Introduction Text January 2020 update: I've been stumbling all over the place. Looking at my 2019 goal - it was not met. I'm carrying it over to 2020: Build more activity into every day. January 2019 update: Still working on those last 10 lbs... 2018 was a lazy year, as far as physical activity goes. I'm lucky I was able to maintain. I'll be building more activity into my days in 2019. Strategy is to plan it, schedule it, do it! January 2018 update: 10 unwanted pounds have found their way back onto my hips and thighs... Goal is to lose those again. It's slow going. Member since March 2007. Thanks SparkPeople for getting me off the endless yo-yo rollercoaster. 10+ years and counting. I started my SparkJourney in March 2007 when I was 10 lbs away from my goal weight. Prior to finding SP I had lost 30 lbs doing WW online but was unable to lose the last 10. After 6 years of fine-tuning, trial and error, I finally reached my ultimate weight goal in early 2013, and am now maintaining within a +/- 3% radius. I'm hanging out and hanging in, still fine-tuning as I go. Maintenance does not mean you have it all figured out...

Balance.

1. Eat mostly clean and unprocessed I believe there are no "forbidden foods". Instead I am focusing on the quality of what I eat. 2. Drink plenty of water This has been a challenge - always. 3. Be active Zumba, yoga, and hiking are my favorite pastimes. 4. Get enough sleep Goal is 8 hours. 5. Manage stress My stress managing methods are exercise, music, and meditation/yoga. 6. Positive attitude Turn can't into can, and don't into do. 7. Gratitude Appreciate who I am, where I am, and what I can do.
