New Plan...

I left things off kind of undecided but in the end I think I have a new plan.  With the help of the UofM Bariatric Conditioning program I will complete an eight week, personalized training plan that will educate me, address all areas of my body that need to decrease fat and increase muscle that I've lost, and get me started.  The idea is to get me knowledgeable with a program that I can do at my own gym and help me with both accountability and maintenance.  

Bonuses to choosing this program-

• The price tag isn't bad
• UofM Bariatric Conditioning program is in Ann Arbor (not too far away)
• The people who run the program deal with people my size on a regular basis
• The program isn't solely relying on the people running it, I actually have to teach myself to make working out a part of my daily schedule. 

We did research personal training otherwise and the price was just too much for us right now.  What has this taught me?  Thinking about my entire scenario, I really wish I would have started this sooner.  For years I tried many solutions but always said I couldn't afford a workout program like this but the truth is EVERYONE should have access to a program like this.  Especially if you are in the situation I'm in!  We need to pressure our insurance agencies, government oversight groups, and the health industry to support healthy solutions to losing weight (the alternative to a surgery that has risk, and life long complications). Speaking to some of the business owners that have personal training companies, they wish the health industry and insurance companies would fold them into the mix of weight lose solutions because their businesses would do MUCH better and it would add a surge of economic development in this field.  

That is the plan!  "Check in" with me to see how I'm doing.
