last longer.  Wow DS has been the catalyst for almost two years.  I stopped smoking.  I never thought that it would be possible but I have done it.  I can't believe it.  I still grab for candy instead of cigarettes.  I do not have the weight under control.  But where I am is being aware aware aware.  That is all I can do for now.  Every time I fail on a new diet I spiral downward.  The weather is now beautiful in New York. Sold my car and I walk and use PT everywhere.  So I am making every effort to move my body more.  Stretches in the morning.  Touching toes even if it is not to the floor yet.  Every day is a little better.  I just can't give up.  By staying positive and not worrying so much about failure and not wanting to do it.  I just say what I do do it ok for today.  I know some think I am in denial.  Well if I am in D'Nile it is a beautiful place and that is where I am today.  Luv, Ree.
