Introduction Text I am a PhD student striving to offset the many hours I spend sitting at the lab bench with an active lifestyle. Getting outside during the loooonnnggg days of summer in the sub-arctic is definitely not a problem...it's the oh-so-short (sometimes non-existent) daylight hours at 20 to 40 below zero in the winter that present the true challenge!

My main goal is to get my physical self to a point where it is not limiting my inner self. I would like to be able to ski, skate, and sled down huge hills in the winter without worrying about whether I can make it!

I am currently following the SparkPeople program and I am adding exercise back into my life by going to my college's rec center and generally trying to lead a more active lifestyle.

I live in Fairbanks Alaska and am a graduate school student in anthropology. I really love it up here but managed to gain a lot of weight after we first moved here from Florida. Going from being able to walk out the door with no prep to needing to prep for about 20 minutes to get out the door really makes a difference.
