lose 40lbs.

So, I have incentive now. If I lose 40 lbs, I’ll get $500.00. You’ll find me at the gym (that I loath) today.

When I was 19, I had Hodgkins Lymphoma. Prior to that, over a year’s time, I’d dropped nearly 40 lbs by diet and exercise alone. When i started treatment, part of that treatment was prednisone…steroids. I ballooned back to my original weight in 3 months…or 2, I don’t remember. Not only that, today, I’ve packed on 40 more lbs. Let’s just say at this point, you throw motivation out the window. Don’t get my wrong, I’m lucky to have survived…and continued cancer free for almost 8 years now. I don’t take for granted my life except in the health department. I was reading a study today that really made me think that maybe I need to eat healthier and be healthier. If I’m going to think about kids, I have to think about that. So, when I start (and I’m not rushing myself) I’m doing it for my husband and my future kids…if there are any.
