MY NSV!!

ObviousIndigo

My husband bought me an elliptical 5 years ago... I was 254lbs and I HATED it! I wanted one of those gliders machines so I never really gave it a real good go. I could do 3 minutes on it and I was exhausted and my legs burned so bad. Neddless to say it sat in the corner til we took it back to the store for a refund. I was always terrified of getting my heart rate up from paranoia of a heart attack so I tried Atkins and lost 23lbs, found out I am allergic to gluten and wittled away another 40ish pounds slowly over the last 3 years. During that time I found out I have an inner ear problem that is affected by the amount of sodium in my diet and I was told by a neurologist to bring my sodium down to 1000mg /day or be dizzy for the rest of my life.
It was then that I started to pay attention to how foods affect the way I feel... in EVERY way!!

SO, I decided in October 2010 I am going to become a Holistic Nutritionist. I love what I am learning and the science of what you put in your mouth determines how you are going to feel that day makes my meal planning for me and my family that much easier.

A year ago tomorrow I quit smoking!
My life has changed so much since then. I am so focused on my health and that of my family! I am down to 166lbs and I snagged na elliptical last week for $50! My husband said I would never use it. The first night I was sad because I did 5 minutes and could barely walk. I would only ever exercise when my husband was home because of the fear of something happening. I did 35.5 minutes today , at home, BY MYSELF!!!
THIS IS HUGE!!!!!!

I have finally learned and proved to myself that I have no limits unless I place them on myself
