This is a beginning of a new effort to get back in shape and loose weight. I am making major progress in improving my health and fitness. After Ellen's funeral, I was barely able to walk around the block. Now I can keep up with a tour group that walked over half of Italy.
The one thing is that I gained more weight and now I must make an effort to get back to a weight that is easier to live with. I know I'll never have the body I did 40 years ago but I can get to a shape that I like better than the one I see in the mirror right now.
Last spring, I told one of my neighbors that I was trying to get back in shape and he said "Round is a shape". He obviously can live with that, but I can't. That phrase has become a local in joke since many of my friends seem to be able to live with it.
Getting up early and making regular blog postings is part of my program, along with diet and exercise and maybe a regular job. Or maybe not that extreme.
Stand by for progress reports.
About Me
- JIM LAMB
- Virginia beach, Virginia, United States
- After 40 years of marriage to a wonderful, talented and beautiful woman, I am now alone. As I retired from the US Navy, and then retired from several other companies and professions, now I am retired from being married. I guess i am also semi-retired from being a father. Since my children never obeyed me even when they were young, I really can't expect them to follow my advice now that they are all adults and some are even quite middle aged. So I am going to harass my six children by visiting them on a regular basis and foisting advce on them that I know they will ignore. Fortunately the is no need to retire from grandfathering. I just want more to spoil than the 7 I already have.
