Long Ago

Long Ago ...

I look like the woman in this picture...

 I remember when I took the picture and I can't believe that this picture was found in the arsenal of the many pictures and I couldn't believe it was even there.

I was happy and was enjoying life but my health sucked, I was on blood pressure medication and I couldn't even walk half a mile, I couldn't even walk to the end of the driveway.  

I tried with some support but ended up in the hospital for several hours because my body was not ready for that reality. I began pursuing learning what I needed to do to fight for my life.  

It has taken me many years to get to the person you see in front of you and I didn't give up I want you to continue to put one foot in front of the other and keep moving to the life that continues to Win!

When I took this picture I was most likely 222 or 219. I truly couldn't believe that I was almost there but life happened and I struggled the next couple of weeks because I had a really good friend and later on in the month my uncle passed away. 

I realized that retail therapy is not a good thing for me to do when I'm dealing with things of this nature. 

I must admit that eating my way into a situation is not good therapy either. 

I will report, that I did okay, I must admit I did better than okay I have lost some more weight. 

I have learned, that life will bring you some ups and downs and although I loved each of the people that have passed away, I still want to live a very long life. 

I will remember their smiles, our talks and most of all 

HOW THEY MADE ME FEEL. 

I love you and I will continue to make you proud, this is for the both of you!! 

Here is to the Winning Life that Continues 

 

The Next Level

 The Next Level

I have many questions in my head, I can't believe that I am literally starring my ultimate weight loss numbers in my face. 

I went to see my doctor a couple of weeks ago and I was asked that question what is the end game because I weighed in at 219...

What a blessing it is to be able to achieve such a wonderful gift that I have been graciously given. I know that losing weight is hard work and it is a struggle for the strongest person everyday. 

I don't take this lightly because it only takes one thing, to push a person back to were they where at first. 

I can say that I would like to lose 30 more pounds and I will be done and I believe that will put me at 187, but in actuality I'm tall, and I think 20 more to go is more realistic for me. 

Here is to the next level...
