Loose 20 pounds...and KEEP it off!

Now that the new year has begun I can see that this past year has been tough and wonderful at the same time, but my body has taken the toll for both. I am maybe heavier than ever, and need to lose some weight. I feel awful, which is the main reason for wanting to lose it, and I am fast approaching 40, so need to really take care of this soon. I went to the gym last night, that’s a start, and have been trying to eat some hearty salads for lunch so I don’t overeat at work. I have been generally feeling depressed, and am thinking the weight and loss of control over my life has created this feeling. I will go to the gym again on Thursday, and will see how things go from there. It feels like such a production though, and it is below zero temperatures in Amsterdam at the moment, which does not help with my tendency towards procrastination! I will hope for the best and try. That’s about all I can manage at this point.
