Hi everyone. I'm a 41 yr old mother of 2 from Illinois and am ready to be DONE with being unhealthy and overweight.
I have a foot injury that makes it nearly impossible to walk every day for exercise but I'm not letting that stop me. I will do whatever it takes to lose this weight, however long it takes me. ...

Hi everyone. I'm a 41 yr old mother of 2 from Illinois and am ready to be DONE with being unhealthy and overweight.
I have a foot injury that makes it nearly impossible to walk every day for exercise but I'm not letting that stop me. I will do whatever it takes to lose this weight, however long it takes me. I love to swim so that is my main form of exercise. I will supplement it with short walks, when possible, and strength training.
For the first time in my life I had a high cholesterol and high triglyceride reading in June 2009. I HAVE to get healthy. I cleaned out my fridge and cupboards and was DONE with continually feeding high fats and refined and processed foods into my body.
This has become a life-changing journey that I've embarked on. I won't live my life in misery any more. I am DONE with my old sedentary life. I am DONE with making excuses. I will love myself again.

I'm from Illinois and have 2 sons who are the joys of my life. I enjoy reading (mostly James Patterson, Nelson DeMille type authors), singing, listening to music. I love outdoor activities and look forward to when I can do them all the time again.
Other Information:
Bless the days this restoration is complete
dirty, dusty, something must be underneath
So I scrape and I scuff
though it's never quite enough
I am starting to see me finally
A gallery of paintings new and paintings old
Guess it's no suprise that I'm no Michaelangelo
every layer of mine
hides a lovely design
It might take a little patience
it might take a little time
