Remember Mt. St. OMG, that got shoved aside into other areas of the house for the holidays? Today I brought it back as a working area.
And as I was going through the papers in one of those boxes, I tripped over a hard copy of a blog from March 3, 2006. This was in my pre-Spark days. It is clear from what I wrote back then that I did not believe it was possible for me to become a healthy weight according to the charts.
In this blog on another platform, I was describing the wellness assessment done at my "new" gym. "Excess fat (44% body fat, I think was the number she measured, but I didn't get to bring that paper away, maybe it will show up in their computer system)."
My BMI was measured at 35.5! They wanted it to drop to 19 - 25 (the desirable range).
In my own words, back then, "I don't think I will ever get there, but hopefully I can get closer."
Well, folks... that was a loooong time ago. Today my BMI is sitting at 22.9, smack in the middle of that healthy, desirable range. I may have *other* issues that I'm still working on, but I'm proof that we can do things even if we don't believe we can!
So... keep Sparking, my friends. It makes a difference!
