2-20-13 Confessions.

While I'm not great at keeping my SparkPage up to date, I have continued to be very active on the site over the past year. Unfortunately, I also allowed myself to become lackadaisical about my food choices. What harm can a few cheese and crackers before dinner do? What's wrong with a few chips at lunch? The problem is nothing if it's an exception, but definitely something once it becomes a habit! The result is close to 20 pounds that need to go to get back to where I was.

Since the new year I have been back on track, healthy eating, lots of exercise. Unfortunately the weight has not decided to follow my lead so far. :( But rather than throw in the towel, I am determined to keep on track.

1-1-11 New Year update.

It's been a slow last few months, concluded with my Dad dying the Saturday before Christmas. Put a crimp in my exercise routine to say the least. But I did climb a 46er in the fall and continue to make progress - or at least not regress.

Lost weight - 80 pounds
Lost body fat - 51 pounds
Lost inches - 50

Birthday update! Still going in the right direction.

Lost weight - 74 pounds
Lost body fat - 48 pounds
Lost inches - 48.25

One year anniversary of my commitment to a healthier me, February 22. Giving myself a pat on the back! A full year of consistent progress in the right direction!

Lost weight - 65 pounds
Lost body fat - 40 pounds
Lost inches - 43.5
Found energy - seemingly infinite!

Looks like I am well on my way to climbing Rocky Peak Ridge this summer!
