Female, 37 Years old
Bolingbrook, IL |
| Looking for: |
| Diet, Fitness, Support Buddies |
About me:
I have been married to a wonderful man for 14 years. I have two boys, ages 17 and 12 years old. I work for ATI Physical Therapy in their corporate office. I also do wedding and event planning for a little extra $$. I love to travel, especially on cruises. I am totally addicted! My favorite places to travel are warm and sunny places like St. Lucia and the Cayman Islands.
My reason for joining Buddy Slim is that I need to able to ride my bike and play baseball without being winded. With a family history of hypertension, hypertension and high cholesterol, I needed to make a change in my life. I hope that this is something of something positive and rewarding. I want to be a positive role model for my children.
I decided to be a part of a "Weight Loss Challenge" at my work, I was embarrassed when the scale hit 210. How could this happen to me? I gained a few pounds here and a few pounds there, but I couldn't believe it. I started to believe that I was destined to be this way for the rest of my life, so I continued to eat fast, or fat, food everyday.
My "change" moment came a few weeks ago when my 35 year husband was diagnosed with diabetes. Due to his genetics, he's already on hypertension and high blood pressure meds. I have a family history of the same and I want to be around for my kids and their kids.
God gave us each one life. It is up to us, with His help, to live each day to the fullest. Food is only nourishment, it should not be a reward or a hindrance. I want to give my body the best, not the worst. Unfortunately, Big Macs don't fit into that category... :) |
Who I hope to meet:
Other individuals with the same goals as me, to encorage and bless each other. |
Diet:
Favorite : Southwestern grilled Chicken Salad from Mc Donalds (only 440 calories) Yum! |
Exercise:
Treadmill , Tae Bo , pilates and bike riding. |
