I am a work in progress I'm a midlife wife, mother, RN, who likes to stay active and wants to keep it that way for the rest of my life. Have been overweight for 20+ years. I love dogs, I have a one year old Bichon Frise named Linus who likes to walk/run then plop down until I carry him. My husband is supportive and joins me in diet/exercising.

I am a work in progress I'm a midlife wife, mother, RN, who likes to stay active and wants to keep it that way for the rest of my life. Have been overweight for 20+ years. I love dogs, I have a one year old Bichon Frise named Linus who likes to walk/run then plop down until I carry him. My husband is supportive and joins me in diet/exercising. My 24 yr old daughter moved home with us in 2012 due to career opportunities in this area. Happy to have her home and joining us in creating a healthy life style. 3/21/12- Starting over again after some difficult times with accompanying weight gain. 1/16/13 Started the BLC21 challenge today. Excited to join the Crimson Butterflies. 4/13 Addendum: Lost 9.8 lbs during the 12 week challenge= WooHoo! Looking forward to starting BLC22 in June. 3/21/13 It's been one year since we adopted Linus and I restarted my weight loss journey. I was at my heaviest exactly one year ago. I've lost 35 pounds this past year and I'm pleased with the progress. My pledge is to continue this journey for another year and hopefully lose another 35 pounds. 5/11/13 Starting the 5% Spring to Summer Challenge. I seem to need an organized challenge to stay on track LOL.

My Goals:
1) To lose 35 more pounds by 3/21/14 2) To stay active and live a healthy lifestyle. 3) To set a good example for my family and loved ones. 4) To encourage my family and loved ones in their own goals and to help them along the way. 5) To lose weight while maintaining lean body mass (i.e. muscle and bone density)
My Program:
I have to make it simple. My life is too complex already. 1)Stay within calorie range. 2)Walk with my dog two to three miles a day when weather permits. 3)Exercise on elliptical or bike 3-4 times per week. 4) try to strength train with light weights. Positive thoughts each day to reinforce healthy habits.
Personal Information:
Nature inspires me.
Other Information:
I love hiking, biking, kayaking or just getting outside to walk in the park.
