I have spoken about my grandmother who I called One Momma in a previous blog posts. One thing that she stressed that a lady did not talk about was her age or her weight. Today I am going to talk about both, sorry One Momma! Since October of 2014, I have been on the quest to return to the weight of my 20's. I was told by both of my doctors that I would not be able to do it at the age of 54. They discussed that I was healthy and that weight gain was normal for a middle age lady and my response to both of them that, "I am supposed to just be fat and happy, I think NOT!" Don't tell this girl that she can not do something, it will only make me want to do it more! I have lost 25 pounds doing it the "Kay Way."
Here is all I did differently.. I cut out sugar, I cut out carbs, and I still drank wine with dinner! I only work out on Saturday and Sundays and I lift hand weights while my bath water is running Monday-Friday. Sounds too easy? Give it a try! See if the Kay Way will work for you! Started out at 163 pounds and I am down to 138 and heading to 132! Watch me go! Below are pictures of me from age 20 to age 55.

Here I am trying on my belt that I bought in Florence in 1985 and it FITS!!!!
For all you out there that don't think you can get your weight back.. YES YOU CAN!! Don't listen to your doctors. I feel lighter, younger, and much happier! You can tell by the way that I kick my heels up in my blog that I am feeling quiet spiffy!
For dinner last night I had salad with grilled chicken, apples, onions,
celery, and white cheddar cheese!
I love this song by Michael Buble! He is so amazingly talented!
