Change - Obama made it popular and I'm running with it.

It's only the 22nd day of the new year and already I feel like I've done so much. I've never really made New Year's resolutions before and I wasn't going to start now. I wasn't sure what to expect from this year, and although we're not even a full month into it, I feel like this is my year. This is going to be magnificent! This year is a year of change.

Obama may have made "change" popular in 2008, but now I'm running with it. I've done well with it so far.




[Alright, so I may have started this post on the 22nd and didn't complete it]

Soooo now on the 28th day of the month, I'm still motivated to have "change" be my word of 2013. I have big plans and I can't wait to unravel some of them. For now, my main focus is on changing my health. I've done well. I ended 2012 with some life-changing news and have yet to let that stop me.

After using Noom since mid December, I have lost 24lbs. The weight is still coming off, but not as quickly as before. I need to start adding actual exercise into my lifestyle. So far, I've just done walking. I hope to implement using Your Shape Fitness into my routine. Here goes nothing...


What I've taken so far from this: let change happen. 

Follow Up: What people don't know

I've debated doing this. I wasn't sure if I wanted to actually put this out here or not, but I've felt that maybe it'll be good. Maybe this will be a bit of a personal blog with random professional entries? Who knows. I was never sure what this was going to be anyhow.

My tests results have come in. I received a phone call from my doctors while I was home on vacation  I of course missed the call and had to call them back. I called my doctor's back and none of the nurses were available. The receptionist gave me my test results.

I have fatty liver disease.

I have a follow up appointment with my doctor for additional tests on January 30th. All I have been told is to, of course, cut down on my fat intake and eat more fruits and vegetables. The funny thing is, is that I don't eat a lot of high fat foods. I don't eat a lot of foods in general. I don't know why or how this happened, but all I can do is move forward. I have continued to eat healthier, or tried my best while on vacation. I have had some success. The last time I posted I stated I had lost 8.4lbs. I am now down a total of 16.6lbs! I have a goal of dropping an additional 20lbs by March. It's a slow process, but I am motivated for this goal. I also hope that I will know more after my doctors appointment at the end of the month.

So, here I go on another journey...
