Wondering Into the Unknown... almost 40

So today I am looking at some health and wellness options at work and my uncle is currently very very ill in the hospital. I realize that the last few people in my family went out that way. Months in and out of a hospital and I dont want to live like that. My mom is already starting down that path and she is in her 60's. I am almost 40 and I wake up with aches and pains that I shouldnt have. So anyway the wellness plan at my new job has been so helpful and honestly a breaze to wantto do they help you earn points as incentives towards otherthings and you choose what and when you want to accomplish it. For the first time I find myself wanting to accomplish it. Today I decided to tow bird one stone analogy and they said have your jornaled a negative into a positive? Well this is me doing so but with me very me twist to it lol. Like sure I will do that but make it fit into starting a blog something I have been planning on doing a while now so that I can connect things with other things so they flow much better in my life. So the negatives if I keep going I know how my life could end in a hospital in and out for days or months because I and only I let my body get that way. The positive I make changes real changes now that could finaly alter that outcome. I want to live like I have never thought I did before. I want to keep traveling into my old age. I want to get that boat with my hubby and sail the world. I want to see my daughter and be there for anything she needs not questioning my health and if I can or can not. I justwant to say Yes to me being a better version of me every single day! Wow this really does feel good

Twenty Eight Years and Counting...

I am almost twenty nine years old and for as far back as I can remember I have always been overweight. I am a caregiver for the elderly, a mother, a wife, a friend, a sister, and aunt and so much more. In knowing that anyone can understand why over the years I have become (as stated in medical terms) morbidly obese. I currently weight ___ and I am finally 100% ready to change that. After seeing the toll that just age alone takes on your body through my elderly clients, as well as the endless medications and doctors visits I know that if I am one of the privileged few to live as long as my they I need to take action now. Also after recently attending my friends 36th birthday I come to discover that she is now in the hospital undergoing mayor testing and is on an abundance of medications which is life changing. Not your typical illness but still just another jolt that changes my own mind about me and my current and future health.
