Thin again – Begin again

The future depends on what we do in the present
Mahatma Gandhi
There was an old man called Michael Finnegan

He grew fat and then grew thin again

Then he died and had to begin again

Poor old Michael Finnegan, begin again

When you are small – by that I mean is not very tall - every extra kilo of weight shows in the form of flabby flesh rolls of fat, so you try very hard to trim down and lose it – things happen and it reappears – you work hard at it again  – then slacken off and ‘Hello Again’ those extra kilos are back again lol  For me over these past few years it seems like a never ending yo-yo situation
Compared to others I don’t have a lot to lose but with a family history like mine and a GP advising you to lose it the benefits of not being over weight are very important.  
It was the reason I started this blog a few years ago – http://stillwaters-cathy.blogspot.com/2006/01/day-1-beginning-of-new-me.html 
And looking back again I know I can do it with help –  http://stillwaters-cathy.blogspot.com/2009/05/thanks-for-compliments.html
Now this photo is of a pathway I often walk down – nice and straight (well sort of) then theres a bit of a bend and then it carries on in the same direction straight down the road – sort of like this journey of mine   
Except there seem to be more and more twists and turns along the way

Which means I am going to have to Make Good Food choices by not bringing temptation into the house – Exercise on a regular basis by using my Leisure Centre membership frequently and Walking at every opportunity – and also Use Skills Learned in the past maybe even Revisit the learning centre (WW).

We live in a beautiful area with nice leafy suburbs around about so theres no excuse for me not to be out and about

Can you see how this path straightens out as its going up the hill, well thats where I’m going. 

Onward and Upward………..or should that be downward lol

Photos will enlarge with a click
Oh and the quote at the top – how true it is

One I have to think of and live by if I want to return to a healthier me

The future depends on what we do in the present.
