Never Going Back To Okay
Hey Guys! I have never been what you would call a skinny chick. I am 5'11" and my bone structure is not what anyone would consider dainty. So I never have weighed under 150 pounds (not since I was 12 I have also been 5'10 since I was 12). I was always very athletic in high school. I was in great shape, before I got married and had kids. Now I am working on getting back in shape. I want to look younger and feel younger. I want to be around as long as possible. I don't want to die of health ...

Now I am working on getting back in shape. I want to look younger and feel younger. I want to be around as long as possible. I don't want to die of health problems, but of old age after I have seen and held my great great grandchildren. So, I am making healthy choices for me and my family. Gone are the junk food binging days. Gone are the excessive emotional, pigging out in front of the television days. I am saying hello to a happier,healthier, more energetic life!

Well, it's been 4 and a half months since I started this journey and 55 pounds later I am feeling younger and better than ever! I still have a long way to go but I know that these last few months mean a lifetime of change...for the better. God has helped me get here by being my coach and support. My husband is very much a part of that as well. My friends call me the "food nazi" and apologize when they drink a coke in front of me...although I have no idea why. I just choose to eat healthy for myself...I don't force them to. LOL! But maybe I make them feel guilty because they know what they should be doing and are not. I don't know. But in any event I am glad that I decided on September 2, 2008 to change the way I saw myself...and to transform my body into what God originally designed it to be. But this has not only been a journey of healing for my body...but also a journey of healing for my emotions. I am a happier and more emotionally stable person for it. I wouldn' t trade this new found freedom for all the twinkies and brownies in the world!!!

I have experienced a few set backs in the last couple of months. But now I am back with a vengeance. I have a knee and hip injury but i am not going to let that stop me from accomplishing my goals. I am not supposed to work out for 6 weeks but I can do some stretching, so I will stick with that and do some low impact cardio. But I know that when this is over I will be stronger! I am still Never Going Back to OKAY!

It's been almost 2 weeks since I have been to the Gym. I am having a very hard time staying on track. Between all of the Dr Appointments for the Kids and me trying to find a job, I feel so overwhelmed. Not to mention I am fighting an upper respiratory infection. Right now I feel hopeless. I feel like I will never reach my goals. I fell off the wagon and am crawling on my hands and knees trying to get back on. I don't want to gain all of my weight back. I want to keep losing. But I don't feel motivated at all and no matter how many inspiring articles I read I can't seem to catch the passion I once had for eating healthy. I need help!
October 26th
Ok, Today I officially had to start all over. I have been eating right for the past couple of weeks, but exercising? Not so much. So I started all over at the gym today. I weighed myself for the first time in 3 months...ugh! Turns out, I gained almost all of my weight back, except for 18 pounds. So that's why my ticker only says that I have lost nine pounds. So that's where I am going to start. Not proud of it, but I am determined to not be swayed from my goal this time. My goal? To get back to the weight I was before I gained most if it back. Hopefully by January 26th 2010. Here we go... again!

My Goals:
I am making a comeback and hitting it hard! My goal is not as lofty as last time. I am shooting for 50 pounds lost by my college graduation in May. I am already down ten! Yay me! After that goal is reached, I will make another one to reach by next fall. But until then, I am focusing on the forty more pounds I need to lose by May.
My Program:
I am making healthy food choices. Watching my calories and portions by using the Nutrition Tracker. I am also going to the Y almost every day. I work out at the gym almost everyday. I have stopped eating in front of the tv and computer and I do stretching exercises while I am watching tv. I also am praying and believing by faith for my success. God's plan is for me to be a success. Jeremiah 29:11. It is His plan for all who follow Him to be in good health in mind and body. By faith I accept this promise and am taking steps in my life to see it come to fulfillment. Without Christ, I can do nothing. With Him, I can do all things!
Personal Information:
My name is Roberta Heath. I am a writer, a singer, a wife and a mom. I am finished with my first book and it is being published. It's called "Binding Up the Broken" and it's about helping people learn how to allow God to heal their emotional and spiritual wounds. It will be coming out this year!

my favorite movie is August Rush. My favorite authors are Francis Chan, C.S. Lewis, and Ted Dekker. I love Christian worship bands and rock bands. Most any kind of Gospel music is my fave. Although I don't really care a whole lot about southern gospel I do like the Crabb Family.
