I have come so far in my quest to become healthy. I have why I am doing it and thats the first step. I love my family and being a nurse. I meed to be fit enough to do my job and not feel like a fake trying to teach my patients to take care of themself while I am obese.
I reached 184lb and was smoking. Not good at all. I quit smoking and then hit the task of watching what I ate and becoming active. I bought Body gospel and the workouts kicked my butt at first. I loved how they made me look to God and always made me feel like I was being open and honest with myself and my goals. I Knew that if I wanted it and worked for it I would have my efforts blessed.
I was fit and in 2007 was really very fit. I let stress and my sons near death ruin my life and health. I made a bad situation worse, As my son got healthy I still remained stressed and coped with worrym eating and feeling I could not do anything to change things. I let worry run my life and smoking didnt help. I worked to much, ate too much, worried to much and moved to little.
I attended a banquet and really had nothing decent that fit to wear. I had to buy size 16/18 suit tha was a wake up call. I was the biggest had ever been in my life and was sick and tired of being sick and tired. My back and knees hurt after work and I hated to look in the mirror.
Jan 2011 I started on a quest for my health and to restore balance in my life. I am proud to say I have come a long way and lost 50 lbs and 12 sizes. I do a variety of work outs but still love my body gospel. I do it for fun now and for moment with God that is from my heart and giving thanks for this second chance,
I am working on a plan to get to my goals. I have formed good habits and nutrition but think I can tighten that up a bit and explore new foods and recipes. This next few weeks I will be working hard and working on that plan. So far I am thinking a hybrid p90x and insanity with a twist on the yoga days that I work, Do the power 90 stretch or the alohakeno. I am going to contact my coach and really make sure I set goals and develope a plan thats right for me. I can not risk injury as I work for a living and my family depends on that.
I took action and inspiration came. I started out with why adnt ehn worked on how. I feel I am ready to take this to the next level.
