Took over 20 years but I finally got it!!!

I've done every diet known to man. I was successful too. Unfortunately, I was a lazy lump and didn't exercise. So I would gain the weight back. I wouldn't listen when people would say that you need to diet and exercise together.

Well, now that I am in my 40's I thought it was time to make a permanent change. I needed to get healthy once and for all. I began watching what I eat and I became addicted to exercise. Shocker!!! I decided that it didn't matter whether I lost any ...

I decided that it didn't matter whether I lost any weight, I just wanted to be healthy. I started my change a year and a half ago. Since then I've lost over 40 pounds and my endurance is through the roof. Both of which were added bonuses. Still a work in progress which I expect to be from now on.

This is my life now. I am never going back to being unhealthy again. Yes, you can quote me on that!!!

My Goals:
My goal over the next year is to lose another 30 pounds. If I can reach this goal, I would love to get licensed as a zumba instructor or personal trainer for older active adults. I would love to work as a fitness instructor in a 55 and over community or maybe be a personal trainer for women over 40 who want to change their life.

My Program:
I am watching what I eat and trying to stick to a 1,500 calorie a day diet.

I am also trying to burn 2,500 calories a week.

I take a zumba class 4 times a week. I also lift weights or take a fit pump class 2 times a week.

Lastly, I am trying to drink 8 glasses of water a day. This goal is new to me and actually the hardest.

Ha, oh yeah, I have people in my FB news feed who post about EVERY LITTLE THING too. I really try to edit my own status updates because I don't ever want to be accused of being like that! (Actually, what is getting me right now is the 20-30 posts that all read some variation of this: "Come shake it with me at Zumba today at ______ at such-n-such time" I have to remind myself that only I can see ALL of those posts, cuz I sit there going, Oy, they don't want to see ALL THESE ZUMBA POSTS! emoticon

What can be more motivating than to have a pretty young lady admire your abs when one is a senior citizen!?!

Thanks for the nice words. I added you as a friend in the hopes I can drag more compliments out of you!

Keep up the good work, you are terrific!
