Starting over

It’s January, 2008, and Anne wakes up one morning and says: “I’m ready.” With my eyes barely open, I inquire, “ready for what?” “Ready to change my lifestyle, ready to eat differently and exercise more. I roll my eyes and think to myself, “what’s this going to mean?” Anne shares her plan; eating mostly raw vegetables, fruits, nuts, beans and lean protein. Exercising and weightlifting 5-6 times a week. “All the while, I am thinking, this is going to kill me.” I say, “I’m just along for the ride”. Twelve months later and about 90 pounds lighter, we’ve become more focused and committed to being healthier with this one life that we have to live --with our new, improved bodies.
