Forty first thing: The next thing that makes me happy is one that I wouldn’t imagine being on the list when I started this series on my 59th birthday last May.
Weight Watchers makes me happy.
On December 28th, when Oprah spoke to me (and millions of others) I heard her message “if not now when?” and it resonated. Loving to cook and eat with the additional freedom to travel since retiring 2 years ago, I’ve seen the number on my scale inch upwards. I was having so much fun that I’d become complacent. With 2016 on the horizon, I got online and signed up that evening.
Purchasing my FitBit has been integral to my acceptance that I’ve been living like a sloth.
Thank you Oprah for getting my attention, to Weight Watchers for an awesome program and great tools and to Spence, your encouragement and support are endlessly appreciated.

Congrats on your weight loss! I’ve had my Fitbit for almost two years and love it! Sounds like you’ve found what works for you! 🙂
I ❤️ my FitBit too. I really think it has been a huge part of my success. Great to be aware of movement and work towards better health.
Very true!
You go girl! Healthy living is always a good thing. This is the season when I have the most trouble staying active. I just want to curl up under a blanket with a cup of tea and a book (very sloth-like😉). I am hoping with the warmer weather on the horizon I will get my bottom moving a little more. Congrats on your success!
Thank you Nancy! It is challenging in the winter to stay active since I’m not a skier or ice skater (walking without falling on ice is challenge enough). I love the couch snuggle with tea and a cat on my lap with a blazing fire is so alluring. I do feel really good about committing to being healthier and appreciate your kind words.
I really enjoy your reading your posts. Have a lovely day. 🙂
Thank you Lynne, that means a lot.
I’m glad you are doing well. I try to eat well but I need to exercise more. I bought a Misfit Shine that I don’t use anymore because it didn’t increase my activity level. 🙁
I hear that Charles! I’ve always been adverse to exercise so I’m hoping to remain on track this time. 😊
I am so happy for your success! Nothing ever stops you once you make up your mind to do something! It makes me smile thinking of you dancing it off in the kitchen.
Thank you so much. I’ve always loved to crank up tunes when doing housework so this is a good excuse to dance and increase my steps. Every once in awhile Spence joins me, for a few minutes……💃🏼
