Pizza pie, that's amore

Yes, I think I fell in love with Domino's pizza all over again. I have not had crackers, chips, ice cream, sugar in a drink, or candy this whole week. This evening, I saw a Domino's Pizza sign and succumbed. Half has been comsumed and the other half awaits for tomorrow. The new crust that Domino's is using has me sold...delicious.

It has been over 9 months or maybe a year since I had pizza. Friday evening, I ordered and picked up a mushroom pizza, telling myself it was better for me than double cheese, sausage, or sausage mushroom pizza. Those are the only kind I eat.

Domino's seduced me! Now, I will spend the night doing penance, eating lots of greens and fresh or frozen fruit. Tonight won't be my regular smoothie, just the fruit, plain and simple:apple, banana, grapes, cherries, mango, strawberries and salad greens.

My foot feels like it is broken. I must have done it while sleeping because it was okay when I took a nap and felt broken when I awoke. Hmmmm...what did I do in my sleep this afternoon?

I went in to Domino's and ordered the pizza and sat in the car to wait while I talked to a friend on the phone. For half a second I wanted to put the Domino's number into my cell to make ordering easier. You know, I could order pizza before I left Lowe's and it would be ready when I arrived. I put that thought away--Get the behind me, Satan.

First, I gain weight. Then, I eat pizza. And, any exercise (normal walking around) is out.

Anyone think this hundred pounds will ever come off?

Are you over 40? Very much overweight? Losing or have lost flexibility? Is your balance suffering? Are you female? (Exercise group for guys will be formed) Then, keep reading.

Okay, first of all, I am fat. There is no doubt about it. I am tired of friends saying, "Oh, you are not fat." or "You are not THAT fat!" or "Don't be so hard on yourself." "Don't call yourself names."

Let me tell you something. I am fat. I am that fat. My fat is what is hard on me! At this point, I have not developed diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol or any medical conditions related to being overweight...that I know of. But, the next medical test could change all that. How about being called diabetic for calling myself names? No thank you.

How old are you? I am 63 and feel young except when I try to move. I can still look for cars over my shoulder when I drive. But, slowly, I can feel that I am not as flexible as I was, as flexible as I should or can be.

Since I do not want to be anymore dependent than I must, any sooner than I must, I think it is time to do something about myself. Having a group to work with me will make this more fun.

Today, I am going to do something about what is happening to me. As I become less active due to injuries that helped me become fat, my joints are less flexible, my balance is off, walking and moving is more difficult.

I can do better than this. Are you determined to regain some flexibility, move more steadily, maybe lose a little weight? Do you want to meet and have some fun in the park?

This is not going to be intense! This is not going to involve fast movements. If you need that kind of action, look elsewhere. I do not subscribe to the notion "No pain, no gain." No sirree, I will not push myself to pain. No one will be encouraged to go any further than is comfortable.

If you need someone who is trained and certified, look elsewhere. I have no degree to back me up. I do have a need to move my body to be better at life. If you want to move slowly and surely toward better use of your body, let's meet. We can all bring a chair and a bottle of water. The chair is for sitting when we are tired. Sure, we can exercise from the chair! Water? Well, hydration is important.

So, if you are over forty and fat, get in touch. If you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or any condition, it is fine to come. If you need to check this out with your doctor, please do so. This will be just friends moving slowly in the park.

That is what this is all about. If you like, contact me at fatpeopleexercise@yahoo.com or leave a comment here.
