getting started, I guess

Well, here I am. And I have absolutely no idea what I should write here.
No, that's not true as I know why I'm here and what I expect from myself.  I need to put my money where my mouth is, so to speak.  I have always said I could lose any amount of weight if I put my mind to it and now is the time to prove it. 

I just weighed myself, although it is 11:30 AM, and the scales says I weigh 223.4.  Not my heaviest weight ever but I don't want to be there again, ever, so on with this challenge to myself.

My middle name should be procrastination as that is what I continue to do with anything that I want, so I know intimately the definition of insanity:
always doing what you have always done but expecting a different outcome.  Well, this time I AM going to have a different outcome if it kills me.

I am diabetic Type 2, I take insulin and other meds, I am 66 years and a widow twice over.  I am in a long distance relationship with a man I have known over 40 years.  I really wasn't looking for love again but then he contacted me again and here we are.  He lives in Texas and I am in Oregon, but you can fly kinda cheap if you watch the dates in advance through SouthWest Air.

I want very much to lose weight and I need to because of the diabetes.  I have been successful on the 6Week Body Makeover plan, but have gone off that due to just giving up I guess.   So now I'm ready to try again - gotta clean off my treadmill and I purchased an elliptical machine but gotta get it put together.  See, this is where the put off mechanism comes into play - will I ever get off this computer and out of this chair to get this done??
How about right now!!

Will post more later.

ps:  I actually live in Newberg.
