2017 Journey to Better Health

465= Glad to be Alive!

I will to post how I am doing on my journey. I will post my weight, what I am doing to workout and some other habits I am building.

You see my weight above..  465 lbs. at a height of 6 foot one inch. People are shocked at that figure.  My body is dense like a bowling ball not fluffy like a beach ball. They say I "carry it well" or "don't show it".

As one who has been big most of my life, I can tell you at age 60 I DO NOT carry it well.

When I get up from a chair or out of bed it is always an adventure.  I have to lean on something with my arms and them try to raise myself to an upright position slowly.

Too fast and my knees will not have had time to stabilize and I'll fall.

Once I am standing up,  I have to get used to the pain in my knees when I begin moving.

A doctor once said my left knee was needing replacing 15+ years ago. He wanted me to wait until I was older.

I am sure it is bone to bone by now.  The right knee is not much better. It is strained by over compensating when I lean on my right knee way when I walk with my cane.

I recently saw an orthopedic doctor and he said he would not do surgery until I was below 300 lbs.! (Thus another reason to get healthy and lighter at the same time.)

Not me but mine look like this.

So, here are some things I am doing to help my knees

• drinking more water- to flush my body and lubricate my joints as I can
• using a product I represent to help with chronic pain and another for nerve health (message me for info)
• using a combination of Plexus Slim, Block, Pro Bio 5 and Bio Cleanse to help with weight management (about $4 a day costs)
• walking more daily without a cane to strengthen my legs
• doing 30 minutes daily YouTube video for exercise that includes leg work  Here's where I am starting.

I'll keep you updated a little more each posts.

Finally, it may be this blog is speaking to your situation  Perhaps your heart is moved by someone who is like you.  I am opening my heart for your help...hope...health.  I am not a male fashion model on the cover of a magazine.  I am a lifelong prisoner trying to lead a jailbreak.  I'll help you find the tools to break out.

Psst. Pass it along...we're making a break for it!

You can join me between now and March 15 for this 60 day challenge. .

May you know God's incredible, limitless love and grace through Jesus Christ.
