My first class was a mixed martial arts class called Combat. Hid at the back of the room and could barely get through any of it. Holy crap Everything hurt, and I was in terrible shape and it was hot as **** at the back of the room, but I loved the class and the energy. Made another decision, no more back of the class I was moving on up to the front of the row with the super fit chicks but more importantly the FAN.
. So from there I was addicted started working out 5-6 days a week and trying to eat right. Dropped as low as 215 but then my weight would go up and down 25 pounds. By Sept 2009 I was done with the yo-yo and working so hard and opted for Lapband surgery. I was 240 at my consult and today I am 145. Best decision I have ever made. I always describe it as I eat the same breakfast I have for 4 years, the difference the band made for me was I am not hungry 45 minutes later, I last 3 hours on my breakfast.So since all the changes, I have joined Taekwondo and I am loving that and I love my new body as does my husband. My marriage is stronger and happier because I am happier. What a wild ride....Living and Loving Life!
