Here we go again

Well, I’ve decided that I am probably the #1 prime candidate for a heart attack, even at 33. I truly eat like crap! I eat too much fast food, processed foods and junk and have for years. I don’t exercise. I am a tad more active in the summer but not much. I am pretty much a couch potato.

Everyday I wish I looked smaller, healthier, better…but the only person who can help me do that is me. I’ve tried 75 million diets, eating plans, etc. and I always give up. No good reason, I just do. There was one program I tried last year, Medical Weight Loss that seemed to do the best for me but then I got sick with my Kidney issues again and stopped going.

A few weeks back at one of Dan’s gig’s a gal named Kathy approached me and we started talking about loosing weight and she was telling me that I could and she was motivating me. I’d never met her before but somehow felt like I knew her forever and in those two weeks since we spoke I have really taken a stock of my life and what she said….I’m going to really try to get back on track.

I met with the team at Medical Weight Loss this week and am going to start back on that program again once all my medical evaluations are done. They require lab work, EKG’s and other things. I also went online and found some basic beginner treadmill/running exercises. I bought a new pair of tennis shoes, hand weights and an MP3 player, so I’m geared up to go.

I’m semi-excited but also apprehensive because my track record with diets/exercise haven’t been that great.

So, here we go again……
