At Age 53, I was 5’6 and 225 Pounds. If anyone told me I’d be hiking the Sugarloaf Mountain Trail in Boulder in 6 months, I wouldn’t have believed them. But I did that yesterday!
When my husband and I were younger, we planned to move to Boulder. We love the great outdoors and had always dreamed of living so close to hiking trails that we could go every weekend!
But I ruined our plans.
After all, I’ve given birth to 3 beautiful children, and each one added about 20 to my overall size. After every birth, I felt heavier and more tired.
Looking in the mirror filled me with disgust and shame.
It didn’t help that I love delicious food. But at 53 years old, healthy food isn’t exactly my priority.
My grandchildren didn’t want me to play because they knew I couldn’t keep up, and it wasn’t fun for them.
My friends didn’t invite me to do anything fun because I couldn’t even walk 30 steps without panting.
My husband began hiking alone because he’d have to ask hikers on the trail to help get me back home.
The worst part is that I saw it when he looked at me. I know he loved me, but I looked nothing like the woman he fell in love with. And I couldn’t blame him.
One day, it all changed…
While sitting on a park bench a friend called and mentioned she had dropped 4 dress sizes doing a “6-Second Pumpkin Seed Hack” daily, but I was skeptical!
Then, I saw a story on my news feed about a woman a bit older than me who lost over 100 pounds with the same “6-Second Pumpkin Seed Hack.”
I knew right away what I had to do.
But just to be sure, I set up a video call with my doctor.
I shared the “6-Second Pumpkin Seed Hack” with him, and he assured me it looked like a great option for me to try.
The results were remarkable!
My body started to shrink
The big ugly number dramatically declined
I had more energy
I could even fit into my pre-birth jeans
I had more of an appetite
The crazy part is that I ate whatever I wanted and still lost flab, thanks to my new “6-Second Pumpkin Seed Hack.”
I no longer feel like the person who sits on the sidelines while life passes her by.
Enjoying the outdoors is my new favorite activity. When I do decide to stay home, it’s because I want to spend quality time with my husband…
Today, I am not just lighter but healthier, happier, and more motivated than ever.
