Welcome Team Slimsons - New and old members to March 2022 Challenge!
MY INTRO
My name is Gloria, 43 yrs old, still on this journey since 2004. It's been a long uphill battle but I refuse to give up until I meet my long-time goal of 200lbs.
Over the past few years, I've been diagnosed with asthma which has overlapped into COPD ergo the oxygen continuously, gastroenteritis, events & hiatal hernia, acid reflux, pulmonary hypertension, osteoarthritis, sleep apnea, high blood pressure, high cholesterol (as of January😥😥), chronic pain in the back and knees.
Current Weight: 468lbs
81.2lbs and 85 inches lost overall so far.
Everyone has their own lifestyle change but mines was surrending my will daily to my Savior and thanking Him each night for getting me though the day. Through that 1st step acknowledging I can't do this myself the Holy Spirit began urging me to change different things slowly by making one small change at a time and when I began to see results the Holy Spirit lead me to watch Documentary about animal products and how it impedes our health so I change my way of eating at least 80% following the Daniel Plan/Plant Base and it help me succeed further.
As I mention I still need to lose over 200lbs but I'm determined with my Saviors grace & mercy to continue on One day, one small step & change at a time. This past month manage to get my A1c even lower to 5.5 (it feels good to reverse my diabetes) also my hemoglobin and iron levels are rising hopefully in a couple months I'll no longer be anemic.
Woo Hoo because of His Grace and guidance along the way HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU JESUS!
Just goes to show you when you have God's Power as your strength acknowledge, your faults, and then start making one small change at a time.
THE IMPOSSIBLE IS POSSIBLE!
My Plan for Success this month:
• Surrendering to God in prayer morning & night
• Abstaining from Fast & Junk Food (except scheduled days)
• Guidance from my Bariatric Doctor & Physical therapist
• Intermittent Fasting Window (20:4)
• 10,000 steps goal
• Keep working with Physical Therapist to improve my gait & balance & hoping to go from rollator to cane device by December
• Continue Whole Food Plant Base Plan
• Hopefully lose 10lbs
• 4x Zumba Chair Workout Daily so I can decrease my sedentary minutes & Aquatic Center at least 2x week
• Continue to meditate daily
• Encourage myself DAILY not to give up & stay positive & to keep journaling & tracking

1st day back in the pool and boy was it nice and warm I walked for 30 minutes then took a 5 minute break and finished the last 17 minutes.

Was trying to go another 30 minutes but my knee started hurting so stop and did some stretches to work out the kinks today was a good day.💪🏾😌👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Hi, guys. My name is Leah. I am 27 years old and in my last semester of grad school. I have struggled with my weight all my life; stress and undiagnosed PCOS caused a 60 lbs weight gain in ten years.
I wanted to come and say that, because of school and personal obligations, I am taking a step back from the group for March to focus on completing those. I am still watching (or trying to, anyhow) what I eat. I am making an effort to incorporate more fruits and vegetables into my diet.

More than likely will be over today as well, we shall see. Been a busy, stressful few days. Work, water heater went out, dental appointment and theen another worker came out to measure things for the new dishwasher.
I found a company who could come out the same day to put in a new water heater vs 1 to 2 weeks of the other people I called. Feel like they were on the high spectrum of price wise but they had plenty of good reviews, got good vibes from the dude and he did a good job… Just ouch on bank account. The extra was worth it to my mom to not have to take cold showers though

Have a few library books am trying to finish before they are due back. Finish reading Just Eat, the writer looked into a lot of different diets while trying to improve his health. I really appreciated a comment from a French author, how Americans tend to divide food into healthy or unhealthy, while the French divide food into natural vs processed. I like that viewpoint better than labeling certain things unhealthy. While it may be true the food isn’t the best for you, I think labeling things as unhealthy can increase negative self talk more when you do indulge in them.
Overall nothing earth shattering but was an interesting read. Conclusion to me seemed like you need to find what works best for you, find out what that “bad actors” that affect your health and either reduce them on eliminate them completely. Also tried to cook with the highest quality ingredients he could find, to increase joy and be more satisfied with your meals
I would love to be one who could always buy organic, shop local and the like. I do believe that those products are healthier for you and better for the environment but honestly I can not afford it. I can’t let perfect he in the way of good. Am proud of myself on my grocery shopping days that items from the produce section are at least half of my purchase. I do still love stopping at farm stands when I can and try to get organic for items on the dirty dozen list when the are not that much of a price difference.1 -
