My reboot… Not sure which # this is…

I am very excited I just got a new baby… and no I am not talking the screaming keeps you up late at night kind… I am talking about my NordicTrack 2.5gx… I call her Lucy and so far we have ridden over 30 miles…

I am so looking forward to getting my life back on track… I should've asked for one of these a long time ago… I'm talking about the time I was doing my cardiac rehab… We looked at getting a treadmill but we really do not have a lot of room in our tiny condo…

I am Starting all over… Portion control + Riding my bike 30-60 mins a day and I think I can ride my way through this weight loss… (pun intended) I bought some Glad mini round bowls to help with lunch and breakfast portion controls… I made eggs this week with some turkey sausage and onions, black pepper and garlic salt to add a bit of flavor… two eggs scrambled fit perfect in there… and the ziploc snack bags are perfect… one handful of a snack and in the bag it goes…

It also helps that I have been using my fitness pal… What a great handy tool to have… And they have apps… I have it on my iphone and my ipad… it really has been a motivator and a help…

I also find that when I exercise at 6pm after dinner that I am not as happy to go after the snacks later on in the evening… less intake more outtake is really helping already…

I just haven't felt my self lately.. I had lost about 35 LBs when I had my heart attack… it helps that I wasn’t really eating and that can lead to a substantial weight loss… and the same thing happened when I had my gall bladder removed in Jan but by the time we were on the cruise I had gained half of it back… and I was not happy about it but I was also in denial…

This is a change to a lifestyle that I no longer need to be living.. the sedentary one, that eats gobs of food to help with suppressing her feelings… this is one of a happier healthier korie…

Back at it...

It has been a long long time... I am telling you since the last time i wrote tons of crap hit the fan...
I didnt quite finish my second round of the HCG diet ... I got down to 199 and that is about it... 2010 ended and 2011 came in... we went to dc and on the way back Someone had a heart attack at the McCaren Airport in Vegas and died... that would be me... but yet i was brought back and am still kicking... anyways if you want to read about it then click here... I was saved by two emts that were supposed to be on our flight... Thank GOD for AED's...  I had about 2 months of recovery time and then i was back at work... in october we went to THE WORLD for the 3rd time... and then 2012 came  and t  January saw me divorcing my Gallbladder... those darn gallstones hurt like no other...

Anyways I am starting the Couch 2 5K... Yep i have to do something... and this is the best thing i think i can do... I need the endurance and such.... and it will help with my metabolism and my cholestrol and my heart... overall a win win... YEP, I said it... not looking for the easy way out looking for something that is going to kick my butt...

My stats... as of today...
weight 208.2
BMI 41.1%
RIGHT ARM : 15.5   LEFT ARM: 15
Right Thigh: 23          Left thigh: 23

Not sure if i will be checking the inches every week or every 4th week... I am not sure... But the weight will be at least every week...
anyways so far so good... Putting it out there and hoping this journey will be an awesome one...
I have my first 5K (walking not running) on March 17th... In Vegas with my friend Tennille...
