Road Under Construction
My vision: to achieve an optimal weight for long term health, supported by regular, challenging exercise and wholesome foods that fuel for my body.
My philosophy: Suck it up Buttercup! Change=hard work. Consistency and determination will only get you half way, you still have to break a sweat.
2013 goal - break thru the 200 lb line and enter one-derland! My 2012 low was 222, I'm ready to blow the doors off that number!

My vision: to achieve an optimal weight for long term health, supported by regular, challenging exercise and wholesome foods that fuel for my body.
My philosophy: Suck it up Buttercup! Change=hard work. Consistency and determination will only get you half way, you still have to break a sweat.
2013 goal - break thru the 200 lb line and enter one-derland! My 2012 low was 222, I'm ready to blow the doors off that number!
2012 goal - go from being a walker to a runner.
2012 result - I can actually run! Not very far or very long, but I can do it. About a quarter mile non-stop was my personal best this year.
October 2011 - I love what this blogger wrote so much that I had to post it where I'll see it all the time! "I am training for a lifestyle marathon: It's not 26.2 miles, but hopefully 26.2 years or more. My viewpoint and decisions must be for the long haul, and not simply something to push me to the end of the weight loss portion of my change; or else I have failed." -THETURTLEBEAR
I have determined that High Fructose Corn Syrup is poison. POISON!
Anything containing HFCS is not food. Don't eat it, don't drink it, and for heaven's sake don't BUY it!
It's E-V-I-L. Period.
HFCS effects you on a molecular level. It gets in your brain. It lights up all your feel-good receptors like Times Square on New Years Eve, and then when you crash, you become a desperate drug addict looking for another fix, then another, then another. I'm not too keen on regular corn syrup either.
My current journey down weight loss hill began again May 17, 2011 Never, never, never give up is my motto. It's not how many times you fall down, it's how many times you get back up!
I just want to lose 10%, and then lose another 10% and keep doing that over and over.
I topped out at 311 lbs back in 2002 and have been as low as 228 in 2008. But I was back up to almost 270 after a long, grey frustrating winter of bingeing. I'm continually learning about myself from my failures. This time I'm making a point to avoid High Fructose Corn Syrup, wherever it hides.
Hello, my name is Blossom2344 and I'm a food addict.
My goal is to lose half my body weight.
I don't know how long this will take as I've lost 50-60 lbs a couple times before, and then stalled for months on end. Sometimes it's an attack of life that gets in my way, sometimes I get in my own way. This time I'm doing it the Spark way!
