A New Year, A New Me

Hello family and friends!

As many of you already know, I was selected to be a part of the Healthy Charleston Challenge MUSC, a program like the Biggest Loser TV program. When I received my acceptance letter I was screaming so much that my husband thought I fell and hit my head! (I had to explain otherwise.) I read my letter with much anticipation and, right away, started imagining myself as one healthy woman and already named the the winner (after a lot of work)! Prior to this, I

was going to West Ashley for water aerobics and following the Tony Ferguson plan (Love and miss my nutritional counselor Heather. She cheered me on and took a personal interest in me.) The Tony Ferguson diet program was a great start. Then, on to a low carb life style not eating anything white. Result? 30 pounds gone, in 3 months!  Check out my photos at the top right. The red dress is my 30 pound loss. We will take a full length photo today before weighing in next week for the Healthy Challenge. Take a look at the team of my ladies at our water aerobic class. What a sweet group of dedicated ladies! (Sorry some of you did not brave the cold that day.)  I will be back daily to look for your comments. I know you are cheering me on! Come walk with me, run with me, cry with me, be joyful with me because I am going to do this! Please share your journey to health and fitness so that we can encourage one another.
