I'm a professional vocalist and I was horrified when I saw a video clip of myself. I Looked 8 months pregnant- no KIDDING! It was the slap I needed to wake me up that not only have I let myself go- but I have been missing out on many things I used to really enjoy. So...I know it's gonna be a long up hill battle but I will go from 210 to 130! Excited to be looking at a new lifestyle...also excited to work my way BACK through my clothing from size 18 to size 6(REALLY looking forward to the money I can make selling the larger sizes on eBAY too! LOL)

SparkPoints: 25,917
Fitness Minutes: 24,520
My Goals:
Overall I want to lose 80 pounds! BUT- I also want to be able to do my favorite hikes(one of which is a mile straight down then back up again at better than 45 degrees- so you're literally climbing and rapelling at points. Hmmm...I also want to be able to incorporate choreography into my singing without having to gasp for breath...Oh an I am challenging my 65 year old dad to lose weight so I need to set a good example for him!
My Program:
10,000 steps per day
a minimum of 360 minutes of cardio per week
avg of 1400-1700 calories consumed per day:
50% from complex carb
25% from "healthy" fat and lean protein
strength training 3 times per week with fitness ball, assorted weights, resistance bands, DVD's etc
Personal Information:
I am from the south originally but 7 years ago I got married -now I live and work in San Francisco. I'm 43 and am a professional vocalist! My name is Paula and my website is www.paulaharrismusic.com PLEASE feel free to stop by and say HI- you can also add your email t my mailing list if you wanna be updated whenever I am doing a show near you!
Other Information:
I have always been a slender person until i got married. My lifestyle changed significantly at that point. I was travelling because my then fiancee lives west coast and I on east so the time I spent exercising dwindled to nothing. I also stopped singing 3-6 mights a week(which burns off anywhere from 600-1000 calories a night) to spend time with him. On top of that my diet changed- I lived on salad and fish...My hubby, like most men is meat and potatos...so. One day i woke up and was literally double the woman I used to be. My hubby understands that I am getting fit and healthy again and he either eats what i cook now- or he fixes his own. Ya gotta do whatcha gotta do ya know?
