A year down and many more too go!

It's been just over a year since I started my journey, it's been a real eye opener to say the least. I've lost a total of 52 pounds and I fluctuate between 3-5 pounds from there. I went from a 16 to a 6-10 depending on how the clothes are made. I now feel comfortable enough to go into maintenance mode and be able to stay right within my range, as long as I can keep up my fitness I'll be okay. There were lots of steps, lots of life lessons, and lots of "oh my gosh!" moments it was ...
It's been just over a year since I started my journey, it's been a real eye opener to say the least. I've lost a total of 52 pounds and I fluctuate between 3-5 pounds from there.

I now feel comfortable enough to go into maintenance mode and be able to stay right within my range, as long as I can keep up my fitness I'll be okay. There were lots of steps, lots of life lessons, and lots of "oh my gosh!" moments it was unbelievable but I made it through and now it feels like I've been doing it forever. Baby steps gets you through your journey, I always say that and in my case it is getting me through with a few detours but I'm getting there!
Always keep in mind that there will always be detours in life and as long as you keep trudging along one step at a time you will always make it back to your path and get you long into your journey!

Member Since: 6/21/2011

SparkPoints: 51,751

Fitness Minutes: 27,141

My Goals:
I have increased my fitness, learned how to eat better and make wiser decisions in what I eat! Now I'm a few pounds from were I would like to be 4 to be exact! I want to get to that goal and then maintain!

My Program:
Journaling everything I eat and all of my fitness. I'm running at least 12 miles a week and would like to gradually increase that to 16. My slacking area is strength training. I used to be faithful with it and now I would rather run than do strength training. I just need to get better with everything that I do!

Personal Information:
I have a supportive husband who at times does not understand my thought process, and 2 great girls one in high school and one in elementary school. Both of them are at the complete other end of the spectrum with personalities and age! They definitly keep me on my toes!

Other Information:
I live in Colorado and love it here! I love how sometimes it's warm enough in the winter that I can run outside instead of always being inside! I work full time, take kids to sporting events (even their own). Trying to balance life can be very difficult but is definitly worth it if you can do it and do it well!

Thank you for keeping me informed about your player. When I was in the seventh grade one of the girls in my art class asked me to go to the nurse's office with her because of a horrible headache. She passed away that night due to an aneurysm. This really touched my heart. emoticon
