Okay! I caught up and I am in this to win this, wit ya! Last year on Oct. 18th 2006 I weighed 222 pounds. That is 47 more pounds than I needed or wanted. I kept a personal exercise and nutrition journal with photos taken every month. I lost weight and I lost it faster than I anticipated. Overall I lost 30 pounds. It is amazing the time it took to lose the weight approximately 2 pounds per week about 15 or 16 weeks, and even more amazing how quickly it returned--really, really fast. Some negative things happened my life and I have gained it all back except 1 pound. What a yo-yo! I know how to lose the weight. My biggest challenge is keeping the weight off. Muslimahlocs once told me about the Sankofa bird and I am now ready to apply this principle to my weightloss. I will not create an online blog, but I will follow yours, support you, encourage you, and share my experience with ya in my comments! I am sure our conversations will inspire me, because this blog already has. Thanks!
My start for this year is to get my head back in the postive frame of mind. I am re-reading "You: On a Diet The Owner's Manual for Waist Management" by Michael F. Roizen, M.D. and Mehmet C. Oz, M.D. I really like the style of writing. I asked my twin sister to check it out from the library (she is too thrifty to buy a copy) and read it with me. Our assignment for week one is to read the Introduction, 23 pages. We will probably have a discussion about it Friday. I am modifying my personal offline journal and hope to have it ready to go by November.
In the meantime, I worked out three times this week. I am off from school for the next two weeks so I really hit this program running. I almost went back to the gym tonight for a second workout. But our aerobics instructor cancelled the class, and it is not the same without her. Plus I my calves are tender so I am going to massage and soak them in hot water.
I started this blog as a single girl just trying to make her way in the world. I am now a newlywed trying to navigate my way through this new business of being married.
I love my husband dearly; he is very many of the things I always knew I wanted but feared I might never find...
I am still living life, finding fulfillment, and making memories every day...
And it is my honest intention to continue detailing my journeys in the hopes that my stories will help others as those who came before have helped and encouraged me. Enjoy!
