Can you find me a Doctor?

I am in a despairing hole. A hole filled with food, dust,clutter,fat,laziness and no motivation. Most days I feel like I will never be able to climb from this hole. Where did this hole come from? Well, I dug it MYSELF! If I knew of a Modern Day Frankenstein I would perhaps have him do some quick surgery and bolt my head to a new body. One filled with motivation. Motivation could help me climb this cluttered hole.

I have dug some pretty good sized holes before but this one feels like the Grand Canyon of Missouri! I don't know how long, or if, I can find my way to the top. I blame it on winter, stress, finances, kids, dogs, pizzas, laziness, being 57....heck, I have every excuse in the book! Where, or where can I find a modern day Frank Maker? I would have him take this head of mine and transport it to another body. One filled with motivation and will power.

The picture, on the left is what I dream of. I have never been a runner but I know, for a fact, that runners are motivated, healthy and not lazy. It takes dedication to run each day. I have bad knees, so I guess I have a good excuse....but the fact is, I have never been a runner!

I love walking but find that hard to do also. My tread mill got plenty of use a couple of years ago and I know for a fact that it works. I know that if I ate healthier and lost a few (dozen) pounds I would be able to walk with not as much pain. So Dr. Frank, if you are reading this, this is the body I want. A body of a runner!

Now, for the picture on your right. (Sorry I am new at this and got my pictures off track..I am learning and now know what I did wrong)

EAT HEALTHY FOODS! That is a biggie for me. I love all things that are not healthy. I do love salads but they sure go good with spaghetti, cheese bread, hot wings and so on. I also say each year, just like my sister, that we just can't wait to have a garden and fill up on fresh veggies! Well, that last a few weeks. We also say we could live off of cucumbers and vinegar and sliced tomatoes ...yeah, right! Sometimes I wish I had the life style of a vegetarian ...of course donuts and chips would come under that category! Speaking of eating healthy, now is not the weekend to do so. Super Bowl Weekend! My husband and I are not big fans but that is a good reason to pig out on Sunday...it's the American thing to do! So Dr. Frank, give me taste buds that only enjoy healthy foods. Give me taste buds that hate chocolate, pizzas, donuts and chips!

So folks, I am still at the bottom of this hole trying to figure out a way to get to the top and escape. I know Dr. Frank is not going to come knocking at my door and neither is Bob Green. I need help. I need motivation and I just got to find those things on my own. I dug this hole, now it is up to me to climb on out and celebrate a healthy lifestyle!

Have a great Super Bowl weekend everyone and tune in again if ya wanna know...The thoughts of a Family Warden.
