Introduction Text Things Sparkpeople has taught me: 1) Never give up. 2) Misery may love company but being in the company of happy people (i.e. Sparkfriends) will get you through the misery. 3) Confidence is a learned trait and fake it until you make it! 4) Exercise really does make me happier (and healthier). 5) Weight loss, fitness and healthy living are a journey not a destination. I am on this journey for the long haul - I've left SP for months at a time and always come back. I would love some new Sparkfriends because a lot of folks left along the way and did not come back :( - and back to #2 I like the company for this journey!

2016 Goals: I am going to see if I can get to 140 lbs which would finally get me to a normal BMI for my age/height. I hate being short. Continue to run and compete in a 5k every other month. DONE: Hit 155 on 1/12/16 that's 70lbs in just over a year. Ran "Reindeer Run 5k" on 12/5/15 in 34.28 my personal best Ran "Run for Your Life": 5k in October 24, 2015 in 39.11 minutes my PB!

1) Low-carb (less than 30gm daily) High Fat (started on Rosedale Diet which is a Ketogenic promoting plan - have adapted it somewhat but still adhere to same principles) - eat clean, stop when I'm full, drinking lots of water. 2) Exercise 5 days a week at least 30 min, have started doing HIIT, plus whatever extra activity I can fit in. 3) Had to stop weighing weekly as it psyches me out! So now only 2x a month.
