Never "blogged" before so let me tell you about myself. I am 58 and for the past 10 years I have been taking care of my Dad. He is 92 with dementia. He had polio as a child. He used to walk with a brace and cane but once he started to fall it was time for a scooter. My Mom died in 1986. Dad never remarried.

iIt is not as bad as it sounds. Dad can be quite amusing and I will go into that another time.

Since I don't pay rent but by food for the house I decided 4 years ago to hire a trainer. I was doing great. Finally got under 200 from 286. Got the picture with my unmanicured toes to prove it. 

Pressure got to me and I sabotage myself. You will see when I weigh in.
