Getting Old...Or Just Feeling Old

Today I have a doctor's appointment.  I have a 7 point list of things that I need to talk to him about.  I need a list because I have a terribly bad memory.  I'm only 42.  I can't imagine how badly broken and worn out my body will be at 52. 

On the up side, I lost 4 pounds over the last two or three weeks.  Four pounds is four percent of the first ten I have to lose to potentially (hopefully) feel healthy again.  (It's only a tiny percentage of the total but I'm not saying that out loud.) 

And at least I am keeping a sense of humor about it.  By the way, I just added one more think to my list of maladies - now there's eight.

  2. Best of luck! Remember, the first and last ten are the worst pounds to shed. So, once you get through those- you'll be on the right track. Keep your head up and yourself laughing; it's the best way to go about it :)

  3. Woot on the weight loss. That memory thing ... omg. It's always playing with me. You start realizing, have to write things down. There are things I love about being 40, but the body does some strange things. I found yoga to be a fountain of youth.

  5. Thanks everyone for all the support. Oopsy - 4 pounds is 40 percent (not 4 percent) of the first ten pounds. That's much better....

    As for my memory issue - I forgot my purse on the way to the doctor. I swear I had it. I also forgot breakfast. But then I remembered to write down memory issues on my list of maladies.

    @Murees - thank you. I actually have one - I moved them to an awards page but apparently never finished it. :)
