I am starting this blog to give my life a new perspective. I am almost 300 lbs and don't want to hit over 300. I want to be around for along time and be here for my 2 wonderful children.
Let me start by saying that they are not happy about some of the changes to our house.
Biggest change: NO MORE SODA!!!!!!!
Oh yeah they are not happy about this. And from now on when we go out if they want soda they can have caffeine free soda or just get juice or milk. My son is on the heavy side at 12yrs old too. He is over 200 lbs. and he has health issues as well so I want him around for along time too. I figure if I can be healthy then so can he.
I have started the Biggest Loser and Jillian Michael's Fitness Ultimatum 2010 for the Nintendo DS. I can monitor what I eat in the system there. I also became a member of the BiggestLoser.com and am working on making healthier recipes and changes in my diet.
The exercise is going slow at the minute due to back issues but I will persevere in this change. I have started a daily vitamin which helps with energy and metabolism so that should help too. It has enough caffeine in each vitamin to equal 1 cup of coffee so the caffeine shouldn't be too much of an issue.
I want to be able to walk around WDW and not be in pain and have more energy to really give my kids a WOW of a lifetime. So I will post later on when I get the results of my MRI.

Well the MRI was a traumatic experience for me. I got STUCK in the machine. I started to PANIC and will never go through it AGAIN. So tonight for dinner I semi cheated. I had some pizza rolls and a coke for dinner. I know this is no excuse but I am also so sore since I fell last night. But tomorrow looks forward to a brighter day.Posted 02-22-2010 at 11:55 PM by MaryEL8775
