First, the easy stuff. My favorite things include knitting, sitting by the stove on a cold wintry day, and reading. I am a couch potato, although I'll take my bentwood rocker over a couch any day.
I joined SparkPeople with the idea that I could get down to a nice slender weight. My BMI is okay, but it could be lower and still be in the normal category. And with a potentially arthritic hip, less weight is a good thing. I love the idea of C25K, but my hips won't tolerate a ...
First, the easy stuff. My favorite things include knitting, sitting by the stove on a cold wintry day, and reading. I am a couch potato, although I'll take my bentwood rocker over a couch any day.
I joined SparkPeople with the idea that I could get down to a nice slender weight. My BMI is okay, but it could be lower and still be in the normal category. And with a potentially arthritic hip, less weight is a good thing. I love the idea of C25K, but my hips won't tolerate a gentle jog across the yard, so I'm not about to embark on a schedule of torture. I may flirt with the idea every once in a while and jog for 30 seconds or so, but I am still limping away from those flirtations.
I love timelines, so here's a shot at one:
March 1, 2010 - 148.6 (gotta love that digital scale)
April 13, 2010 - joined SP at 141
June 2, 2010 - 135 lbs
July 26, 2010 - 129.8 lbs
And now, maintenance. I wouldn't mind losing some more, but between 125-130 seems to be a decent weight for me. A BMI under 20 sounds like a nice idea ... but there is such a thing as too thin, and I think 120 lbs would be it for me.
....
February 2011 - 136 lbs
April 20, 2011 - 130 lbs
July 6, 2011 - 137 lbs
(ick, ick, ick)

My Goals:
Maintenance! Or rather, decreasing back to my maintenance weight.
My Program:
Eat healthy. I think I eat fairly close to what people are calling 'eating clean'. I want to keep up with eating fruits and veggies, and not worry so much about the calories from yummy homemade bread from freshly ground flour, too.
Strength training (wimpy, because I am a couch potato) 3x/wk. (doing horribly on this.)
Walking when the weather and bugs permit - a mile or two at a time.
Personal Information:
Minnesota, USA
Homemaker, Master Knitter, Homeschooler, and much more!
