Introduction Text Feb 2017 My name is Monique & I've been on SPARK since 2008. Take in fewer calories than you expend & you have a winning calculation for weight loss. Unfortunately for most of us there's more to it than a math equation. Math was never my strong suit anyway. I was able to lose 50 pounds last year. I started getting regular chiropractic care, I was eating better, I had a major stressor remove himself from my life, I was exercising harder & more frequently. And it worked. The planets aligned & the weight came off. I need to re-align my planets again. I've gotten off kilter & lost my way. I'd really like to be a LOT closer to my "ultimate goal" by my 10 year SPARK anniversary. That would make me feel like a Success Story. Other interesting tidbits: * I'm the Mom of one spoiled dog & 3 mostly grown boys * I'm a 8.5 year Survivor of Inflammatory Breast Cancer * I'm a an adult learner who got her Associate's in May 2017. * I help care for my 97 year old Grandmother with Alzheimer's * My knees are bone on bone

Edit 4.27.18 * Get 40 miles in one month on my Fitbit (ACHIEVED 12-2016) * Get 60 miles in one month * Walk a 5K (3.1 miles) * 315 (5% goal) by 12.25.15 (ACHIEVED 3-19-16) * 299 (10% goal) by 6.8.16 (ACHIEVED JUNE 2016) * 285 (15% goal) by 9.3.16 (ACHIEVED SEPT 2016) * 275 (The Power of 10!) * 270 (last seen in 1990!) * 256.5 * 243.5 * 231.5 * 219.5 * 208.5 * 198 (cough cough gasp!) ***LONG TERM Goal: Walk one half marathon!

I'm going to do it ALL! I'm going to try it all. * Walking is the big part of things. I need this not just for exercise but to maintain my mobility. * Water aerobics 2-3 times a week. * Dates with Leslie. * Trying Zumba (DONE! LOVE!!!) * Trying Hip Hop Dance * Trying Piloxing * Yoga at least once a week for flexibility * Strength training to keep my bones strong
