I lost 4lbs this week! I feel much more motivated and I am really determined to reach my goal. I watched a show on Oprah this week where she had the Dove over 50 ladies on and other older women. The women were just inspiring! I want to be fit and healthy and full of energy as I get older, not draggin around like I have been.

I have been reading up more on inflammation and how it relates to health. I have several auto-immune diseases, all inflammatory,  and lots of food and chemical allergies. I also have a strong family history of diabetes, heart disease and early onset Alzhiemers. With everything I am reading I can see that inflammation is a big part of that disease process. Also the stress that I have been under for the last couple of years causes inflammation. No wonder I’ve been feeling so miserable and that I just can’t lose the weight!

So I am going shopping this morning to buy up on some anti inflammatory foods and to get some fish oil supplements. If I don’t make all these health changes now it will get harder and harder. So this week I am focusing on ding daily exercise and relaxation, adding food supplements and preparing good healthy meals.

Here a few links to some of the articles I have been reading:
