A new Birthday!!

Today, I am 44 years old. What a year this has been. I started off this year soooo unhappy with myself, so unhealthy. I didn't feel that I had will power to make the change in my life that I needed. It's amazing what the mind can do when it needs to. That's what happened to me. I put my mind to it. A simple term really, but I just had to be "right in my mind" with my decision to get healthy and look where it's got me.

This is me today, September 16, 2008. 44 years old.....or is it 44 years young??

I went to the doctor last Monday. I had some tests run because I wanted to see how I was doing. I take High Blood Pressure medicine, I'm at risk for High Cholesterol, and during my last visit, he told me my BMI was OBESE. I needed to know where I was with my health since I've lost the weight and where I needed to go. Wow was I shocked!
My doctor told me I can stop taking the blood pressure meds. He told me my cholesterol was in a very normal range. And my BMI? I am in the NORMAL range. Not OBESE, not OVERWEIGHT, but NORMAL!! I sat there stunned. And happy. VERY VERY happy. :)

As for this picture taken this morning: I was thrilled to get this pencil skirt on. I have LEGS! I got whistled at when I got coffee this morning! Oh MY gosh!

Life is a new. Life is changing. Life is good. Hope your life is good this year.
