Ch-ch-ch-changes . . .
I am coming up on my 2 year Sparkaversary, and I'm not where I thought I'd be. I lost almost 35 pounds the first time around, but I gained most (but not all!) of it back. I hate knowing that I'm one of "those" people. But change is on the horizon. I'm being moved from my current position as an elementary librarian to high school ESL teacher. I figure if I'm already in the change mode, might as well go for it in other areas too! So I'm officially starting over. This is Day 1 of my journey ...
I am coming up on my 2 year Sparkaversary, and I'm not where I thought I'd be. I lost almost 35 pounds the first time around, but I gained most (but not all!) of it back.

I figure if I'm already in the change mode, might as well go for it in other areas too! So I'm officially starting over. This is Day 1 of my journey to better health, nutrition, and weight loss. I have sources of support, things that motivate me, and a plan. I just have to put it into action!
"To be nobody but yourself--in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else-- means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting."

“Time is limited, so I better wake up every morning fresh and know that I have just one chance to live this particular day right, and to string my days together into a life of action, and purpose.”

“And we will run to undo the damage we’ve done to body and spirit. We will run to find some part of ourselves yet undiscovered. Together, we will continue our odyssey of affirmation.”

My Goals:
Long term - to lose 80 pounds
To become a runner - I want to run a half marathon in Niagara Falls in a year
To fit into a pair of Zumba pants
To take a family picture and like the way I look in it!
My Program:
I completed the C25K program once before and ran several successful 5Ks and one 10K. I am going to restart the program so I can get back to where I was before, and beyond!
I also LOVE Zumba, and try go to class 2 or 3x a week. I have the Wii Zumba game, and sometimes try to get an extra workout in that way.
I need to start a regular strength training program.
I also need to start a meal plan and stick to it! I recently started using a product called Bod-e Burn. It's a nutritional supplement, and it comes with an easy to follow meal plan. Time to change things up and get it started!
