What I looked like in 1994.

Thanks for viewing this post! We just arranged things on the blog and I put in an old picture. What's important about this is that I weighed just about the same as I weigh in the latest picture. But what a difference! In 1994 I had spent about a year on a no fat diet and was wearing size 16-18 in clothes. Soon after I started to gain weight again and then in 2001 I began to work with Dr. Diana Schwarzbein to get my metabolism working. It's been a long journey including working with a trainer for several years, "debugging" my gut and just overall trying.

The biggest part of my life that was missing was energy. I had been an adrenalin junky. I lived on diet coke and coffee. I had to have excitement or a crises at all times. My job as an Insurance Executive had been 24/7 and I went until I could no longer go and then slept for a day or two, only to begin the excitement again. I had a "fire" in my belly! When in February of 2003 I retired from my day to day job, I was ready to go. Dr. Schwarzbein had taken me off all diet coke and coffee and was working to heal my "burned out" adrenals. Slowly they began to function again without the "fix" but I still had no energy.

It wasn't until September of 2006 when I found Glyconutritionals that I started to "wake up." I regained the "fire" in my belly without the chemical crutch and with the help of a great trainer, Justin Silver of Just Fitness in LaQuinta, CA, I started to lose serious inches. My body took over burning the fat correctly and the fat burned in places that had resisted burning before. You can't measure a double chin but you can see from the pictures that this is one of the most visible results of the Glyconutritionals because I was of a similar weight in 1994! Now, however, I wore size 12-14.

I could go on and on about my increase in energy but I'll save that for a later post. If you will respond to my posts we can make this a meaningful blog for everyone interested in having a life - healthy, wealthy and happy!
