My Journey

Day 1 - This is going to be a personal record of my weight loss journey.  I am committed to losing weight as of this day forward.  I refuse to do a drastic diet or give up some of the foods I love forever.  

I have had a few things happen just this week that have been firsts for me because of my weight. I am at the highest point I have EVER been at and I refuse to let this go on.  

I absolutely hate my body right now and I love myself more than ever so I am going to make this happen!  

Today is the first day of the rest of my life and I am going to make this life one I want to be living.  I have a goal of being down to a decent weight by my 50th birthday in 2021!!  

I am not publishing this out but it is here as something I am doing.  I am going to be recording my journey of life here so if someone wants to keep up with how things are going for me, they can check here.  

Now, for some rambling thought: 

I am getting fed up with Facebook and don't like the time I waste on there with little to no satisfaction anymore because I see the same peoples posts and usually those are a day or a week old.  Facebook is just not what it used to be and that was fun .. so, it's time to cut that part of my life down and spend more time on me!  So, if you are a Facebook friend and I am not there as much, don't think anything of it.  

Living Off the Grid is another subject I will be writing about now and then.  In April 2018 we were forced out of our house we had lived in for 29 years.  It's a long story and if you want more info, please feel free to contact me at dimon.cathy@gmail.com with a subject of "Living Off the Grid".  Anyway, we moved from a 1500 sq ft house to one that is just under 1000 sq ft.  My awesome hubby did some GREAT work to it before we actually moved in and we love our little house!  We are completely on solar or generator power so we have no house payment and no electric bill!!  That has helped so much in our overall security in this life we live.  We have a 2000 gallon water tank that supplies our water.  We have a propane hot water heater, propane cook stove and a propane heater so we are pretty well set up.  We also have a composting toilet so we have no sewer system to worry about in our cold winter temps!  Living off the Grid has been a great experience and we love it!  

Sled dogs!  We still have some ... 18 to be exact.  However, all of them except 2 are over 9 years old and either completely retired or semi retired.  I will write more about them in future posts as there are so many fun stories to share that I don't have time to write now.  

And lastly, I can't forget to mention that today is the "Gotcha Day" for our littlest member of the family, Millie came to us this day in 2014 and has lived a grand life since then.  She is a 15 pound dog that rules the roost and has us both wrapped right around her paw!  

Okay, if you want to follow this journey, I welcome you.  If you have any questions about this journey or our life off grid with sled dogs, please ask!!  It might give me a subject of my next post!!  

Happy Trails~
