I'm working on taking better care of myself again. My goal is to be as healthy as I can. It's frustrating to be back at the larger size but I know that I can do better. I've got to manage stress better and make the commitment to consistently CHOOSE health over comfort. I joined SparkPeople on March 1, 2010. While recovering from badly broken bones, tibia/fibula, I managed to become stronger, leaner, and healthier. With hard work and with the help of Spark People, I lost over 20 pounds. I can be stronger and leaner again! Previous Goals: 1. Heal from broken leg enough to walk without crutches. Achieved March 5, 2010 2. Gain strength and stamina to be able to walk a 25 min mile. Achieved approx. March 10, 2010 3. Gain strength and stamina to be able to walk a 20 min mile. Achieved March 24, 2010 4. Gain stength and stamina to be able to walk a 15 min mile. Achieved 05/12/2010

My goals are to become stronger, leaner, and healthier through exercise, good nutrition, and sound health choices. For 2014 Participate in a 5K Run an entire 5K Be able to run a 12 min mile Be able to run faster than a 12 min mile Run in a longer race (8K, 10K) Decide if I may want to run an Half Marathon

I'm eating more fruits and vegetables, consuming less sugar. Cardio: 1. 200 mins per week. 2. On rest days, do some type of activity for at least 10 minutes, even if it's marching in place. Strength Training: 3 times per week.

I live in the Southern United States. I like to read, write, knit, crochet and I'm interested in photography and genealogy. I'm married with one child. I used to be a creative person but I think I tried to be more "normal." I'm working on bringing out that side of myself again.

Like everyone else, I'm a work-in-progress.
