Like Mother, Like Daughter

I'll keep this blog simple.  On Monday, I begin a 6-week challenge which involves eating right and working out.  When I was working out a year ago, I was much happier and had more energy--yeah, yeah, yeah...it's true what "they" say.

I took "before" pictures, which even though my last post, I said I was going to post more photos, this time, I must refrain.  So, as I mentally prepare, I am brought back to a moment with my mother.

We were looking at pictures when she first retired and she was looking at a photo and said, "Who is that fat woman in this picture ?"  I've reached that point.  I hate having my picture taken, but cant wait for my first selfie after the six...12..18 weeks, but I haven't reached retirement age.

I'm committed and want to live longer than my mother; I want my grandchildren to remember me, as I remember my grandma.  I want to be the grandmother, my mother was to my children and my grandma was to me.

YOU and THEY are the greatest motivator on this journey.

Thanks for always being there for me.
