I weighed 20 pounds less on the photo you see displayed here then I do now. Back then (a year ago) I was on my way to reach a very healthy weight, but then I had a hectic couple of months with my husband in hospital and I regained all the weight I had lost plus I fell back into my old habits of snacking like there’s no tomorrow and stopped excercising. I don’t mind if I don’t get to lose 30 pounds or if it takes a long time to lose them. My new mantra will be that every pound lost is a good thing for my health.

Loving relationship: check!
Wonderful family and friends: check!
Fulfilling career: check!
Good health: ehm, not so much…

I need to work on my health and I need to start now. I want to be able to climb stairs and not feel like I’m about to have a heart-attack while doing so. When I started with jogging it felt really good, but then I lack the ability to push myself and continue with it. I want to have more energy, more freedom of movement, less headaches etc. My life is a great one, but my health does restrain me from enjoying it to the fullest. Therefore I’ve made up this list of goals to get in better shape.
My eating habits are sort of okay. My meals are healthy, fresh ingredients, lots of nutricious stuff, home-cooked etc. But my snacking habits are atrocious. I’ll start in that area. Next week I will take a long hard look at my snack intake and decide what to replace, what to leave and what to eat instead.
I’ll also start cycling on my home-trainer again and will try to cycle 10 km a day to start with.
