You're As Young As You feel

I went into this weight loss adventure to FEEL good and get off all the obesity related drugs. I have MS; and RA; and fibromyalgia. With that said, schlepping an extra 100 pounds was the pits! I heard "lose weight and you'll feel better". Duh. I tried for years and would drop and gain and drop again, only to regain everything plus more.
So, having this done last March (2017), my goal was to lose the weight, lose the medications I had to take for high blood pressure and high cholesterol so when my 60th birthday arrived (last November), I would feel much better.
I accomplished all that and feel years (decades) younger. I am active at the gym with my Zumba classes and walking on my treadmill at home and now that summer is hitting us early here, I swim too. My rheumatoid arthritis won't go away but it's manageable with meds and I am doing SO much better in that department.
Two years ago we were moving into our new home and my husband took a picture of me (below). And I took another one 2 days ago. What a difference. A much happier, more youthful, and LIGHTER, me.
