I've never made my struggle with my weight a secret. Well, it's hard for me to call it a struggle. For the most part, I don't feel overweight. But I am.I've always (wrongly) associated losing weight with vanity. And I've tried to "rise above" that. There is so much more to me than my weight. I'm smart. Funny. Kind. But now it's beyond just having a smaller waistline.
It seems that this Mighty B has some mighty high cholesterol. Triglycerides to be exact. I'm still a little confused about the difference between all the different types of cholesterol, but one thing is for sure. My lack of exercise, poor diet and extra weight have put me at a higher risk for heart disease.
I'm making another attempt to start good habits. I've done this many, many times before and obviously never stuck with it. But it's different this time. It has to be different this time.
So my dear bloggy friends, I am making this my "secret-public" journal. I want to hold myself accountable in a more public way. I want to write more and I certainly have a lot to say about this journey. And I just feel like it's a story worth telling.
I'm not sure what exactly I'll write. Will I tell my weight? (Probably) Will I share my "before" pictures? (Most likely) Will I share my successes, failures, frustrations and triumphs? (Abso-friggin'-lutely). I hope it's entertaining and maybe even inspiring.
Cheer me on, won't you?
You know I'll be cheering you on! I've shared you my story privately and the reason why I'm working out more, and its not all for vanity reasons. Skinny people can get high cholesterol too if they are sedentary. (sigh). Let's do this the healthy and fun way! Zumba!
