Updated October 1, 2012!
I had spinal fusion surgery in March, 2011. I did well with my recovery and got down to my lowest in years...156lbs. However, whatever I want to blame...depression, work, myself, life...I gained nearly 30+ pounds by the end of that year!!
Knowing that my surgeon told me, "If you get down to a healthy weight goal...you could wake up one day--completely pain free."
While my pain is nowhere near as bad as it was before the surgery ...

While my pain is nowhere near as bad as it was before the surgery (or, during the recovery from surgery), I still have pain. I want to be pain free--what a wonderful opportunity I have. So...here I go...
The title of my SparkPage is challenge of sorts--to myself! I have TRIED to change my eating habits; TRIED to get into an exercise routine; TRIED to make the necessary strides to improve my health and get back to a healthy weight! Well, trying has gotten my nowhere!!
As I get reaquainted with you all, and some of the new stuff here, I will DO what it takes to get to my goals!! I didn't starte well today...but, I will go shopping tonight and get all the goodies I need to make better choices for my meals this week!!
Hope to see you all around here...in the days, weeks and months to come!!
