UPDATE February 15, 2012:

I have seen so many of you put your races and race schedule here, and I am going to do the same (I like that it makes me feel like a for real runner! :)

In 2012 I want to stick to a programme of healthy eating, no smoking, and consistant working out. I am normally an all or nothing kind of girl, and I attack things with a vengance, only to die out and lose interest in a month or so. This is the cycle that I need to acknowledge and break. I joined Sparkpeople in 2008, but only tried to follow for about 2 weeks... October 2011 I saw a picture of myself that made me cringe, and something (luckily) brought me back here!

GOALS for 2012:

I would really like to run the Bermuda Day 1/2 Marathon in May, so I know that I need to get training!

This summer, I want to be able to be excited about going out and rafting up in the boats, because I know I don't have to hide my body. I am DONE hiding and covering up.

I want to be FIT. I am 5'11" so I am never going to be a tiny girl, but I want to have a fit body that I can be proud of.

I want to stop smoking for good! This one is hard. I started smoking at 13, and I have been a dedicated heavy smoker ever since. I am using e-cigarettes with no nicotine to help me, but I need to stick to it!

Guess thats all for now! :)

My Goals:
I want to get down to my goal weight, and then STAY there. I am the quintessential yo-yo dieter, and I go up and down about 40 lbs every 2 or so years. Now, after reading tonnes of Spark Peoples pages, I am determined not just to be thinner, but fitter and better than any of the other times I have lost the weight. I think that that will be the key to staying down there.

My Program:
 I am training for a 1/2 Marathon in May. I will be completing C25K in a week or so, and then on to my 12 week programme for the 1/2. I am still waiting to "love" running like so many other people. It has not happened yet, but at this point I am just going to keep on trucking.

Personal Information:
I am 32 years old, and from the island of Bermuda. I am divorced, and currently live with my boyfriend of 2 years. I am close with my family (I sell cars for my brother and mothers dealership), and love spending time with friends. I also love to cook, read, and try anything new.

emoticon Happy BELATED Birthday, DONE GIRL emoticon

The Virgo girl is born to a mother who isn't happy with the money the father makes, so the child grows up in a family with a critical parent, so she learns to be critical especially of herself. The father is a good man but rather passive so the shy little Virgo child goes inward for quiet as she doesn't like over-stimulation. She learns to be frugal as money has always been a worry in the home. She doesn't want to be criticized so she works hard to always be ready so she isn't found unprepared. This leads to a lot of stress for the Highly Sensitive Person. Virgo needs alone time and rest. Virgo works well behind the scene helping others look good
Virgo gets along with Pisces, Cancer, Capricorn, taurus and Scorpio, but when a relationship goes bad she will walk out and not look back as she is very capable of living on her own. She often finds a man who is the "bad boy" so she can try to improve or change him, but that doesn't work since he finds her a "nag". She is better off staying with intellectual men who want to be a success and finding one she can help get to the top.
Weight can be an issue for her as she can turn to sweets for comfort, but her sign rules the Sixth House of Health, so she makes a good nurse caring for others. She LOVES to show others the right way to live, so she can be a health coach.
The symbol for Virgo is the Virgin, denoting the puritanical demeanor usually common to those of this sign.
In Virgo the Sun is orderly and thoughtful. With the Sun in Virgo you are predisposed to be hardworking, conscientious, and well-organized. Modest, discriminating and thorough, everything you do, you do well. Practical and down to earth, you are a diligent worker with a competent, discriminating intellect. You are highly analytical and exacting, especially adapted to handling projects with painstaking perfection. Thus, you are fond of good workmanship and the utmost in quality. You are dependable because your approach is always one based on common sense and a realistic and analytical assessment of the problem.
You give much attention to detail, but you can carry this to extremes, becoming fussy and critical, sometimes interfering. Large-scale projects can overwhelm you because of your insistence on perfection. Unless you can deliver such quality, you may become frustrated and discouraged. There is always the tendency and danger with Virgo that the big picture idea will be missed in search of minute details. You expect yourself and everyone around you to be perfect, often setting yourself up for disappointment. Your outlook is too negative and picky sometimes.

Modest and unassuming, you are usually content to live in the background. Your attitude, at times, can become puritanical and prudish. You consider yourself an ordinary person, and you are never given to any airs of pretentiousness or showing off. There may be a tendency for you to see your role as one of service and "behind the scenes" support activity.

You have a serious attitude toward refining your mind and acquiring knowledge. With your highly varied interests, you can gain a remarkable amount of data about different subjects. You instinctively know that you must grasp all parts before you can fully understand the whole. Systematizing and detail organization are your strengths. You are idealistic, but always practical and reasonable. You're not likely to make general statements based on too few facts.
You may be somewhat health conscious, for you have an instinctive sense of balance in diet. You're very sensible in taking care of your health, and for that matter, the health of others. Often, the Virgo becomes exceptionally neat and orderly, even a bit neurotic about cleanliness. You're likely to be susceptible to stress related problems because you do tend to worry too much.
