About me, my sin is veggie pizza and shrimp fried rice. I purchased my Breville juicer in 2010 and I do a juice fast every New Year from January 1 to February 10; no solid foods allowed. I was born a blue baby with two named heart defects Tetralogy of Fallot coupled with D-Transposition of the great vessels. This year I learned I am the oldest living African-American/African in the world with my particular heart defect; if medical science is accurate; of those born with my defect between 1955 and 1971 and without a heart transplant; I am eleventh in the world; seventh in the united states and the youngest of all those whom had the same surgeries.
What is my weight lost goal; a well-toned 175lbs. I will achieve this through juicing and healthy eating; as well returning to my beloved water aerobics and light weight training. Losing weight has never been my issue; I am very good at that; keeping the weight off is the issue; especially during periods of inactivity as a result of my heart defect. Fluid weight is my other issue; a calorie conscious restaurant meal will result in 10-lbs of fluid the following morning. Juicing the majority of my meals alleviates fluid weight gain and inactivity weight gain.
Life for me is a constant balancing act; nonetheless I am here, and I look forward to experiencing whatever life throws my way. In my head I am who it is I desire to be at the size I desire to be; consequently, I am working to reflect the images in my head, onto my full length mirror.
Wishing all great success,
Sincerely,
