I've been absent from my blog for a while. Health issues, weight gain, and subsequent major surgery required me to focus elsewhere. But...I'm back! I've discovered something that many "mature" women have probably already known, and that is that fighting an imbalance in our hormones wreaks havoc on our metabolism, not to mention our relationships. I've never been one to over eat, other than on an occasional basis, and I am not sedentary, but as I got older, maintaining an ideal weight got harder. However, maintaining an ideal weight when we get older is more important than ever! Being overweight in our middle age is linked to dementia and a host of other ailments. I, for one, want to enjoy my "maturity," not spend most of it at the doctor's office.
So, beginning this Saturday, I will write about my progress toward returning to my ideal weight each week. It's been almost three months since my total hysterectomy, so I will take it slow and keep my weekly goals reasonable.
