Jennie's Health Journey

On Sunday, a lady from my church noticed my slimming down, and sent me an email. Here was my response:
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Since August I've lost 45 pounds. I don't have one specific thing I've done, but here's the things I've been doing:

1. Changed my thinking. I want to model a healthy, active lifestyle for my children.
2. Eating breakfast (I use to skip it)
3. Drink 16 oz of water before I eat any meal
4. Journaling my food/exercise at http://www.myfitnesspal.com/ (I make better choices of quantity and quality of food when I write it down)
5. Better undergarments (I got mine from a friend) http://www.ardyssbodymagicshop.com/all-ardyss/ardyss-body-magic-body-shaper.html
6. Exercise: 10 minutes of movement a day is my goal.
7. Joined a bible study group (CBS): God led me to a group that sharpens one another with scripture - I love it!

I only have 15 pounds left for my pre-baby goal weight. But weight isn't my motivating factor, it's really the health aspect.

I've been a massage therapist for 10 years, so I have the knowledge of healthy living. I had some health troubles for about 3 years when my kids were born. I guess I started overeating for comfort. Before I knew it I weighed more that when I was pregnant. I had my gallbladder out in August 2010 and decided that I didn't need food to bring me comfort anymore. My health troubles are over now, and it feels great to have the energy I had before I had my kids!

I don't know where you are in life, but I hope I can give you some encouragement in your journey.

Praying you have a fabulous day!
