Before my journey began, I was so large that I couldn't bend over to tie my own shoes, I'd have to have help or I'd just wear flip flops in the winter.
I could barely walk to the mailbox. Running or even jogging was out of the question, Heck even breathing was a chore! I was having a lot of pain in my knees when I walked (or climbed stairs ).
I also had a LOT of pain in my back around my kidneys when I slept because of the weight, so I would toss and turn all night in pain not getting any sleep and being so tired.
Then on Christmas when I was uploading my photos of Christmas morning, I saw a photo of what I thought was my mother and had to take a couple of double-takes, it couldn't be my mother, she is 2000 miles away, WHO IS THAT? OH MY GOODNESS, That's ME!! I got so upset because I hadn't seen myself in photos to really know what I had let myself get to. That was my AH-HA moment. Then and there I vowed, I would fix this and get healthy. So like most people
I started my journey on January 1st and have been doing great ever since. Sure I've had ups and downs, but I never quit, I just kept going and stuck with it!! Usually, I'd give up within 6 weeks of starting but this time I knew it was for good!
I now am more active than I've ever been!! I love being outdoors, riding a bicycle, playing at the park with my family & my new passion, I have learned to love running!!
I enjoy taking mixed martial arts classes & boxing classes as well! Anything Exercise related is now fun for me!!
