Introduction Text After decades of struggling with my weight, I discovered SP, and lost almost 50 pounds. I've been maintaining the weight for several years now, but have found myself feeling a little complacent recently. Until the last week or so, my weight hasn't changed, and my clothes continued to fit, so it's been hard to push myself. But I'm feeling a little sluggish, my pants are a little tighter, and at my last doctor appointment, I was diagnosed with prediabetes. So now, with a new granddaughter to motivate me, I plan to take the very best care of myself. Starting tomorrow, I begin tracking my food and exercise again, so I can get myself in the best shape ever. Thin is not necessarily healthy! April and a 1/2 GOYAAM Action Plan Fitness 250 total fitness minutes per week, which will include at least 3 interval workouts per week. Nutrition -Recommit to drinking at least 9 glasses of water a day. -Squeeze in veggies and fiber wherever I can. -Dessert only once a week. (Still not consistent with this one.) Focus -Use my timer. Alternate active/still activities. -Meditate at least 4 times a week, on the days I don't do yoga. -Read from the Motivation Manifesto every night.

I just want to feel healthy, and confident. I want to be strong enough emotionally that I can face life's challenges without turning to food.

Lifestyle Changes: -Portion control -Water, water, water -Reduced "bad" carbs -More protein -More fruits & veggies -Some form of exercise most days. (Never skip 2 days in a row.)

I live in the middle of nowhere, in Central Illinois.

I teach junior high special education. It's quite a challenge and a big source of fuel for my emotional eating. However, it's incredibly rewarding, and the vacations aren't bad!!!
