I have decided that now is the time to get healthy. I want to be around along time for my kids. I want to lead a productive life and feel active and ready for what life throws at me. I talked Ky, Kris and Talon into starting a Biggest Loser contest with me. It will and has motivated me to get going. In 2005, I lost about 50 pounds, it felt great, but I never got below about 214. I want to get below 200 pounds. I would love to be at the weight I was even when I got married. Around 185. Eventually, I'd like to be at an even healthier weight. But for now, small goals, small goals!! So as of now, my goal is to make it to the 200 mark.
July 29, I returned from a wonderful summer in Oregon, I was leary to weigh myself, but when I stepped on the scale, I knew it would be depressing. I was right 240 pounds!! I'd gained back 25 pounds since my initial weight loss. At my last Dr. visit, I had blood work done and my cholesterol was high. I had a fasting blood sugar of 98, not to bad, but getting to the "watch" level. I made an appointment to see them after I got back from Oregon. I didn't want to go, so I cancelled the appointment and gave myself to the end of the year to do something about my weight. I must take off some pounds. I don't want to go on medication, and I don't want to develop anything worse. NOW IS THE TIME!! Plus, my NY's goal from Jan. 2010 was to lose 30 pounds and I so want to accomplish that by Jan. 1 2011. So, I am determined and want to blog my feelings in hopes that it will help me through the tough times. Wish me luck, but I know with God's help: All things are possible!! I will do this.
