Slowly Losing Still Results in Winning

Yes, the scales are ever so slowly going down, and my patience is being tested in a new way. However, because I have decided to keep on keeping on doing what 'is good for me', I am winning!

My clothes are not just fitting better, they are now looser. The exercise has made me feel stronger and more energetic. My balance has improved, and I can touch my toes! I can get down and up out of the floor with much less effort.

My blood sugar is staying in normal ranges. My blood pressure and pulse are much better. Last week I had blood work done and my cholesterol was normal!

Doing good things on a daily basis, results in positive benefits that would happen no other way. If you are facing something requiring patience, I encourage you to keep on keeping on doing what is good for you, and you too will be a winner.

Patience and Post Menopausal Weight Loss

I don't know why I was surprised. Perhaps I was hoping it was just an old wive's tale. Well, I am here to tell you from personal experience, that after menopause, metabolism soooooows down.

For several months now I have eaten very well. I have cut back considerably on salt, fat, sweets, and portion sizes. I have tested my blood sugar daily. I have consistently done Tae Bo three to four times a week. In all this time I have only lost 15 pounds. Before menopause I would have lost much more. Sigh.

Am I discouraged? In no way! In the next post I will share all that I am winning by losing!
