Going for HEALTHY


Time for an update! Over a year ago, I started with a personal trainer and decided to go to a fully plant-based (vegan) diet (best decision ever!). I have lost 62 pounds so far (going from obese to *almost* normal weight - size 18 to size 4)...The strength training has made such a huge difference. I realized today that, at 51, I have never felt stronger and healthier than I do right now (and that even includes when I was on the HS gymnastics team and working out 6 days a week!).

Time for an update! Over a year ago, I started with a personal trainer and decided to go to a fully plant-based (vegan) diet (best decision ever!). I have lost 62 pounds so far (going from obese to *almost* normal weight - size 18 to size 4)...The strength training has made such a huge difference. I realized today that, at 51, I have never felt stronger and healthier than I do right now (and that even includes when I was on the HS gymnastics team and working out 6 days a week!). It is truly a new lifestyle, and the process of strength/cardio training does wonders to reduce stress and anxiety. And, instead of wishing for a past version of myself, I know now that my best body is always just ahead!

    ICANBEHEALTHY2, thanks for your comment on the post about struggling to increase calories. I'm sure your response will be helpful to me as well. I have started every day with a well planned, nutrient dense meal and then end up taking half of it off because of the sheer quantity of food I had to eat to meet my minimum calorie goal of 1200. I wasn't a big eater to begin with. I just consumed a lot of calories from sodas. I'm still working on the details, and this will be a big help to me. :)

    Thanks for the comment on my post. I walk every day with the dogs, so much that they know what the pedometer means.
