Tomorrow is always a new start…

I have lost track of how many times I’ve said that in the last 1 ½ year.  This is my new gadget for motivation.  I want to start a new healthy lifestyle because I want to look good and feel better. 

For the last 7 years I have been struggling with my weight.  Back in 2004, my gradual weight gain began.  Before I knew it, in 2007 I found myself at my heaviest…174lbs [at 5 foot 2 ¾ inches tall].  It was then that I did a natural detoxifying cleanse, I lost 17lbs in my first 30 days… the weight kept shedding as I continued to keep up this lifestyle.  I would do these detoxifying cleanses every once in a while for the next 2 years and I finally got all the way down to 135lbs.  It was great!  I felt great and had so much confidence.  

Then in 2009, I started to slack and relearned all my nasty habits again.  Replacing exercise time with TV time, eating fast food again and just not caring about myself as much.  The price I paid for my slacking… now it’s the 8th month of 2011 and I’m back at 170lbs.   According to the BMI [Body Mass Index] scale I’m at 31.2… yup that’s considered OBESE.  In order for me to be considered HEALTHY [and that is at the higher end of the HEALTHY scale] I would have to be at 130lbs.  That means that I would have to lose 40lbs…I did it before, I can do it again!

I want to thank you all for reading my blog, your support and encouragement. 

Get Ready, Set, Go…
