Half-Time for Cozycroft


As I head toward the second half of a century I realize that I have spent the last 30 plus years living for everyone else but myself. I have few true friends and little motivation to get out and about. Much of this stems from my weight gain (I currenlty wiegh 270 lbs.) over the years which I have been unable to get under control. It is my turn now! My goal is to start my 50's healthier and happier!

Member Since: 7/3/2011

Fitness Minutes: 148

My Goals:
My goal is to eat healthier, exercise more and create a better environment for myself and my family.

My Program:
 Currently I am trying to stick to eating between 1300 and 1600 calories per day.

I am not drinking sodas.

I am waling for at least ten minutes a day.


Personal Information:
I live in south central Wisconsin, with a 30 year visit to Texas and a year in Nashville area. I love animals although we can't have them right now. I am single with two children living at home (14 & 20). I am currently looking for a job and using my free time to get back on track with my life.

Other Information:
 I enjoy music, theatre, travel, books, cooking, etc. but sometimes have to be encouraged to get out and do things. I am very shy when taken out of my environment and comfort zone.

    Just stopping by to say Hi and see how you're doing. I'm so glad the temps are finally warming up a bit. Hopefully the trend will continue. Have a wonderful weekend and Easter.

    Hi, thanks for visiting my blog. After reading your info, here are a few tricks that have worked for me--2 bite rule, with kids it is a numbers game. So we have the 2 bite rule, the first one is to cleanse your pallet, the second is to truly taste the food, then if you truly don't like it you don't have to eat it. It is amazing how many food they suddenly like=)

    On the eating I looked at my calorie range, went to the middle which is 1500, and broke it down in 4 ways, I happen to REALLY need an afternoon snack, so mine goes like this, 400/400/300/400. It makes it much easier to plan, because I have an idea of what calories I need to be within. But once a week I give myself an 1800 calorie day, normally Saturday or Sunday, because I want to focus on the family, so that day looks more like this
    400/500/300/600. Good luck to you, let me know if I can help.

    I live in Cedar Rapids, Iowa--and we get to Wisconsin a few times a year,my hubby will actually be in Milwaukee next week for work, maybe we can meet up=)

    Hugs,

    Hattie

    Welcome to the site. At my highest I was just pounds away from 250, so I can definitely relate. My time was devoted to my family and my job, and I didn't focus on myself enough. I lost over 50 on my own before I found SP, and have lost over 20 since being here. I feel so much better now, though I still need to lose more. Good luck to you. I hope you find what you need to succeed. emoticon
