Almost a year ago, Ricky invited me to share my thoughts on being a "Healthy Quilter" here on TQS. At almost the same time, I started the journey to re-lose some of the weight that I had re-gained in the previous three years. I'm happy to say that though its taken almost a year, I've lost twenty-five pounds, and am back to ONE HUNDRED pounds lost!
Some of my tips for losing weight at an "advanced age?"
- Be patient. The weight just doesn't fall off of you like it did when you were twenty.
- Be sure to get enough protein. Protein can help keep you from being hungry.
- Give yourself grace. If you fail one day or one meal, its okay. Just continue on eating the healthiest food possible.
