90 Day Challenge

I must say that I am very excited for 2013! There are many changes coming to my life this year and they are all aimed at making me a better person and improving my health. The biggest challenge that I am embarking on is the end to an era of being significantly overweight. Just before Christmas I stepped on the scale and I was ashamed at what I saw. I am at my heaviest weight ever. I was very bummed out when I got off of the scale and I vowed to improve my overall health. I have been battling with excess weight for most of my adult life; when I saw the numbers on the scale, I became very scared. The only thing that I could think about was having my family living life without me around. Being that I am a nurse, I know all of the dangers that being overweight can bring. Diabetes, heart disease, and joint problems are just a few of the risks that I fear. I want to be able to watch my children grow up and, one day, I want to be able to enjoy my grand children. I have made it a personal goal of mine to see that I am able to grow old and enjoy all that life has to offer. This will be my second time joining the 90 day Visalus challenge. The first time around I don't believe that I was mentally 100% ready to commit to the challenge but my recent shock has changed that mindset. Here is to a new year and a new me. Stay tuned for updates on my progress.
