So, the last five months have taken me through so REALLY rough stuff in life. Along the way there were also wonderful moments and a winter full of holidays and feasting with friends. I ended up dealing with extreme exhaustion and what turned out to low vitamin D. I also found out my cholesterol is REALLY, REALLY high. Oh boy. So, it all came to a head (with several other things that have been going on) yesterday morning. I walked out of my job. Well, actually I went in early to announce that there is simply no other way for me to deal with my health and all of the stuff that is going on behind the scenes there. Today I feel a lot lighter, at heart at least.

I didn’t gain much weight back over the winter… possibly a few pounds but that is it. So, I now am at 252 pounds. This isn’t the worst news in the world though. I started going to the gym and running on the eliptical yesterday.  I’m now working from home marketing a company that sells organic house cleaning products, make up, vitamins, etc. So, I’m going to be able to go to the gym almost everyday. It’s going to be part of my routine. Thankfully this should help me get both my weight and my cholesterol under control.

I’m really excited for this new change in my life. I plan to cook all of my food at home (no more fast food what-so-ever) and eat whole foods. Also, I’m cutting out wheat since I’ve found I tend to have digestive troubles when I eat it much.

So, please follow along with me and give me any feed back that you have on what’s going on  and I’ll keep you posted on what’s new with me.
