Getting healthier every day

I'm on my way to becoming the person I was meant to be: happy, healthy & fit! Little late in life; but, better late than never! Since being on my own since 2002 I initially stayed in TX for 8 years, but moved back to Illinois 9/09 to reconnect with my friends/family/community. I've developed more friendships/had more of a social life in one month in IL than I had in 8 years in TX!!!


GOALS:
June 1~150# GOAL MET
July 15~145# GOAL MET

"How do you build up your bank account? By putting something in it everyday.
Your health account is no different. What I do today, I am wearing tomorrow.
If I put inferior foods in my body today, I'm going to be inferior tomorrow, it's that simple.

I just noticed that I had a comment on one of my pictures from you and I never noticed it in half a year emoticon ! So embarrassed!

Just in case you still wanted to know - the place from the picture is on the island of Brac in the Adriatic Sea (Europe, Croatia). I think the name of the place is Skrip (there are many beautiful places like this on that particular island).
