One Step

one step was a challenge,one step was a feat
it took all i had just to get up on my feet.

every day I i tried again
with faith,perseverance, I would win

one step turned into two,two into four
before long I could walk out the door

out the door, down the hall
sit and rest on that wall

up again walk some more
this is my life im fighting for

walk to the pool,go for a swim
so i will be healthy and trim

my journey is not over,but i am well on my way
it started with one step,I walk 2 miles today

no stopping to rest,no out of breath, no lagging behind
lots of inner pride,and peace of mind

for those of you struggling to,
take that first step-if I can do it
So can you!

Hi Penny hope you had a nice weekend
Wondered when you were going to write something again
Nice job girl you are such an admirable example of hope and determination
I bet you feel younger and healthier every day
But i know it can't be easy
Bless you sweet lady !

Just weight in today . . . .

Hi Penny
Its good you want to be healthy. Remember God loves you as you are
and you have a pretty face and you seem to have a nice personality.
Most of us like to eat and its nurturing for us to eat and so much of the food on offer today is full of calories .
I find that one thing which works for me if I don't want to put on
weight is to eat rice cakes and bananas as snacks .

Hope your weight loss goes well

Thank you Goddependant, I thank God daily for my blessings. Changing the way one eats, is never easy, When I started this journey, I started by changing one thing at a time. Now I eat mainly high protein, low carb. lots of fresh veggies. I don't usually do rice cakes,and avoid most pasta and breads, due to the carb. content. and have to watch how much fruit, because of the sugar content,. I can manage about half a banana in one sitting. Too much of anything sweet, even if its a natural sugar, makes my stomach a little queasy since i have had the surgery. I'm glad to hear that your making healthy choices for you.
