A New Beginning!
Yesterday, May 22, 2011, Jon and I joined a gym. It was time. To give a little history, last October I went to a weight loss specialist who told me that if I didn’t lose weight I would be lucky to live five more years! I was all ready, mind made up, TOTALLY motivated to dedicate to this program full throttle. It consisted of a very strict diet and exercise regimen that would last for four months and I lasted all of two weeks. It was working. I was feeling GREAT – better than I had in YEARS! I lost 8 pounds in three days. And I quit. It was very costly and I got completely overwhelmed. Financially, we just couldn’t swing it. I was disappointed, but I quickly got over it and went back to my old lifestyle. Fast forward a few months to May 18, 2011. I was told by my doctor that the walls of my heart are thickened. This is obviously not good…at all. I HAVE to lose weight and get in shape. I do not want to die and leave my baby without his Mommy. I can not and will not let this happen!!!!!!!!!! This blog is dedicated to him, my sweet Zachary. I am hoping that it will be a great tool to keep me accountable, motivated, and SANE! =) Please feel free to leave comments that could help me on my journey to losing not only my weight, but also my low self-esteem, my lack of energy and hopefully other health issues including my High Blood Pressure and Asthma. I know I can do this. I HAVE to do this. It will not be easy. Please pray for me. Thank you in advance for walking alongside me on this journey! HERE WE GO! =)

I have had a membership to the Y for over a year with the intent of actually going... turns out i just drop the kids off and have gone myself less than a handful of times.:( and that was when i first got it..But i think its a great idea to have a blog to hold yourself accountable... Good job and keeep up the hard work it will so be worth it..:) and i will keep you in my prayers..:)
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing and can do this! One thing that helps me is remembering that every day is a new day. I'm here with you! And I am so proud of you!
ReplyDeleteYou'll do great! Remember Tim 140lbs ago? Everyday just put one foot in front of the other. You didn't gain it in a day, it won't come off in a day. We'll be here to push you! - It's actually Ang!
ReplyDeleteYou started your new beginning on my birthday! What a wonderful gift! I love you. In return for your gift to me. I will begin being "serious" about weight loss. I have been dabbling. I believe you can do it. Take it one day at a time and don't set goals that are too far out of reach. I was told to set a big goal but focus on mini goals. I love you! I will be watching your progress and HOPEFULLY letting you know mine.
