Just Do It

Good afternoon! Sunday blog! Today I want to share what weight loss and walking has done for me, my overall well being! My mental state and physical strength! Even though bipolar is controlled by the proper meds, walking can take care of any depression! After failing at every weight loss choice and spending thousands of dollars, gastric bypass became my choice to get eating under control! I am not saying I do not make mistakes! Human! Recovery helped me see things in a different light! Two ways to see things! Two ways to choose! The Nike slogan has always been a favorite of mine! Nike shoes were my favorite! They are just to narrow to walk that many miles! Old feet need more room! My diet is not always healthy, but the gastric bypass keeps my intake, way down! Journaling about my changes everyday is very helpful also! I love reading back over and seeing changes! Most of you know, if I have nervous energy, I bake! Walking has become my #1 passion! When I cant go for whatever reason, my day just is not the same! Then poems, it was just for fun, until I started to feel a release of emotions! So, no matter how your decision comes about, “Just Do It”! You know exercise is really part of your life when different obstacles come along, like joint replacement! I have had three! When it was time, right back at it! I was dedicated to walking in the city, you do what you have to do! But, it is nothing compared to my morning time at beautiful Maumee Bay State Park! The earlier the better! I love being the only one out there! I said before, I am not an expert! When I compare the past to now, I was just buried in grief and pain! No clue on how to move past it! Burying myself deeper and deeper! I do not know how I would have coped with Denny’s illness, if I had not gotten the help I needed to cope with life! The story we have been given! Start small and build! God bless your decisions! I thank God for helping me with mine! Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!❤️🤗🤗❤️
