One Thing

I'm still focusing on attempting a good night's sleep. It's really a matter of getting to bed at a decent time. I fall asleep just fine once I'm actually in bed. I just need to get myself there. It's harder with hubby gone.
I was thinking today about how I need to be doing better with exercising and stretching (specific stretches from the chiropractor). I will do what I can to fit it in. But, I know if I start focusing on those things - I'll lose what I might have with my baby step goal of getting to bed 'on time'.

Sleeping Habits

I've decided to start with sleeping habits. I'm going to try my best to get a good night's rest. I've been working on it. I've only made a little progress. But, I'm just trying to do one step at a time...even if those steps are two steps forward and one step back. I also decided today that if I'm about to fall asleep anyway because I'm exhausted during the day - I'm going to 'cave' and take a nap. In the end it will be much more productive and definitely a happier life journey for all involved.

Current Status

I should probably start with saying that I just keep gaining weight the last little while. Some people work on losing weight - my current efforts are on NOT gaining more weight. I'm trying to do more to have balance in my life and take care of myself. My husband passed away this past fall. Being a cancer caregiver for years took its toll. I don't think I realized it at the time. But, now it's time for me to get back to feeling 'human'. Ok. So, it's not like I feel like an alien.:} It's just that it's time, like I said before, for me to be taking better care of myself. I'm hoping my efforts will bring me to a place where I can feel whole and healthy.

The Journey

This blog will be partly my story and partly observations in general. Although, it might morph into other things. We'll see. It just seems that as I start to think about weight there are so many other topics that come to mind as well. I just need a place to put it all. Weight has to do with how we feel, what we look like, how others see us, how we see ourselves, physical health, emotional health, habits, and the list goes on. I'm also guessing that people have different perspectives and experiences with weight and how it affects their lives. It should be an interesting journey.

What About Weight?

There have been a variety of topics swirling around my head as I think about the fact that I'm overweight and there are certain things that go along with that. It's possible it started with some of my experiences with buying clothes lately. Or, maybe how some of the clothes I have now used to fit well and now they don't. Maybe it's how people seem to perceive me. Maybe it's how I see myself. Maybe it's thinking it's all in my own head. I'm thinking it might be a journey to explore the different thoughts and topics that have to do with weight...whether we think we have too much of it or too little...or maybe...we think we're right where we want to be.

Weight. What?

I've been thinking about this topic for a bit. It's been on my mind more lately than it has at any other time in my life. Maybe. I decided to have a separate place to write about it so other blogs will still be able to continue to have their purpose.
