One Year Ago....

I had my surgery and I am thankful each and everyday. It has been one unbelievable journey. I took advantage of the tool from day one and have been at goal for the last 3 weeks. I am proud of the way I look and I now dress and take pride in myself. I listed what I believe help me to be successful. 1. I took special care to stay away from bad carbs. 2. I still yet to add refine sugar back into my diet. 3. I take all of my vitamins and drink water faithfully. 4. I have done extensive exercise since November. For the first time in my life I am maintaining my weight instead of trying to lose weight. I now focus on healthy eating because it is easy to eat most anything now. I now ride with my husband on a motorcycle and roller blade, I turned into a gutsy 53 year old. I will get my blood results back this Thursday to see how my health is. I also vowed to weigh myself everyday and if the scale goes above 3 lbs above my goal, its back to basics for me. Life is Great again. Janice
