Starting Over
Today is a new day! I've been a member of SparkPeople for over seven years now, and I lost about 90 pounds. More than half that loss has been found once again, even though I wasn't looking for it. In the past few weeks I've managed to lose about 15 of those re-found pounds. I'm ready to get rid of the rest of the re-found pounds as well as another 40 or so.

I've had numerous health problems in the past, but I'm finally getting beyond most of those. My diabetes is well under control (a1c of 5.8 on Dec 23, 2014), and my cholesterol and triglycerides are better than they've been in years. I'll be 65 this year, and I'd love to get to my goal weight before I turn 66.

My Goals:
Improve my health.
Become more physically fit, improving my BMI to the point of being only "overweight" rather than "morbidly obese."
My Program:
I'm following a plan suggested by my chiropractor. It started with an Organic Food Bar omega-3 flax bar, lots of veggies, balsamic vinegar, 130 ounces of water, and 10,000 steps daily. Over the past few weeks we've added boiled eggs, apples, chicken and beef. On January 11 I'll add cheese!

TODAY'S AFFIRMATION
I give up freely what is no longer serving me.
I release it to create space for what inspires me.

"A rose
can never be a sunflower,
and a sunflower
can never be a rose.
All flowers are beautiful in their own way,
and that's like women, too.
I want to encourage women to embrace their own uniqueness."
