Profile Information

About Me:
On a journey to lose 100+.
I started 2008 by joining Slim4Life. With that program I was able to drop 40 pounds in 4 months. But mentally it was destroying me. I had to find a different way of getting the weight off.
Then I discovered intuitive/normal eating. By learning to listen to my body again I am still losing weight. I may be losing it slower but I am happier.
I am training to walk 1/2 marathon in October.
My goal is to reach a healthy weight and break the diet, lose, and gain cycle.
Plan of Choice:
Other
Workout Philosophy:
I'm a walk-a-holic

Bumps in the Road

We all experience them...bumps in the road. They happen in all aspects of our life. It is how we deal with them that determine on how much they affect us.
Honestly in the past I was a very black and white person. If the plan was to do "a" and something happened that would not allow me to do "a" then I wouldn't do anything. In fact, I really didn't acknowledge that there could be another option.
Luckily, I now have a lot more grey in my life. I think I had to find this grey in order to stay sane.… Continue

I have a good excuse....

truly I do have a good excuse for being MIA. For some reason at work I can still access the site but it is in text format. WEIRD. If anyone has any clues as to why this is happening let me know.

I eventually will need to suck it up and just deal with the way I view it at work if I ever want to be a regular blogger.

So what's been happening...
my walking is going great and I have officially started my 1/2 marathon training. Bought a new pair of walking shoes and some high-tech socks. New stuff… Continue

Focus on the Positive!

So I am borrowing this idea from Michelly.

One thing I like about my body:
My curves. I love that I have a curvy figure.

One thing I like about my personality:
I can get along with most anyone.

Three things I am thankful for today:
1) Good times with friends (lunch with my co-worker friend today and hanging out scrapbooking with my friends tomorrow night) :)
2) Beautiful sunny weather-had lunch outside today...it was perfect
3) Fresh fruit-I just stocked up yesterday-cherries, bananas, strawb… Continue

Random Question-Driver's License

I was noticing I will have to renew my driver's license this year.

Which leads me to my random question....

Is the weight on your driver's license accurate?

Was it accurate when you got your latest driver's license?

And if you are feeling brave...how many pounds would you have to drop to have the license reflect your real weight.

My answers are

No it's not accurate
Nope, I don't think so
Approximately 20lbs.

Thanks for your kind words :) I'm waiting until September to sign up for a 5K -- it's the South here and hot and humid as all get out :) But yes, I'm looking forward to my first race, although I'm almost certain to not share it with my local friends until after the fact ... fear of failure, perhaps? I admit, it still doesn't seem real that I'm a runner :D

Hi Jeni! I'm glad to find someone else who is in training. We've been training since MARCH to get our speed up and the staying power needed for the whole 13.1 miles. Let's keep each other posted on our progress :)

Our original weights are similar. My highest was 263... actually I made the -50 pound mark TODAY. Ha! I'm working toward losing 100. Nice to "meet" you :).
