Osanji Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 -Update in Post #4- HelloI’m just starting out, again, but for the first time, you know? I feel like I have never given it all of my effort. The older I get, the more I realize that the last 2/3 of my life need to be better than ever. I feel that can only be accomplished with good health. There is a lot I want to achieve, and I need the tools to do that. This includes a working body.I’ve looked around quite a bit, reading the rules and challenge forums. I must say, it is a bit intimidating, but mostly, it is very motivating.Some of my objectives:• Weigh in @<150#@5’7â€â€¢ Stick to healthy eating choices.• Drink ½ my weight in oz. of water per day.• Exercise (for fun) 4-5 days each week.• Spend quality time with my kids.• Be healthy for my kids, sexy for my husband, and confident for myself.Currently:• Weigh in @≥230#@5’7â€â€¢ Feel I make healthy choices ½ of my day.• Drink only 36oz. water per day.• Exercise 1 day per week.• Feel I am not living up to my potential as a mother or wife.I appreciate all encouragement and advice along my 2/3 lifetime journey. I’ve spent way too much time in town, I need to get out into the field and fight. Link to comment
Eric the Old Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Those look like great goals to me. Making exercise fun is important. When I was trying to get myself moving again I got the XBOX Kinect. The Adventure game that comes with it is lots of fun and lots of exercise. I was surprised by how much my wife enjoys it, she isn't into video games much. I was very surprised how much my mother-in-law enjoys playing it when she visits too.

Osanji Posted June 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Hey EricThat's a good idea. I've been thinking about it, but I just wasn't sure if it was really worth it, you know?Honestly, I think maybe that will be a milestone gift. Thanks for that idea. Link to comment
Osanji Posted August 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Update My goals and stats have not changed from the first post. Over the last year I was diagnosed with IIH (Idiopathic intracranial hypertension or pseudotumor cerebri). If you are curious I will let you look it up, no need to fill this with the information. Meds aren't working - and the side-effects over the last year sucked.. so back to trying to manage weight to control my health. My other current option is to basically undergo a procedure to digest my own spinal fluid. Paleo or Borg? Let's try this again.. Link to comment
