Those Pictures Finally Did It!I'm Getting Real With Exercise!

Okay, already! The first 20 pounds almost melted off, but there's a looong way to go, lady! I'm still tipping those scales way over that 200 mark, and I'm hoping to scale down to a trim 140. I'm using the best carbohydrate-reducing, metabolism booster on the market, but making a commitment to real health means more than pushing supplements. I'm using a three-pronged approach in this enterprise, combining nutrition, supplements, and exercise to lose weight, achieve fitness, and get healthy.

The exercise is the toughest part of this program. I've been content to take a walk now and then and call it "exercise." Who have I been kidding? Certainly not the mirror or the camera, and definitely not the bathroom scale! After posting those dreadful photos this morning I high-tailed it over to the Bethlehem YMCA and submitted this sorry body to a full, intensive 40-minute cardio workout. These muscles didn't know what hit them today! Afterwards I treated them to a glorious 15 minutes in the sauna, a delicious shower, and an utterly divine whirlpool experience. Then I summoned every ounce of effort remaining in this pre-menopausal protoplasm and dragged myself home to a lunch of yogurt with wheat germ, a glass of soy milk, and my midday supplement mix. Now it's back to the world of real estate for the balance of the afternoon and evening.

Does anyone have a house to sell? I'm almost sold out! Call me!
