HEIDI.CARROLL
I am 41 years old, mother of 2 boys(men) ages 20 and 22. I have worked in law enforcement & public safety for 15 years, and am currently a emergency vehicle dispatcher for the Department of the Navy.
My boyfriend and I live in a small town in southern Maryland, its just us and the dog & cat these days, the kids pop in from time to time.
I have always been a big girl/woman, and its limited me in some ways, but at the same time I never felt that I had limits, that was at lease until I broke an ankle, then came the herniated disks in my back. I came to realize that the weight is more than my frame can bare, and I am no longer happy with my self image.
I have spent years making sure everyone else is taken care of and now its my turn to do something good for myself. I used to enjoy lots of sports and outdoor activities, but over the past 10 years I have had various injuries and the pounds just piled on, now I'm lost inside my own body, and I want out!
I want to do the things I used to do, and then some, would really love to try sky diving and scuba diving. If my back, knees and ankles will let me I plan on taking up kick boxing again, I miss it terribly.
My current exercise consists of walking the dog and the occasional fishing and camping trip, and needless to say I AM BORED!!!
So here I go, on another great adventure!
