This is me at my heaviest, 326 lbs. I am on the right.
It
was November 19, 2010 just 6 months past my 40th birthday when God
said “Girl, your time has run out!” I thank Him everyday for that kick in the
butt to…
1)
get me to stop smoking, I can breathe, I can smell and I can taste food so much
better, I eat less of it.
2)
I was on the verge of full blown Type II Diabetes, but with exercise and change
in diet, I am now off medication for Diabetes and my doctor has taken me off
that diagnosis.
3)
326 POUNDS, at that weight, I hated myself, my surroundings and my life. I am
now down to 217 as of this writing. I am healthy, happier and I can move and do
things I couldn’t do before. I love moving, doing and going.
This photo was taken two months before heart attack.
I am all the way to the left.
I
saw my Cardiologist today, my check-up was awesome, BP was normal, finally as
it was so high for the past 5 years. EKG was great. Cholesterol test showed
that my HDL’s were at 89, my LDL’s were at 29 (my doctor was Gob-Smacked). He
has reduced my medication which is just unheard of. I have the LDL levels of a
child.
This
is all due to God saying, get up and move. Praise be to Him, who is in full
control. With him all things are possible. I am alive and living a very happy,
healthy and productive life.
This
journey is just beginning; I am going to finishing sharing the past year’s
journey of heart attack to the Disney half marathon. So stay tuned. ;-)
This picture was taken in December, a year after
my heart attack.
Tomorrow, learning about foot wear and leg pain.
