As promised and almost forgotten as predicted, I revisited the resolutions made at the beginning of the year. Resolutions are now named 'life goals' in the anticipation of not making any next year- as those goals will be an ongoing process. Of those, one has been attained- to a degree. Since turning forty, my skin has acquired the redness as advertised by age. Never one to keep a stritct skin regime, I decided to step up the maintenance. A daily routine of cleansing and moisturizing along with the application of a base makeup has helped reduce the total area of redness. With the accomplishmnet of one, I am setting out to check another off the list.
Over the weekend I took Emma and Shannon to a waterpark where two older brothers and respected families had a suite. The oldest brother and I discussed heritage and what to expect as we age. Donning a swimming suit the 'writing on the wall' was visible as I watched family members swim and float and climb the stairs to the top of the slide. Yesterday at a doctor's appointment to have some potentially cancer causing skin blemishes removed I weighed in at the magic number of 209 pounds with coat and shoes. Really- how much can a coat and a pair of shoes weigh?! Not much as I found out when I got home and weighed again. Why the word magic? I had no intention of starting this goal until after spring break vacation with warmer weather ensuing and now- well now is the time. As this goal will take a considerbale amount of time to accomplish expect weekly posts.
