Slowly but surely trying to get healthy.

Eating sensibly and exercising. That's it!!!

I began working out in Feb '07 fluctuating btwn 235 & 240 lbs. At 5' 6" & a BMI of 37 I am in the Obese Class 1 category. My risk of weight-related health problems and even death, is severe. I set several mini goals since being a Sparker .. some were met .. yay! some were not .. grr! Two years later .. Update: JAN 1, 2009 .. CW 190.5 .. slow but sure does NOT win any races .. but it will still get me to the finish line .. right? I didn't hit goal at the end of 2008 .. double grrr .. but did a darn good job trying. I obviously got healthier and fitter because I participated and completed four 5ks. Woo hoo Update: Feb 1 .. I ran my fifth 5k in 35.14 mins breaking my personal best record .. double woo hoo!! April 1 - CW 182 .. Yipee!! BMI now 29 ... I'm now Overweight and prone to health risks!!! Whatever lol Jan 2010 - still looking after me. Nov 2010 .. To date I have completed 10 5k's.
