Happiness is a condition not a destination.

My name is Cassie Cottrill, I'm 21 years old. I'm in my Junior year of college. I also have a job that I work as many hours as possible at!

For as long as I can remember, I've also been referred to as pleasantly plump. However, I can remember in my early teen years that I had a healthy relationship with food. I ate until I was almost full and didn't eat a ton of sweets. However, as I enterered high school, I started stress eating and eventually gained weight. By my senior year I was overweight and unhappy with my body. This was the very first time I had taken any real steps toward improving my habits and I lost about 30-40 pounds and was about about 160.

Right after high school I got married and started college. I didn't realize just how big of a transition this would be or how difficult it would be to maintain my healthy lifestyle. Over time, i gained back all of my weight lost and then some. I wanted to get back on track so I would yo-yo diet often. It seemed like every week I was promising to do better but ended up doing worse than ever!

After my 21st birthday, I decided it would be an excellent idea to try to get back on track. This time was different because I grabbed a few friends and got everyone I knew involved! Now, I get in exercise as often as possible.

The biggest lesson I have learned so far is that, I'm happier when I'm on a sensible diet and exercise routine. I shouldn't change my lifestyle to loose weight (although it's an excellent plus), my lifestyle change should be because I want to be HAPPY! With that said, I'm learning how to balance good nutrition and not feel like I can't ever splurge.

WELCOME TO 50# CHALLENGE:

emoticon emoticon emoticon to the 50# challenge team. emoticon to have you!

A great time to get serious about reaching a healthier weight and lifestyle.

emoticon on taking that first step.

Tomorrow – Have a Plan – Stick With It!

Failure to plan is planning to fail.

Let your new spark friends help and inspire you to be the best you can be!

I see you haven’t written a blog in a while? Blogging is a great way to get your feelings down on paper. Others like to read them and offer insight along the way. ? It can be fun and makes you more accountable. At least it does me. I just posted over 300 blogs last year. Only missed a few days. It can be funny, tell us about your day, good or bad, about how your food choices went, what you did for exercise, stuff like that. It does not have to be weight related all the time. Just things you are thinking about, questions you might have.

Give it a try, you just might enjoy it. Look forward to seeing one from you.

emoticon


LET'S ROCK 2012~!

WISHING YOU A BLESSED NEW YEAR MY SPARK FRIEND!
