I am Angie! I am so excited to be using this website!! I have lost 60 pounds and decided I won't put a date on my goal to get to my low of 158.. I just had a birthday in August and enjoyed myself. I am healthier than I have been in 5 years and loving life! Welcome to my journey.
I think it is time for an update to my journey. I have had a less than great year in the exercise department in 2012. I was just not motivated to exercise and had various health issues arise that made it difficult to exercise the way I enjoy. That is water exercise. I was unable to swim and didn't even go to the gym very much. Since swimming was my main exercise...I didn't get much.
I joined the AIM-HI (Americans in Motion-Health Intervention) class at a local clinic. It has been the jump start I needed for 2013!! It focuses on Nutrition, emotions and activities. What a great opportunity!! I almost shyed away from taking the class, because the group is lead by a psychcologist. My thoughts about it was just like...more analyzing!! What do I need that for anyway!! Well, it is so much more than that!! If you have the opportunity to join an AIM-Hi group in your area...I say "jump at the chance!" It has been awesome!!
Update: May 4th, 2013
I just finished the Shape Up Montana program. I was in a team doing the activity program. I walked over 200 miles from February 1st through May 1st. Wow! I never thought I could do that! I love to walk, but wasn't able to do much of it after my knee surgery. Well, on February 1st I started doing 10 minutes a day. Then I would go for 15 and so on. I can walk for 30 minutes without stopping. I currently can walk a mile in 19 minutes. I am trying to get that down to a 15 minute mile, so I can walk 2 miles in 30 minutes.
I have made it to Onederland!! It feels great! I continue to lose weight slowly. I have no problem with losing it slowly. It did come off faster at first, but it is totally worth waiting for the weight to drop each week.
I am eating healthier and feeling great! Even with my medical challenges I am doing well for 50!!

My Goals:
My new goal is to walk a mile in 15 minutes. Another goal is to use my resistance bands regularly for strength training and make sure I stretch each day. The walking will help with my bone density, which I really need.
My Program:
I finished the Shape Up Montana program. I walked 200 miles from February 1st to May 1st! I never thought I could walk so much again. I continue to surprise myself with continued distance and weight loss!
