Losing me....

In pounds that is ....

Two days ago I celebrated 6 years and 4 months living life with my tool and my commitment to health and wellness ... keeping a total loss of 203 pounds gone in maintenance in partnership with my tool and a few awesome life changing rules... 

I no longer have 5 co-morbidities...... I am no longer mobility impaired ... I run 3-4 days a week sometimes every other day 5-6 miles along the beach and back, I have participated from start to finish in several 10K and 20Ks and I seek to participate in as many road races as I find available...I swim distance, I rock at Bokwa and Zumba (fitness/toning), Pilates and toning on Monday and Wednesday night and Bikram twice weekly are my go to de-stressors and fun fitness....

I have a clean bill of health ... over the midline of 50s and winking at 60s in a few years I am living my life like it is golden ... so many doors open every day ... I am entering them all ... with FAVOR ...

This is me ... before and TODAY...

 

This is my entry in my digital empowerment journal "A Picture A Day Keeps the Pounds and the Inches Away" a goofy tool that I made up with input from my awesome IRL sister Mela (RIP) .... it works for me ... I am tracking it all because I do not want to forget ... I am embracing Joy and MAKING it happen to me every day ... 

Thanks for allowing me to share ... SNIPPETS OF MY JOURNEY.... 

You are such an inspiration. I want your legs. And I love your hair in the very last photo.

You do not want my legs ... trust...LOL  I'd go for MissCalla's legs instead ... 

You have no idea how surreal reading YOU saying that is to me! I can remember last year being 250 pounds,  looking thru your photos and making a wish that my body could end up looking remotely similar to yours!

You are awesome! I know you're going through some health issues and you've had a very difficult time dealing with family issues, yet you are upbeat and have a positive attitude about life! I so wish I lived close to you! I would just love to give you a big hug!!
Thank you so much for your posts. Sometimes they are the only things that push me to do better!!

I have a clean bill of health today thank goodness having gotten over the challenges .... the loss of my family members are definitely much harder to deal with than I thought .. thank you sooooooooooo much for thinking about us and for your support and encouragement always ... thank YOU for pushing me ...

You look amazing!! 

Thank you Lisa...

You are like a fine wine that get better with age.  You look marvelous!!!

Thank YOU! beautiful ... I do feel much better now than when I was in my 30s and and dragging all this weight around... wish I had had surgery back then ...
