Introduction Text I'm 25 years old. Female. 5'11". Live in Missouri. Love animals. Am ready to reach goals and fill my life with positive energy of all kinds. Yay life! --------------------------------------- I have recently officially been diagnosed with PCOS and am trying to heal myself naturally with my choice of diet. I have been vegetarian and then(now) vegan for a total of 8 or so years and am now trying to integrate more raw foods into my life. I like to research different foods and their healing properties and try to treat my body and any issues which arise in as natural way as I can. I love to hike, kayak, canoe, camp, ride bikes, and do just about anything outside. I feel most at peace with myself when I can be out in the natural world, especially near water. I'm currently finishing my Associate of Arts degree where I focused a lot on photography. It will be complete in may 2009 and then I plan to continue my education in order to work with helping animals. I'm exploring options in Non-Profit Administrative type work and love to volunteer hands-on with animals of all kinds. I hope putting these things together can lead me to a rewarding career in improving the lives of the non-humans we share this amazing planet with. I live with my partner Eric, adopted dog Lilly May, cat Roxanne, and newly adopted pup named Japser. I love my little family. Always an adventure around here! Anyway, hooray for life and for sparkpeople. I began my journey of January 20, 2009 and am aiming to lose 44lbs while gaining many other wonderful things. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 26th Birthday Challenge! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 08/16 (185) - 185lbs 08/23 (184) - 08/30 (183) - 09/06 (182) - 09/13 (181) - 09/20 (180) - 09/27 (179) - 10/04 (178) - 10/11 (177) - 10/18 (176) - 10/25 (175) - 11/01 (174) - 11/08 (173) - 11/15 (172) - 11/22 (171) - 11/29 (170) - 12/06 (169) - 12/13 (168) - 12/20 (167) - 12/27 (166) - 01/03 (165) - 01/10 (164) - 01/17 (163) - 01/24 (162) - 01/31 (161) - 02/07 (160) - 02/14 (160) - 02/21 (160) - 02/27 (160) -

I'm working to get all the right nutrients and staying within my nutrition goals. Getting my body moving. Way more hiking and such when the weather gets just a tad warmer.

I live in St. Louis, MO and usually like it. I one day hope to have some land and a greenhouse and room to roam and raise my kids. Have a place for everyone to run wild and free like I had at my grandma's as a kid.

I love to read memoirs and so called "self-help" books. Not big on new video games but I love the old NES and playing tetris now and then. Mostly I love all things outdoors. Nothing beats a day in the sunshine. --------- "Run when you can, walk if you have to, crawl if you must; just never give up. " -- Dean Karnazes
