Introduction Text The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Lao Tzu My body is beginning to win! I'm a little teapot- short and stout! I am a photographer with a B.A in Psychology. The love of my life, Andy, and I own a wedding photography business. I speak some Spanish- we had the opportunity to live and study in Spain and LOVED IT. I am interested in ballet, all kinds of music, becoming a competitive runner, and more than my mind can think of right now. I am DONE DONE DONE: Being the fat sister Being the fat daughter Being the fat girlfriend and mother Being unable to wear anything I want Being uncomfortable in my own skin Being unhappy during summer months wishing I had lost the weight before then Waiting for my life to start Waiting for things to change! (They certainly don't on their own!) ----------------------------- Random things: 1. I broke my pelvis snowboarding when I was 19. 2. I visit NYC at least once a year with Andy for our anniversary. 3. I am a great baker. 4. I tell people I look like a VS model under my clothes. 5. I am 27 as of January 2011, ahh! 6. www.facebook.com/normandashley ----------------------------- One of my biggest inspirations is my boyfriend Andy. He ran a marathon and is constantly undertaking new challenges and accomplishing things. I know that I need to take control of my life, and SP is helping me do that. I like making new friends. I want to be motivated by people on here and I like to think I help motivate others. I think about the not so distant future and think about today and how the choices I am making now will affect the future. I KNOW that I can do this. And do this I will. SW=198 GW=135 or less (135 is the high end of healthy...) Gold medals don't make champions . . . hard work does.

1. I want to complete a 10K in March 2011 2. I want to wear a bikini in June 2011 3. I want to be a role model for my two sons. 4. I want to be dead sexy, always.

1. I am sticking to my calorie budget (1200-1550), I do this by measuring out food and calculating calories BEFORE I eat it. We do the majority of cooking at home. 2. I am getting exercise at least 3 days a week, but working on 5 days a week. 3. I am using a HR monitor (Polar HR monitor) to monitor my HR and calorie expenditure while I exercise. I love this because I know exactly how much energy I am expending during workouts- I got my HR monitor on ebay (brand new) for much cheaper than you can find at a sporting goods store.

I'm 5'3, but some times stretch to 5'4. (well that's what my drivers license says!) I am the tallest girl in my family. My mom and sister are thin and fit and for some reason can do that naturally. I am starting all of this at 198, and hope to be between 110-135 by the end of it. I love to read, write, sing, make up my own raps, draw, paint. I own a photography business and love photo-journalism.

You just gotta ignite the light And let it shine Just own the night Like the Fourth of July Cause baby you're a firework Come on show 'em what your worth Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!" As you shoot across the sky-y-y ~Katy Perry
