My road to physical wholeness 2

It’s been a week since my first blog and I have lost about 3 pounds. I will be honest though, It WASN’T intentional! I just haven’t been eating because Ive been so busy moving into a new place. I think I been eating one meal a day which it one of the worst things I can be doing. It will only make my body store up the energy (calories) I eat  because its in starve mode. I’m in transition so it’s hard to manage a eating plan. However, this is not an excuse and I ‘m going to grocery store today so I can eat more meals a day.

My Road To Physical Wholeness

So over the last 10 years I have gained over 150 pounds. Now imagine the stress that extra weight is putting on my heart!  Not to mention my knees and back.  I’ve decided to share my journey to my physical wholeness. I recently got a wake up call when I was put on high blood pressure medicine. Many may be like what’s the bid deal?  Well if you haven’t heard they call that the “silent killer”.  I was in denial because over the years although I was overweight I was always healthy. I can’t count on my hands all the times I heard a doctor say wow, you are blessed. “You don’t have high blood pressure, your cholesterol is great, all your numbers on your labs are great (thyroid, iron etc) to be your size”. I use to get offended like why because I’m bigger than the average person is he/she surprised that I’m healthy. Well, that report is no longer the case, my pressure is high, I have headaches, I have a serious family history of diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease. So yes, it’s time for me to make some serious steps to my physical wholeness.

I’m a little nervous about the exercise part, I haven’t been in a real training program since I was 23. I was running, doing strength training and was very fit but that was over 10 years ago. My biggest challenge will be staying focused; not falling off the wagon and staying on the ground. There has been many times I started a nutritional plan and because I messed up once, I forfeited the whole thing. What a DECEPTION. I failed because I gave up, not because I made a mistake.

So if you want to join me or just follow my progress (cause it’s going be exceptional), I look forward to letting my experience inspire you to consider your health and become healthier individuals.
