Absolutely welcomed!

March challenge day 31.

SW 159 CW 152. I was trying to get to 150, but I'm okay with this loss.

• What defines my personal success: Perseverance. Not giving up, no matter how many times I was knocked down. I'm a closet runner. Even at my highest weight, I still walked and jogged as much as I could. My goal is to complete a run\walk this summer.

well Well March is marching out and away for us all. My biggest success March 1st 267 pounds, March 26th- don't own a scale so I weigh at my PCP and Surgeon only- 234.6, a lot of it is the almost stall I was in while on TPN and with a PICC line in, but after watching wistfully while everyone else was losing quicker Frustr8's. Fantastic Fantasy has come true. And I am proud of ME, now that I believe again in me I am stepping up the few varieties of exercise I can don with two artificial knees, 2 shoulders next on the repair table, strangely the hips I would have,predicted have stayed in better shape, but I can do water therapy, pace my walking, considering putting out a garden as Ohio warms up, but Tomkitten and PCP groan this prospect but I want me a bike, yeah old Mom, Foolish Mom, but I live ,6 mile or 1 km,whichever you want to look at it, from a very nice city park called Riverside, figure I could ride there, rest a piece and then bike home. After both of them saying Exercise more, they want to" rain on my parade" ?But April may bring Power instead of showers, let's see if I can keep a loss going! May not be so spectacular, but every ounce gone is gone! Never inviting them to return, so let's see what the next 30 days bring!

30. My pets, my family, my friends.

31. I measure my success by how I feel about myself.

March 39, 30 & 31:

A time i quit when i wish i had not was. Not completing a fine arts degree in school. I went on to a different path later but i still want that MFA ?

3 most valuable things: faith, family and creativity

I define personal success by feeling ok about the decision and outcome
