ALOHA "TEAM AWWWRITE!!!"
WOW!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW FAST TIME FLIES!!!
IT'S BEEN 3 WEEKS INTO MY "PHASE 02" AND I'VE NEVER IMAGINED MYSELF BEING WHERE I AM AT IN LIFE. AT THIS VERY MOMENT I AM LOOKING BACK AT WHERE I WAS SEVERAL YEARS AGO WITH MY HEALTH.
ME & KAHEALANI - AUGUST 2010.
365LBS!!!
AUGUST 2010, I WAS WEIGHING AT 365LBS, DEPRESSED, CLOSE TO BEING LABELED AS "TYPE 2 DIABETES", SUFFERING "SLEEP APNEA", BADLY OUT OF SHAPE, AND LIST GOES ON AND ON!!!
MY DOCTORS SAYS I NEEDED TO MAKE SOME SERIOUS CHANGES IN MY LIFESTYLE IF I WANTED TO LIVE LONGER AND HAPPIER. I WAS PUT ON A VERY STRICT DIET WITH VIRTUALLY "NO SUGAR" AS POSSIBLE!!! I THEN WAS REFERRED TO DO A "SLEEP STUDY" FOR TESTINGS ON MY "SLEEP APNEA". I ALSO STARTED TO EXERCISE AT A SLOW PACE TRYING TO WORK MY WAY UP. AND THEN I GOT A "HEARING TEST" AS I'VE BEEN IN DENIAL THAT I CAN HEAR JUST PERFECTLY FINE... LOL!!!
AFTER ACCEPTING EVERYTHING "AS IS" WITH MY LIFE, I "TOOK ACTION!!!" LIKE I SAID BEFORE THIS YEAR'S MOTTO IS:
"TAKING ACTION!!!"
AND I AM VERY GLAD THAT I DID AND I TRUSTED THE PROCESS.
FAST FORWARD TO THE PRESENT DAY... TODAY!!!
TYPE 2 DIABETES... WHAT'S THAT??? NEVER EVEN CAME CLOSE TO MESSING WITH ME BECAUSE I SAID TO MY BODY THAT "I AM IN CONTROL!!!"
"SUGAR"... BLAHHH!!! I READ EVERYTHING ON THE LABELS BEFORE I BUY IT, AND YES I AM VERY AWARE OF "SUGAR'S" NICKNAMES:
I THEN WENT AND DID A "SLEEP TEST" AND WAS DIAGNOSED WITH "SLEEP APNEA" AS MY DOCTOR PREDICTED. SO I GOT MYSELF A "C-PAP MACHINE" - FOR MORE INFO, CLICK ON THE LINK: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_airway_pressure
I AM STILL USING MY "C-PAP MACHINE" AND WON'T LEAVE WITHOUT IT.
FOR MY WORKOUTS... I STARTED AT A VERY SLOW PACE AND I WAS SLOWLY SHOWING SOME RESULTS AND MY WEIGHT WAS GRADUALLY GOING DOWN TO 313LBS, BUT AFTER 2 YEARS OF ROLLERCOASTING... I THEN SAID TO MYSELF, "WAIPA... WAKE UP AND GET WITH IT!!! QUIT TRYING TO TAKE THE EASY WAY OUT!!!"
AND ON AUGUST 2012 THE UNKNOWN FORCES KICKED IN, I CALL IT THE "SUBCONSCIOUS" AND "SUPER CONSCIOUS" OF MY MIND. THEY BOTH GOT INTO MY FACE AND I SURRENDERED TO THEM AND WENT FORWARD AT FULL FORCE!!!
I WAS REFERRED TO AN ONLINE COACH, "TOM VENUTO" WHO IS A VERY WELL KNOWN COMPETITIVE BODY BUILDER, A BODY TRANSFORMATION COACH, A NUTRITION RESEARCHER, AND A MOTIVATIONAL COACH!!!
HE BECAME MY NEW BEST FRIEND!!! HE SET ME UP WITH A PLAN THAT WAS MADE JUST FOR ME AND I FOLLOWED EVERY SINGLE WORD AND HAVEN'T STOPPED AND I DON'T INTEND TO!!!

AND FINALLY MY "HEARING TEST"... YES I MUST ADMIT... I AM VERY DEAF. OKAY... NOW YOU HEARD ME ADMIT IT... LOL!!!
I NOW HAVE TWO HEARING AIDS AND I LOVE THEM AND I WILL NOT LEAVE WITHOUT THEM.
ALSO THROUGHOUT MY JOURNEY TO A BETTER HEALTH AND FITNESS LIFESTYLE, I MET SEVERAL "AWWWESOME" PEOPLE WHO ALSO BECAME MY PERSONAL COACHES. I AM NOW DOING "YOGA" AND "RUNNING" WITH MY NEW FRIEND & COACH, CHRISTI. AND I AM ALSO DOING "ZUMBA FITNESS" WITH 2 OTHER NEW FRIENDS, CINDI & CARLA. AND I AM BACK IN "BALLROOM & LATIN DANCING" WITH MY GOOD FRIEND FROM 2007, CHESTER.
WITH ALL THIS COMBINED I AM ON MY WAY TO A BETTER AND HEALTHIER LIFESTYLE!!!
MY CURRENT WEIGHT TODAY:
261LBS!!!
I'M OFFICIALLY IN THE "100 POUND CLUB!!!"
AND I'M NOT STOPPING THERE. I'M GOING FOR THE "150 POUND CLUB" BECAUSE I HEARD A RUMOR THAT THE PEOPLE IN THAT CLUB HAVE "SINGLE DIGIT BODY FAT PERCENTAGE!!!"... SO I'VE HEARD... AND THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY TO FIND OUT... LOL!!!
HERE IS TODAY'S "KATCH-MCARDLE RESULT"
I'M ALSO SHARING THESE PICS TOO:
NECK: 17 INCHES!!!
BICEPS: 16 INCHES!!!
WAIST: 43 INCHES!!!
RUNNING WITH MY TEAMMATES, "TEAM AWWWRITE!!!"
BETHEL, ALASKA WITH 9 DEGREES TEMPERATURE ON FROZEN TUNDRA!!!
(TRAINING FOR AN UPCOMING 5K RUN IN THE SUMMER!!!)
I AM FEELING VERY PROUD OF MY ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND NOT DO I ONLY OWE TO MYSELF BUT I ALSO OWE IT TO ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE STOOD MY MY SIDE IN "MIND, BODY, AND SPIRIT!!!"
I WANT TO THANK EVERY ONE OF YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED LOVE & SUPPORT TOWARDS MY GOAL TO A LIVING A BETTER AND HEALTHIER LIFESTYLE SO I CAN BE AN "AWWWESOME" ROLE MODEL TO EVERYONE AROUND ME!!!
FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART,
"I LOVE YOU!!!"
AWWWRITE!!!
