Member Since: 1/19/2009

Fitness Minutes: 81,320

My Goals:
Maintenance within 5lbs +/- of 140lbs.

Fitness Goals
-Sub-25 minute 5k
-Sub-2:30 HM
-ST two times per week
-Try new things

My Program:
 Run 3 times per week, ST two times per week and HIIT and walks thrown in to round it out.

I cook and plan all of my meals during the weekends, so not wanting to cook/laziness is never a factor in making a bad choice. Also, I make foods that I like to eat (I'm a bit of a foodie) which makes it easier to chose what I have at home over a greasy drive-thru disaster.


Personal Information:
I'm a native Floridian and reside in central Florida though I did a three winter stint in Chicago. Miami grad - go 'Canes, - knitter, football and hockey fan, cook/baker.

    Thank you, sweetie, for the bloglove. I'm with you - I almost never appreciate the experience of a boxed cake or cookie that my memory tells me I'll feel. Meh is about all I can say - though one time I totally indulged in a blueberry donut - got all the joy and savored it in particular and ever since, I haven't had the craving - even though it really met all expectations.

    I guess I had the perfect donut experience ... what ... 6 years ago?

    Glad you liked the playhouse. Glad it's done, too. LOL. and that it turned out okay.

    Looking to stay focused through the upcoming Holiday Season? Want to get connected with a Team to support you through your Journey to a Healthier Lifestyle? If yes, then consider joining the Biggest Loser Challenge that starts in early December. Each week 10 teams of 24 Active members do fun nutritional and fitness challenges. The challenges promote a healthy lifestyle. If for some reason you cannot do a challenge, it can be modified to meet your needs. I hope that you decide this might be for you. If so, you can leave your name on the Wait List for the Winter challenge. To get to the List visit my page and click on the “BLUE BIGGEST LOSER” Icon; copy The Team Page Address below or let me know so I can send you an invitation. Join the Team then sign up on the waitlist. It’s the thread right below the Chit Chat thread.
    If searching through Spark enter Biggest Loser Winter Challenge All Teams.

    Thank you for the sweet goodie and kind words!

    I have a counselor I can see here through the VA for free. It's a long wait, but I was thinking of making an appointment just to keep me okay and together for the rest of the gang.

    I really appreciate you taking the time to reply and give me support and encouragement. I worry about that girl!
