Joanne's Journey to Health
I am very happy but also very out of shape. Don’t you love euphemisms. I am 100 pounds overweight, my blood pressure is scary-high, and I start puffing after I walk a block. Yep, that qualifies as out of shape, I guess.
On May 30,2011, I watched the debut of Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition. The star is Rachel, who at 21 weighed 369.
Rachel lost 161 pounds,
It was encouraging to see what she went through and what she achieved. Meanwhile, I spend my spare time reading and writing about health and holistic health and am consulting with Kasandra Harfield on my health issues.
While I am getting ready to learn what I should be doing for my health, I take vitamins and minerals and I drink lots of water — 16 eight-ounce glasses a day.
I follow this program. Well I just started to. It’s free and available at http://pgx.com. It’s about busting your vices.
Just a side note — PGX is a plant fiber and the site recommends it but you don’t need it. Just sign up and get the ebook guide and the weekly encouragement. The site says, “The PGX program does not require you to use PGX. You can be successful without the use of PGX – if you carefully follow the program and stick to it. However, PGX can truly help, by giving you extra willpower as you change your eating habits and by magnifying the impact of your efforts.”
This is a free program.
I started weeks ago and I have it all set –EXCEPT — yes except for 2 things. One is that I do not get out and walk for 20 minutes a day. I don’t even get out and walk for 5 minutes a day.
And the other thing is portion control. I am so out of tune with normal portions that it is no wonder I am double the size I should be. So are my portions.
Get healthy by breaking your bad habits
So here I plan to do a little daily blogging on one of my favorite topics — why humans get in their own way. I know I would feel better, have more energy and live longer if I ate less and moved more. But do I?
No.
Not yet.
