I'm a 41 year old mom of 2. I've always been the type of person who maintained a healthy weight for my size & height but I wouldn't admit to being a healthy person overall. My lifestyle, in general, was not healthy. I drank excessively and smoked for years. On top of that I've had degenerative disk disease since I was 18 which has progressively gotten worse. In the past 3 years the pain has intensified. With the added pain came the added inability to be as active as I had been previously. And with that, came an extra hundred pounds my 5'3" frame has to carry, which leads to even more pain.

I live either in pain, or doofed out on painkillers. Unfortunately at the moment, this is my only option to lessen the pain. Well, that, and to get my rear end moving. I've been stuck in the catch 22 that is: the pain makes it hard to excerise & lose weight, but the weight makes the pain worse...

So I've reached my pain threshold...it stops here...with my doctor's go ahead I've decided to first tackle 10 minute trainer. We (my doc & I) figure I can at least handle 10 minutes at a time of intense working out. If I can deal, I'll stack them, if I cant, then it's 10 minutes at a time. I figure 10 minutes is better than the no minutes I've been logging for the past 3 years while having a pity party for myself & my pain...so here goes.......

And, it's been it's been 4 yrs since I've had a drink and 3 years & 7 months since I've had a cigarette.....
