Weight-loss time, yet again
People often make New Year’s resolutions only to fumble them away like the Browns in the 1987 AFC Championship. All our intentions are good, this attempting to change our lifestyles for the better, for example, by trying to lose our extra weight. In this area, there are numerous weight-loss programs. Many people walk inside the Eastwood Mall or, my favorite, Howland Township Park. Everyone wants to be healthier. I would venture that very few of us are in top physical shape, no matter what age. If you are, that’s great. Some of us well-intended, stressed out, working folks are struggling with weight issues. So now is the time to do something about it finally, right? This was not supposed to happen to me, this awful weight gain. I’m not afraid to tell my story. Back in 2003, I felt bad about how I looked and felt. With the age of 40 rapidly approaching, I set a goal, around the New Year, that I would lose that burden from around my waist and feel so much better.
