SOME CHANGE IS BETTER THAN NO CHANGE



IF YOU WANT TO FACE YOUR TRUTH, THAN TAKE A REALLY GOOD PICTURE OF WHAT YOU CURRENTLY LOOK LIKE.  I ALWAYS THINK I AM MORE THIN THAN I ACTUALLY AM, AND IMAGINE MY SURPRISE WHEN I SEE A PHOTO OF MYSELF.   I HARDLY RECOGNIZE THE WOMAN I'VE BECOME.   

WE CELEBRATED TWO WEDDINGS THIS PAST SUMMER WITH OUR NEPHEWS,  AND UPON SEEING  "ONE" OF THE PHOTO'S WITH YOURS TRULY IN IT, I FELT SUCH A JOLT THAT I COULD LITERALLY SEE WHY I  WAS FEELING SO SLUGGISH  EVERYDAY.  WITHIN THIS PAST YEAR I HAD GAINED 10 LB. EATING LUNCH OUT EVERYDAY WITH MY COWORKERS, AND LET'S NOT FORGET TO MENTION STARBUCKS IN THE MORNING TO CURE THE DAYS SLUG FEST!

THE FACT IS,  AS WE AGE WE THINK WE WILL ALWAYS HAVE OUR STURDY LEGS TO GET US AROUND,  RIGHT?  I USED TO LOVE WALKING OUR DOGS,  WHEN THE DAY COOLED OFF,  AND THE SUN BEGAN TO SET.    EVERY MORNING UPON RISING,  MY ACHILLES TENDON  BEGAN TO TIGHTEN UP IN  MY RIGHT ANKLE.  I WOULD DRIVE DOWN THE HILL TO TO GET TO MY 5:00 AM JOB, GET OUT OF MY CAR,  AND THEN QUITE LITERALLY  LIMP INTO WORK.    I COULDN'T RUN IF A MUGGER WAS GOING TO ATTACK ME!   MY ANKLE NEEDED A GOOD HOUR OR TWO BEFORE IT WARMED UP,  AND IT LET ME WALK A LITTLE MORE NATURALLY.   THIS MADE ME MORE AWARE THAT THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF GREATER PROBLEMS TO COME  IF I DON'T GET THIS WEIGHT OFF!
WE ALL HAVE OUR WAKE UP CALLS AND I JUST SAID,  ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.  I AM GOING TO HEAL MYSELF AND GET THIS TENDON BACK INTO SHAPE AND STOP LIMPING!   MY BOSS SAID I SHOULD SEE A DOCTOR AND  I  SAID,  "WHAT FOR,  ALL HE'S JUST GOING TO DO IS GIVE ME A CORTISONE SHOT OR POSSIBLY MEDS TO TAKE THE PAIN AWAY.    TO MAKE THIS LONG STORY SHORT, WHEN 5:00AM ROLLS AROUND I NO LONGER LIMP INTO WORK!    I HAVE BEGUN TO WALK MY DOGS UP OUR HILL FOR A TWO MILE WALK IN THE EVENINGS WITH A NEW SPRING IN MY STEP!   MY WEIGHT IS COMING OFF,  AND MY ACHES AND PAINS ARE LEAVING!   

THANK YOU  JORGE CRUISE  FOR THE TEN YEARS OF RESEARCH AND WORK YOU'VE DONE ON THE EFFECTS OF INSULIN.  MY "MUFFIN TOP'' IS DEFINITELY SHRINKING, AND I DON'T LOOK LIKE I'M 9 MONTH PREGNANT, ONLY 6 MONTHS!    THE  BELLY FAT CURE LIFESTYLE EASILY WORKS.  

I AM 14LB.  LIGHTER IN  11 WEEKS!   MY ANKLE HAS HEALED AFTER CONSTANT LIMPING ON IT FOR THE PAST THREE MONTH.   I  HAVE A JOLT IN MY STEP,  INSTEAD OF BEING JOLTED  BY PICTURES OF MYSELF AT 188LB!      GOAL SETTING IS IMPORTANT.  PERHAPS I'LL JOIN A  ZUMBA CLASS NOW THAT I CAN ''WALK'' AGAIN!
