I find that I make the decisions to do better and no matter how sincere they are...my old self takes back over.

I began my quest to better health in December. My first day at the community pool I swam 4 lengths in 30 minutes and was whipped. Jan 19th I swam 40 lengths in 30 minutes. The old athlete stuck in the fat ladies body is fighting her way out! My goal is to lose 100 pounds, I've lost 12 to date and already feeling the benefits!

I have been fit and healthy before, and like so many others, I allowed work and live to take over, putting myself last. <br /><br />Congratulations on your weight loss, and I wish you continued success in meeting your goals. And thanks for inspiring the rest of us to take back our lives, and stop saying "Can't".Amara Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08864824846089556168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6137646469767562765.post-84761872890372756622012-01-21T11:10:23.058-05:002012-01-21T11:10:23.058-05:00congrats, my friend! you have worked hard and DES...congrats, my friend! you have worked hard and DESERVE it!skinnyrunnerhttp://skinnyrunner.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6137646469767562765.post-15052653576950496442012-01-21T10:55:34.830-05:002012-01-21T10:55:34.830-05:00I saw the article on Yahoo and wanted to read it. ...I saw the article on Yahoo and wanted to read it. When I saw your name, I thought I remembered a Truesdell from my childhood in Ft. Wayne. Then, I saw you ARE from Ft. Wayne... I think I went to school with your sister in law. :) <br /><br />I love you blog! It is so entertaining, inspiring, and easy to relate to. I spend so much time bashing Ft. Wayne, and today you actually made me feel proud to come from the same town. If you can have this wonderful weight loss with the same resources that are available to almost any Midwesterner, then maybe I can too. Your recipes all sound like foods that I would actually eat, and when you work out, you face the same challenges that I do (except I'm terrified of having kids.) You seem to overcome all sorts of hurdles and keep a positive attitude about it. You are inspiring the whole world now!R.

I'm fighting my way back but it is a struggle for me...the food!!! The food always the food. I read your story on Yahoo. I just wanted to say that although I don't know you, I am proud that you've been able to accomplish what you did. my goal seems so far away but I just have to stay the course. Reading your story reminded me that it will NOT happen overnight. I believe in the process. Never give up and congratulations to you. Much success to you in all your endeavors.Trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14216347918595177210noreply@blogger.com
