The Journey
I have a hundred pounds to lose, chronic pain to manage, and a lot of determination to spend more quality time with my family over the years to come.
Some important things Spark People is teaching me (I will add to this as the messages make it through my hard-head. I'm stubborn.)
1. Food is FUEL. [Eat more healthy foods, add more nutrition. Stop thinking of what I shouldn't have and concentrate on what I NEED to have. It helps eliminate the bad habits without feeling ...

1. Food is FUEL. [Eat more healthy foods, add more nutrition. Stop thinking of what I shouldn't have and concentrate on what I NEED to have. It helps eliminate the bad habits without feeling deprived.]
2. I can do this. [Probably the four most important words in my vocabulary and they're tiny words in size... but huge in meaning.]

Current Goal Weight: 150 lbs.
In general, track all calories eaten, exercise consistently, drink 8 cups of water a day, and striving to get to 150 lbs.
My Program:
The Plan:
Find more FUN ways to get in physical activity as frequently as possible and include the kids!
Strength training at least 2 Xs a week.
Cardio at least 3 Xs a week.
Stick to calorie range provided by SparkPeople.
I've decided to attack my weight loss in chunks. 25 pounds at a time so that the task doesn't seem so daunting. A hundred pounds is pretty overwhelming to think about. Twenty-five seems a lot more manageable. I'll just do it four times. : )
Personal Information:
I was born in Southern Indiana. I have lived in Connecticut for four years now. My name is Coti Luttrell. I'm 33 years old. I'm unemployed, mostly due to the chronic pain. My current motto getting me through is that I am in pain if I work out and I am in pain if I don't, so I might as well be working out. At the least, working out regularly helps me be able to move more.
Other Information:
Knowledge of the self is the mother of all knowledge. So it is incumbent on me to know my self, to know it completely, to know its minutiae, its characteristics, its subtleties, and its very atoms. - Khalil Gibran
