Butterflies and Rainbows

Yep, Rhonda has found her mojo again.  Can you believe that I’ve been on-plan for 25 days?! So, you ask “from whence comes this newfound committment?” Well, there was no one single Hallmark moment….rather, I had a series of events and thoughts that coalesced into one single driving need to finally see One-derland and, ultimately, my goal weight of 150. 

• My 44th birthday last month.  I don’t want to waste one more minute of my life wishing I were thinner, healthier and more energetic.
• Trying on clothes in preparation for my trip to FL - mirrors+too tight clothing = major sadness and defeat
• My bout with major depression has been relieved with the assistance of some wonderful meds and some forgotten bio-feedback techniques.
• The wonderful success of some of my peeps on 3FC has renewed my hope that this is possible.  I can lose weight, too.

Over the last 25 days, I’ve removed all refined sugars from my diet, re-started my modified C25K program and started trying new fruits, veggies and whole grains.  I can’t remember the last time I felt this good both physically and mentally.  Life is good and I’m enjoying the ride!
