I hadn’t talked to my mother and sister in quite a while.  Yeah Yeah I know shame on you for not calling your mom more often.  It’s just been a bit busy at work etc..  Anyway I have continued to work on losing weight and exercising more.  Haven’t started to tackle quitting smoking yet but have cut back quite a bit.  The funny thing is that When I was talking to my mother this evening and told her I was trying to get myself in better physical condition she mentioned that her and my sister had both been going to weight watchers. 

Now I’m not one to spend tons of money to help me lose weight or get in shape.  I used to be fairly athletic and know what it takes to get it done, I just lack the will power.  Anyway, mom informed me that over the last few months she had lost over 20 lbs and my sister has lost 35 pounds.  I was quite impressed and had always thought weight watchers was a joke or money grabbing scam, but it seems to be working pretty good for them.  They said the biggest advantage to going to the weight watchers facility was having someone else help to motivate them to lose weight.  So if you looking for alternative to help keep you motivated about losing weight or getting physically fit you might benefit from a program like weight watcher or other health and fitness program.

I decided to make lacking will power to help motivate me to fix a few things that I believe that are wrong with my life.  If you couldn’t tell I lack will power to do many of the things I would like to accomplish in the next few years.  Hopefully writing down my thoughts, information I find , and hopefully the progress towards achieving my goals will help me to over come this lack of will power.  I have several bad habits that I would like to quit including smoking and biting my nails.   I also lack the will power to live a heathier life.  I am an over weight , out of shape , fat middle aged man about to drop dead of a heart attack any day.  Well maybe not that bad but if you listen to my wife my extra weight, smoking and lack of exercise are sure to kill me any day.  I’d like to use this forum to put my self back on track to healthy living by loosing some wieght, starting an excercise program and improving my overall health.  Yeah I know this all sounds like a lot to accomplish just by blogging about it , but hopefully by experssing myself and presenting information to others about health, exercise, bad habits and obesity I might gain some will power to actually accomplish my goals.
