Introduction Text I am hoping this site is able to get me motivated again to achieve my weight loss goals. I started SP in Sept 2008, and it has motivated me to work out more than I would have ever thought. 11/08- This so far has been a great journey. I have a new attitude on life and working out. In November I got to meet Chalene the creator of Turbo Jam. It was AWESOME to say the least. That alone has motivated me to want to work out and be a better person. My attitude and perspective on things has greatly changed since I started sparks. I really did not think that I would loose weight, as I had failed so many other times to get below the 160 mark, but right now I am teetering to get into the 150's. I have not been there for 10+ years. This program is making rethink about what I put in my mouth. I have now realized that is does matter how many calories you put in your mouth, even if you had a super tough work out. I am making myself accountable. I am making a change. December 17,2008 began Chalean Extreme December 31,2008- ran my first 5K at Midnight to bring in the new year. Time 33 minutes 12 seconds ( 5.5mph pace) January I really decided to kick it up a notch with my running. The last week of January launched my official 12 wk training to get my 5k time under 30 minutes. Wish me luck!! I also was able to break out of the 150's and get into the 140's this month. I have never in my adult life been in this weight category, although I am not really planning on staying here for too long. March- Now I am almost finished with CE. I am really ready to be done and get back into heavy cardio again for some time to see if I can loose my final few pounds. I am so close to goal. March 1,2009 was the first time that I ran 4 miles non stop. Every few weeks I can go a little further. This is so exciting to me as I have never been able to do this before. I am now looking towards a 10k training program as my next step, and maybe even a HM. Thanks for my SP friends I have the courage to try and do more, and succeed. Without this place I know I would still be struggling. 1-08 183 ( Before SP) 9-08 165 10-08 163 12/08 157.4 01/09 153.2 2/09 149.8 3-09 146.8 4-09 146.6 ( rough month not much change) 5/09 148.8- hitting a rough patch with a little increase 2009 Race results: Couch potato 5k 29:28 ( garmin time 28:32) Oregon 5K 27:41 Fostoria 5K 28:29 2010 This is a new year, and I am really going to make it to goal this year. I am training for my first HM in April, and my body is not liking it. In August 2009 I tore my hamstring and had to make it through a 16 week recovery. I am still working on getting back to where I was weight wise, and also speed and endurance.

I am at my lowest adult weight yet. I want to make sure that I can maintain this for the rest of my life. I am taking this plan now 1 lb at a time. This is my life now, not just a short term fix.

I love turbo jam video's and Jillian MIchaels. I try to get in 5 days a week. In Oct 08 I have added Jari Love Ripped to my workouts. They are excellent with strength and burning calories. I am averaging 450-600 calories per day. Now I have added Jackie Warner to the cycle of videos Dec 17,2008- Chalean Extreme Jan 09- added running into rotation! April 09- My program is now 4 days a week running, 3 days a week Strength training, and 2 days of additional cardio



I am determined to do it this time. I will get it right this time!!!
