Earning my "Obama-Care"



Click above thumbnail to see the full image: The 3 Presidential Active Lifestyle Awards I've earned so far, and one week of six towards my 4th.

Top weight @ Spring 2005 (Freshman 15? Try 50!) 308lbs

Besides above,
Weight since 2002 - Fall 2010......................... 250-260lbs

Current weight............................................................................................223lbs!

I can't wait to get under 200lbs. I have not weighed 100-something since I was a child.

I'm shooting for 150-160, which according to all the BMI Calculators I find say even 150lbs is either marginally overweight or just barely in the normal range... I don't know, I guess I'll just have to see what my body does.

ANYWAY POINT OF THIS POST:

I'm doing what I need to do to stay healthy, for myself, and for my country. We can't all sit back & buy pills- more than anything we need to get up, outdoors ( - and socialize with people face to face, but that's anoher rant, haha) and way more exercise. We've all gotten way too lazy and I'm working to be less lazy- and I am so thankful for the part of Health Care Reform that extended coverage of dependents that allowed me back onto my parent's insurance as I am still very dependent (sigh, again, another rant). So while I have access to all these doctors and information and ways to benefit my health, I'm going to do everything I can to maximize those benefits.
