25KG Down Since September 2020, every day has been a challenge when trying to Reclaim Your Health, and today is no different.
Since September last year, I have lost 25 kg by being accountable every day for my food and physical activity.
When you think you are indestructible, you push yourself to the limits, try to stand out from the crowd and enter competitions like this one. (If you can eat the giant hamburger in Australia, you get your name on the brass plaque.)This 12-inch bun with a 1KG meat patty was hard enough to hold, not to mention eat, but I did, and my name is on that plaque in that Adelaide restaurant.
We make choices without thinking of the consequences that slowly creep upon us.
I was overweight for 20 years and developed chronic high blood pressure, resulting in a heart attack.
Undiagnosed Type-2 Diabetes slowly damaged the nerves in my legs and, to a lesser extent, my hands.
Peripheral Neuropathy causes the resulting condition, which starts with the nerves in your legs twitching and progresses to stabbing and burning sensations in the toes, feet, and knees.
The mussels in my legs have shrunk (mussel atrophy), and I am now numb from the waist down.
The good news is that I am available for hot coal walking demonstrations.
My Neurologist told me my condition would deteriorate, drop foot to a walking frame, and finally to a wheelchair.
Not happening!!!!
Six years past the date, I am supposed to be in a wheelchair, and I am walking on average 18,000 steps a day.
Both knees are bone-on-bone, and while I am sure the central nerve pain blockers I take twice a day help me walk every day, the Omega3 helps unbelievably.
If you are overweight and, like I was enjoying the good life – STOP – think it through – choices have consequences.
I know because I walk on them every day.
I can’t change the results of my choices, but you can if you take the opportunity to change at a time in your life when change can make a difference.
25KG has been down since September 2020 and is dropping more daily.
As of June 2024, down 40KG.
