About Me
Starting now ... again!
Look at me ... I have a blog. This is new. I'm an obese 47 year old woman looking to enjoy the rest of my life to the fullest. Anyway, things have changed in the past few years. Some time a few years back, I was miss-diagnosed with bi-polar disease. Because of that I was given some pretty heavy duty meds that really messed up my life. I seriously can't even recall a few of those dark years. Anyway ... an assessment by an expert advised me that I wasn't bi-polar at all and I should get off of the meds immediately. So that's what I did ... WOW ... that was really hard. Withdrawal. Eeeeek. I also dumped the shrink who gave me all the meds in the first place. WACKO!! It took a few years and a lot of counselling to get over it. I have since changed jobs to something pretty physical. I walk a good 8 to 10 thousand steps per shift as a mail clerk for a large company (big change after 20 years of cubicle jobs), 6 months ago I quit smoking (for the thousandth time), I enjoy hiking, walking, and bicycling. On April 30th this year I had an abdominal panniculectomy (they cut off my huge belly apron) which has left me 10 lbs. lighter. I'm now pretty much healed up and I'm itching to take the extra steps now to change my eating habits. So that's why I'm here on this site now. I have somewhere around 60 lbs. to lose to be even close to healthy. I hope I can conquer this like the stupid pills and smokes. Some day I hope to have a couple of grand babies and I want to be active with them. Wow ... look at me babbling on. I guess that's it for now.
Why I Want To Get In Shape
I want to feel energised and enjoy the beautiful gift of life.
My Inspirations
- Want the energy to play with my grand babies when ever they arrive.
- Want to travel and experiece new things (kayaking for example)
