One year later: Living my Best Life
I hesitated sharing this "before" picture with everyone because it is anything but flattering. What it does show, though, is not only what I looked like one year ago today, but also how I felt: disgusted, unhealthy, unhappy with myself, and finally motivated. After spending nearly a year planning in my head how I was going to become the person I was meant to be, I finally had had enough and put a plan into action. I did it the day before the 4th of July and six days before a week-long family reunion in Texas. It meant giving up Diet Coke, alcohol, junk food, and white flour products. I had to begin an exercise program. I needed to commit to eating three meals a day, two snacks and a very healthy, hearty breakfast. And I did it.
I joined Curves at the end of last summer after going with Julie while visiting California. It's reshaped my body. In 12 months time I have lost 27 lbs. and over 28 total inches off of my body. At the age of 51, I feel healthier than I have in my entire life.
This has become my way of life. I may be following the Best Life Diet plan, but I am not "on a diet." I wish it hadn't taken me half of my life to figure this all out, but hey, better late than never! :-)
Thanks to all of you for your continued support and love through my healthy transformation.
