Goal setting and Goal getting!

Today I'm putting something out there that I've ignored far too long. My health! At one point my highest weight was 490 lbs!!! I am surprised that I haven't had any major medical issues that would be cause for hospitalization. (knock on wood!) I've spent too much time just ignoring it. I was mad at myself for letting it get this far out of hand, but still I didn't take action to fix it. Until now! I've been back and forth going to the gym for a period of time and  then eating healthy for a period of time and then I give up. That's why I'm putting this out there now, because I want to make my commitment known. Before I would keep it under wraps, I didn't want to tell people how much I really weighed because I was embarrassed, I didn't want to let people know that I was dieting or going to the gym because I knew that later down the road they might ask me, so hows your diet going? or how are your work outs going? And I would have to tell them, "Oh you know.... NOT SO MUCH!"

So I have set a goal to make myself healthier and most importantly I have a plan of action! I am going to lose 60lbs by my son Noa's birthday on March 7th 2011 (5 months). Now I know I need to lose much more than 60 lbs but this is just the first step. I AM going to get my goal, because in committing to get this goal amongst my family, friends, and peers I know I won't give up. I can't  and will never give up on the people I love, it's just not in me. And that's what this is really about being able to be there for them for as long as I possibly can, 60 or 70 more years at least!

Let the fight begin, cause I'm bout to GET IT!
