HEALTHY AND THIN IN 2010
Hello everyone! Remember me! I have gone back and read all my blogs over the last two years. I was really excited and ready for the challenge. For those of you new to Body Dimensions I began my journey to a healthier me on January 16, 2008. I weighed 351 lbs. Was on numerous medications and had numerous health issues: Diabetes, Asthma, High Blood Pressure, High Cholesterol, Back Pain and no energy at all. I was a mess!!!

I began working out with Gloria Trull at Body Dimensions and eating Living Lean Meals from L and L Catering. At the end of the first year I had lost 71lbs. I was down to 280. The year 2009 was not as successful in the weight loss category. However I did have other achievements. I am off all my medication except the high blood pressure meds, my cholesterol is down to 155, I have not had an asthma attack in nearly a year, I continue my cardio and weight training (many times I start and soon quit) and I walked the Susan G Komen 5K. With all these achievements the biggest hurdle I faced in 2009 was the death of my Dad in July. Since food is my addiction and comfort I have really struggled since July. I know that eating myself into oblivion will not bring my Dad back or make the hurt go away but I have learned that it is so easy to turn to your addiction when times are tough!

My weight today is 295. I am really ashamed to tell you all that!! Well today is a new day!!!! This is the year. HEALTHY AND THIN IN 2010!!! I plan to get down to as close to 280 as possible by January 16, 2010. That will be my 2nd anniversary at Body Dimensions and I would really like to start my third year on level ground with my second year. My personal goal is to lose 6-8 pounds a month in 2010 because I would love to get down to 199 by January 16, 2011!!!!!

What are your goals? Share them with me. I would love to hear from you. Email me at healthierfaith@yahoo.com. Thank you for following along on my journey. I promise 2010 will be more interesting than 2009!!!!!!!!
