Not Sure Why, But I'm Still Here

I had dental surgery in September which didn't go very well (two dry sockets), then a reaction to the antibiotics, and now my back is injured, but I have no idea how.

I've all but given up, so I'm not sure why I'm updating my Sparkpage.

Member Since: 6/14/2008

SparkPoints: 3958

SparkAmerica Minutes: 1460

My Goals:
~ To lose 230 pounds to get to my goal weight of 150

~ To become active again and get back into the life I used to love

~ To reverse my insulin resistance and iron out my health issues, most of which are related to being inactive and overweight

My Program:
Daily exercise and changing my diet to a balanced one with proper nutrition and portion sizes. I don't do fads like low-carb and excessive protein. Moving more and more towards natural, unprocessed, whole forms of foods and away from excesses and "convenience" eating.

Personal Information:
34 years old, part time university student, married. Tired of my pseudo-life and ready to move on from the hurt and disappointments I've known so far.

Other Information:
I once had a sparrow alight upon my shoulder for a moment, while I was hoeing in a village garden, and I felt that I was more distinguished by that circumstance that I should have been by any epaulet I could have worn. ~ Henry David Thoreau
