Biggest Goal---Saving My Life
Self-destruction has many agents; mine have been gluttony and sloth. I have plenty to live for; sick and tired of being sick and tired so starting new plan as part of new life in new location. Now that I am working on finding a new line of work at age 58 (officially have ruined feet plus lots of arthritis in hands and one knee so that lets out any more hospital work after a lifetime of health care work) I should do much better as long as I keep it reasonable. I have weighed over 200 lbs ...
Self-destruction has many agents; mine have been gluttony and sloth. I have plenty to live for; sick and tired of being sick and tired so starting new plan as part of new life in new location. Now that I am working on finding a new line of work at age 58 (officially have ruined feet plus lots of arthritis in hands and one knee so that lets out any more hospital work after a lifetime of health care work) I should do much better as long as I keep it reasonable. I have weighed over 200 lbs since July of 1997; enough is enough!!
Because I have so much weight to lose I decided to break the Big Goal down into a more manageable 25 lbs or less per4 months (average---6-7 lbs/month), repeated until that Big Goal is reached plus get waist measurement back down to 28 inches from 50. That way I get multiple victories and can fine-tune my plan as needed while in progress---if I lose faster I'll be very grateful.
First goal: 210 lbs by 9/4/13 (birthday)--
will adjust goals-to-follow on that date.
Hourglass shape again here we come!!

Fitness Minutes: 470
My Goals:
Getting my weight down to 140 from 238 should get rid of my high blood pressure and most of my blood sugar problems (low-sugar prone mild/moderate diabetes); no longer dragging around 98 lbs of dead weight should help my fatigue and foot and knee pain a lot!
Making exercise a habit; a strong heart and strong muscles will enable me to do all I need and want to do!!
My Program:
Food: After yet another vegetarian failure (love the idea but my system just will not tolerate all those carbs) now doing much better on Primal aiming for carb "sweet spot" of 50-100 gm/day of fruits, veggies, and Greek yogurt; using leaner meat plus olive oil until cholesterol drops some more. Exercise: Lowest possible impact a must due to torn-up feet so using good home pedaler, fitness center bike, body weight, free weights, Pilates etc.
Attitude: treat myself like I matter--made my body into living sacrifice for enough years to badly damage my health so now focusing on gettting well and taking care of ME.
Personal Information:
Tired, lumpy middle-aged Respiratory Therapist moved to Kansas City area from Cincinnati; looking for respiratory home care but have also applied for disability. Fed up with being chronically ill which is mostly due to chronic self-neglect and food abuse.
Live with adult daughter and two spoiled-rotten rare-breed purebred cats; setting up new life challenging but fun!
Other Information:
Love sewing (now making clothes again), needlework, travel, and recipe collecting/inventing; learning how to make healthy versions of my ethnic faves.
Also really into purebred cats; ask me about Cat Fanciers Association shows!
