Huge News November 8, 2009

I started this challenge in search of the Atlanta’s Biggest Loser show.  I remember seeing an ad for the Challenge in the newspaper, and going for it.  I had already had an irregular heartbeat and I’d been diagnosed as being pre-diabetic.  I had an irregular workout schedule and I ate everything in sight.

As the challenge comes to an end……

I exercise at least 6 days a week.  I’ve finished 4 boot camps, lost bet. 25-30 lbs., lots of inches all over my body.  I’ve run the Peachtree Road Race and two 5k races, including one this morning.  But the biggest news came this week:

My cardiologist took me off of my heart meds!!!  I was taking blood pressure meds.  I was taking blood thinners.  I was taking a diurretic.  Now, all I have to take is an aspirin a day!!!!  God is good!!  Next step is to see the endochronologist this week re: the “prediabetes.”

With all this good news I still struggle with my eating. I have to stay committed to bringing my lunch and having healthy snacks.  I’m going to miss my fellow challengers, too.
