Wrapping up round one

I had ACL reconstruction a year ago.  On Monday, the surgeon is going back into the knee because part did not heal and probably needs to be cut away.  This second surgery should not be as dramatic as the first and my recovery should only take about 6 weeks this time.  So I am looking ...

Catching up

I confess to not checking in as regularly as I should be here, but I want all to know I continue in faith to what I have been doing with nutrition, exercise, and spiritual growth.  Truth be told - my entire world is growing in leaps and bounds, keeping me wonderfully occupied as I draw in new f...

I Am

I am a 55-year-old female who has been battling weight my entire life. I would love to discover what it is that is causing obesity to reach epidemic levels in our country. I have worked at this over the last few years. In fact, over a period of 3 years I had dropped 60 pounds and discovered how much I loved working out. I never dreamed that I had an inner athlete, but I was indeed releasing her! My weight loss efforts had stalled out even though I still had not reached my goal of getting under a BMI of 30, but I was getting stronger every day. Then in June of last year, I blew out my knee in a BodyCombat class. After complete ACL reconstruction and months of rehabbing the knee, I have regained over 30 pounds. I have been struggling with regaining the strength in my leg to get back into an exercise routine and struggling with the pounds. My efforts have produced nothing more than frustration, but I cannot and will not throw in the towel. I want to sprint into old age! It is not about aging gracefully, but about being able to live life to its fullest into my final years on this planet and helping others do the same. I am more than ready to make this commitment and take on the challenge.

My Favorite Charity

To me, Transformation Means

Feeling strong - being comfortable in my own body. Finding inner strength as well as outer. Being able to reach out and share the same with others.

My Goals

To believe in myself without the need to seek outside approval.
To fit back into last summer's clothes.
To heal my body and be strong enough to PLAY HARD!
To find the nerve to buy a bike and see if I can ride it.
To get my own ego out of the way, so I can share more of me with others.
To earn dropping the "Wounded" away from the handle.

My Intentions

To begin the challenge 5/11
Cardio x 5 weekly
Weight training 2 to 3 times weekly.
5 to 6 balanced, small meals a day
Kick the sugar

Who I'd Like to Inspire

I want to continue to inspire those I work out with at the gym, and to be a role model for every woman out there who thinks it is "too late." I want to inspire every little girl who was never told that she too could be an athlete, an Olympian, a CHAMPION.
