I went to my Doctor's office with my daughter last week to get her shots. They pulled me aside and asked if they could check my blood pressure since I had not been in for a while. I gladly gave them my arm. They took my blood pressure in utter amazement - Normal. Stunned, they asked me how I did it. My answer was simple - diet and exercise. To which they said whatever you are doing, keep it up.
I have changed over and rowing from hiking since hiking is no longer aerobic for me, even while carrying my son in a pack and sometimes both of my kids. I can now keep up with the other people in spinning class whereas just a short 12 weeks ago, walking down the street or climbing a flight of stairs was aerobic for me.
The longer I live my new lifestyle, the more I cannot understand why I did not make the change sooner.
Although my progress is remarkable, I still don't feel like I have made it past that thin string waiting for me at the finish line. However, I must say that I am seeing my physical transformation as well as an inner transformation (my own outlook and life) take place every day. Even if I don't ever win any part of the MaxFormation contest, I have already won a huge personal challenge for myself - I have changed my self image. I feel much better about myself and am actually starting to like myself.
