Enough is Enough!

I think I woke up one morning last month and said" enough is enough".  I had gone to the doctor at the end of last year and she was worried about my eco test of my heart. Yikes... what do you me!!! I'm only 39...my heart should be fine right??? so I ended up having to go in for a heart catherization!  all the while I am thinking " OMG" After the cath was done and the doctor said that the eco showed falsely and on top of that I've got no blocks in my heart...and a good strong heart!!! All i could say was thank you Jesus!

Once again I said enough is enough... I joined weight watchers to help me get to Alaska!!! this was 3 weeks ago!  I am down 10.8 pounds so far!!

 I also had a Idexa body scan does.  This machine tells you how much your bones weigh, how much your fat weighs, and how much you muscle weighs. Basically it tells you "wegh" more about yourself than you ever want to know!! lol What I found very interesting is that when you add the about you bones and you muscles weigh, you will never weigh any less than that amount...humm..which means..it gives you an idea of how much you should really weigh!  Well looking at the BMI chart for my age and height it would say I should weigh between 136 to 148! Yeah right.  After I had my body scan done I found out that my bones and muscle weigh 149.85!!  that is with 0% body fat....now who has that!  So even my dream weight of 150 was  unrealistic.  The doctor said that a healthy percent of body fat for my age would be 20% to 35%, which would put my healthy weight at 179.82 to 232.27!!!  So armed with that information I am shooting for 180 pounds!!! so here i go!

So I will be curvin' it up and weight watchin' it "All the weigh to Alaska" !
