congratulations again, wilma

I love going to the gym when it’s the fancy ones – not so crazy about the unfancy ones except the unfancy price that comes along with it, which is why I usually go with the unfancy one instead of having to mortgage a fancy one… er, got that all?

damn – I don’t know how I lost 13 pounds over the holidays. I would say that over the past couple years doing this I am getting a better handle on social eating, event eating, and not pigging out on holiday candy. I didn’t eat any Easter candy until Easter this year, which was really weird behavior for me. I also find myself turning down the bread basket at restaurants more easily and not eating the pasta or rice they pile onto my dish. I think healthy eating and fitness are skills you can develop. Practice makes perfect, perhaps?

I am 57 years old and grew up very thin but after 30 became very heavy. I am only 5’5″ and last month I was at 217 lbs. After following PQ’s blog and admiring her effort (and new look) I decided that the best thing was to follow her example–I started walking a mile almost every day (believe it was an effort the first couple of days) and eating healthy. This morning I weighed in at 206. Thank you, PQ

Your oldest fan, Judith
