My journey back to health and wellness


This is my space to document my journey back to health. When I turned 40 years old I started gaining weight. The reasons are unimportant at this time in my life. My doctor told me to lose the extra weight, as it was unhealthy. Did I? ... No! When my triglycerides and cholesterol got to 300 my doctor told me to lose the extra weight and stay on my diet. Did I? ... No! When my blood pressure went up to 200/100 my doctor told me to lose the extra weight and start exercising regularly. Did I? ... No! Well now I'm diabetic. I have been trying to lose the weight but couldn't exercise due to a bad knee. On October 16, 2007 I had a total knee replacement. If this doesn't inspire my to lost the weight, nothing will.

It’s Sunday tomorrow, I kind of want to go on a one-day cleansing fast?

I fell like I need a day to fast also

Yes, I just binged tonight. I seriously did. Had maybe 3,000 calories today, and well, I feel like this fast is ‘necessary’. And I kind of just really want to.

Should I go for it or do you suggest against it? <3

This last decade…

 was not good for me. At the turn of the century I moved from a large house, (1700 square feet) the “marital residence”, to a small trailer, (1200 square feet) that I could afford on my own, with ALL my stuff. I spent many years trying to get settled there but ya just can’t organize clutter. Even after many yard sales my place still looked like a dump. On July, 26 2009 my trailer was destroyed by a tornado so I was homeless from December 21, 2009 when my place was torn down to February 12, 2010 when my new place was ready. I only moved half of my stuff into a storage unit and the other half went to a thrift store. I was going to stay with my mom for these two mouths  but she died in September. I miss her so much.
 
In 2004 I fell on my knees while skating. I have had problems with them ever since. I get my right knee replaced in 2007 but my left knee started giving my problems soon after. I got it replaced on January 19, 2010 and I started an exercise plan that should have lasted the rest of my life but I fell into a depression. Trying to get my new place settled was daunting because it’s only 840 square feet and no storage shed so I got rid of another half of what I have left. I would love to get rid of my size 22W cloths but I’m still wearing them :o(
