Let's Get Healthy ~

I've unfortunately struggled with my weight all of my adult life. I have, however, been successful in losing a great deal of weight and at one time made it to goal and became a lifetime member of Weight Watchers. During that period of time, my sister-in-law Monica and I actually met Sarah Ferguson (Duchess of York) and modeled for a fashion show at the Convention Center! What an awesome experience for the two of us, it was lots of fun. Since then, unfortunately, I have again struggled with my weight and managed to gain it all back.

Since this may be a crazy time to think about dieting, I still must get as healthy as I possibly can. Although I'm very restricted (can't exercise much & sleep a lot of the time), we still decided to give it another try, so John and I rejoined Weight Watchers again. Yesterday we walked into our old center where we used to go, and we felt right at home. We met our leader, Teresa Rose, when Johnny and Jordan would play on a blanket in the back of the room, if that gives you any idea as to how long ago. It was so good to see her, I just knew she'd take good care of us and help me manage this the best way possible. She knows that I'm struggling with little to no taste buds now and that I can't exercise, yet she's still willing to help us out in anyway possible. What other leader would personally email you at home just to check on you?

Besides Weight Watcher's, I've made an appointment with an Oncology Nutritionist for Wednesday. Hopefully she can give me some tips on what foods will work in my favor and which foods to avoid now that I have cancer.

Well, it looks as though I'm headed in the right direction. My goal this year is to fight this cancer and get into shape at the same time :)

Today I'm focusing on HEALTH. Let's get HEALTHY together!!

Peace to you all!! Love, Genie
