New year

Well with the cancer gone, and a new year upon us its time to re-access where I am.

Last year at this time I made a commitment to myself that I was going to be more aware of my health and I was going to make certain that I got healthier as 2009 progressed. In a weird way I guess thats just what I did. I got my health checked over had the issue (that bad cough) diagnosed and treated. I also had planned on exercising every day and to cut down on my portions and try to get a better grip on my weight.

While I was sick with cancer though, I was unable to exercise like I was used to I was simply too tired from the treatments. and my weight... oh lets not discuss how much weight I put ON....

Well actually it was 30 lbs. 30 above what I had lost when I committed to do better. I now need to loose that plus what I had lost already and what I was trying to loose. My weight I would like to get to is 150lbs... I weighed 130 in school but looking back at that I think I was just too thin.

So now I am going to start by exercising and cutting back. Not any "I'm not gonna eat this or that" just smaller amounts. My Doc says to not stress over how much I loose. It didnt go on in a month it cant come off in a month. Originally he told me a pound a month. In the end I had it to 3 pounds in a month.

I think I will try and use part of this blog to help keep me accountable. After all I know if I hadnt taken this side trip into cancer land, the 30 + pounds might not have gone on. Keep watch on my new ticker on my sidebar that will show my progress...
