Looking back to move forward


I was down to my goal weight in 2009 and I was at my peak fitness level. Then I got sick. I was diagnosed hip dysplasia. No wonder I ached all the time. My hips needed to be replaced.

I was down to my goal weight in 2009 and I was at my peak fitness level. Then I got sick. I was diagnosed hip dysplasia. No wonder I ached all the time. My hips needed to be replaced. I replaced the right in 2012 and the left in 2014. I've also had half of my thyroid removed due to nodules and tumor, this makes me metabolism sluggish. Now I am battling to be the strong fit person I was. It isn't easy and it took almost two years just to feel semi-normal again. I've gained about 40 lbs back. I do not realistically believe I can be as small as I was then, but I am trying to build strength and lose at least 20 lbs. I am looking at my old pics to try to remember what it was that drove me..so that I can drive forward.
