I'm here looking for some motivational advice. I'm mid 60's had a very physical job until about 9 years ago..maintained a good weight. After I quit working I put more effort into exercise and watching portions and carbs. I did pretty well and managed to hold a good weight.
Last year brought some serious health problems for my DH which culminated in him basically bleeding out in the OR during a mitral valve replacement. His 70 old world class surgeon was able to bring him out of danger after a 9 hour surgery. After an 8 day hospital stay and a long recovery my DH is back to himself, even better than last year since he has a new mitral valve in place.
On my end I've gained weight enough that a lot of my pants don't fit or show bad muffin top, my butts too big and all that. I won't even step on a scale because I'm mad at myself. At many points since last June I've told myself, I need to exercise more, I need to eat less carbs, basically I need to start giving a crap before this gets totally out of control. The first of every month I say it , every time my pants feel tight I say it.. I say it in the shower, but I don't do it.
I've always been a pretty good self starter but just seem dead in the water right now. I have started doing my daily video workout , but it's not going to be enough to get me back to where I need to be... does anyone have any practical tips, just little things that might get me jump started on this journey.
I'm starting to post here to give myself some accountably and try to make this a better year for me then 2018.
