A New Start...yep again lol

Well it's been about 6 months since I've been here! I went through a really rough spell, hating me, giving up on about everything. Then I got a new Doctor who said two things to me that changed my mental garbage.
"How long have you been FAT" yep seriously, he did not say overweight he said FAT.
then he said "lose weight or make an appointment with the undertaker" okay... so an undertaker and funernal director are the same BUT somehow not in my mind and the vision my mind had well it super bothered me.

I went home and I thought about life...mine! I came to accept that I cannot change the past, I wish I could change some of it but I cannot. I can only move forward and I hope and pray I am able to make a positive impact on the lives I touch.
I want to see my grandchildren grow up and see the roads life takes them on. I want to be there cheering them on and telling them things will be ok when they make mistakes, we all make them! To show them the unconditional love I never received, because it matters!

So that brings us to now, my Dr said my great diet was wrong, for my kind of diabetes, he recommended the Atkins diet, which I started on 1/26/13 and then my new heart Dr said Mediterraean Diet...dang so different, so I am now trying to create a good medium of both. I have lost 13 lbs not a lot but hey I'll take it LOL I've now added a 3 mile walk which I do under 60 minutes (Y) and I try to do it everyday, never less than 5 times a week!
