Week 1 is finally over. My new journey was in my head for the last few months but didn't really get moving till last Monday, Jan 17. This week has been totally amazing, I couldn't have asked for anything better in terms of eating healthy and exercising daily.
I really enjoy what I am eating and the motivation this time around feels more real. All the other time in my life that I have tried to lose weight, I was doing it for the right reason, but my overall health was never my main factor. This time it is.
Things are so much different this time around. I am on 3 medications right now. Have been for the last 2 years. 2 blood pressure pills and 1 cholesterol. Also in September of 2009 I had a situation with my heart, called Atrial Fibrillation. Alghouth it was not life threatening, it did require attention to the emergency room and I had to be put under and have my heart re shocked back into rythym. Scary stuff.
From what I have been told by my doctor and a Cardiologist, losing weight will more than likely eliminate any issues that have arised in my life health wise. Signifacant weight loss will be key in me eliminating my blood pressure and cholesterol pills and the likelyhood of Atrial Fibrillation to ever come back.
Well I am going to weight mysefl in 2 days. That will be one week since my last weigh in at 510. Wish me luck. I am sure its going to be a great result. I am happy, confident with what I have done and how I feel right now.
