For years I have struggled with my weight and my health. In the last 7 years my health has gotten progressively worse after being diagnosed Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), a hormonal inbalance which my specialist found at an advanced stage and has me at a constant high-risk of ovarian cancer. In 2004 I had 2 blood transfussion and I've had two surgeries in less than a year. Even with all these health scares, I have not been able to get a grip and control my weight. And as a Christian woman, I had the guilt of being the worst steward of my body, the only one I've got!

Last year, I spent 4 months in Brazil as a missionary and lost about 25 pounds. Let me tell you, you do a lot of walking under the sun and quickly get used to it. I came back to the states feeling better than ever, decided to continue on this amazing path of a better me, my energy level boosted and my eating habits transformed (or so I thought). But coming back made me realize how horrific our eating habits are as a nation. Fast food is readily available and cheaper than the healthier "stuff." Before I knew it, 11 months have gone by and I've gained the 25 pounds and then some.

To sum it up, at the moment I am 29 years old, 5'10" and I weigh 260 lbs. It is scary to see yourself getting older and having no control of your life. So I have decided that I've had enough. I want to live, love, laugh, praise, adventure, travel, play... all without running out of breath in the first 10 steps. So, I have pledged to myself to get fit before my 30th birthday in November of this year and start my 30's with a BANG!

(I will update this bio as I venture into P90X and see results)
