Congrats Nicki! You are on the path to your goal. And I agree, I just like my clothes to fit well and to feel fit, not so worried about the scale. But there is always that number you want that floats around!

What’s a Herky?

Being healthy is the best way to look at things. It is a life style and once that is embraced, it is easier. People say “oh, you lost weight” and I generally respond “yes, over the course of two plus years.”

I have changed how I look at what I do and what I eat so the change is not just a weight loss but a life change.

I have some extra weight to lose and I am finally to a place where I actually would like to exercise and get into shape. I think a focus on being healthy is the best way to look at things. And the recipe for long term success because it is a life style change not a quick fix.

I don’t own a scale. I go to a friend’s to weigh myself. And I will try a herky later tonight. I think I can still do one.

Herky for Nicki! I cannot own a scale. It takes me to a very dark, very wrong place. But at least I know this about myself.

Thanks, Amber. It took me a long time to get to this point in my life. Couldn’t think about it when the babies were little. Too much on my plate then so I do understand.

Good for you!! That is so excellent!!

I can’t think about my weight right now. I have too many things on my plate to consider exercise. So, I eat healthy and hope it works for me!!

Thanks, Jane. Today I am flaking. It poured yesterday big time and now is snowing. I am worried about ice so am thinking an evening Rail Trail run even though I do not like it in the dark if the snow lets up, maybe an afternoon run here.

oops…that would be “think” about my weight.
