But aside from that -- anything's possible! -- Including losing 100 lbs. in 9 months and 8 days. If I can do it, YOU can do it. January 19, 2008 -- started taking alli October 28, 2008 -- thank you thank you THANK YOU Doneys for naming me Done Gal O' The Day and somewhere in there I was named a Motivator as well. I can hardly believe it. Today's song is for you. February 17, 2009 -- thank you thank you THANK YOU Kind Buds for naming me Kind Buddy O' The Week. Yesterday's song, if I may, is for you. Party on! :) March 25, 2009 -- thank you thank you THANK YOU for naming me the Spark Motivator of the Day! How the heck did THAT happen? Seriously, I am humbled and grateful and newly motivated and trying to think of how I'm going to thank everyone individually. This may involve dog slobber. Or, if you prefer, coupons for free smart aleck comments. ;) April 21, 2009 -- I was interviewed (3 times!) on GMTV about my experiences with weight loss and alli. Here's a link to the first interview: http://www.gm.tv/index.cfm?articleid=34368 Pics are in my photo gallery. May 4, 2009 -- 199.2. First time under 200 lbs. since 1991. May 5, 2009 -- Spark People Motivator of the Day: http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_home.a sp (heaven help me, I almost wrote Spank People) Thank you, Spark Deities! Dieties? June 8, 2009 -- 150 lbs. off June 25, 2009 -- my first 5K! My time was 1 hour, 4 minutes and 4 seconds July 5, 2009 -- my second 5K, at Artesani Park (it was actually 3.1 miles)! My time was 43 minutes, 36 seconds. YES, I shaved off over 20 minutes from my older time. DAY-um! September 6, 2009 -- Spark People Motivator o' the Day! September 7, 2009 -- Bad Habit Productions 5K! 4 seconds less than my previous personal best time! October 3, 2009 -- Good Samaritans' Run for Someone Else's Life 5K! Over a minute better than my previous personal best time! November 21, 2009 -- last day taking alli PS I'm done with being, well, you know.... Don't believe me? I've written a book about it. Just check out my wallpaper. Okay, so it's just the cover. Don't judge, okay? ;) ---------------------------------------- -------------------------------------- --------------- GOYAMM Plan for November 2009 Lift 4 days/week Resistance bands 7 days/week Walk 30 mins/day 6 days/week; extra walking 3 days/week Additional abs work Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays plus any gym days Gym 3x/week, 60 mins. Concentrate on body part(s) specific to the day's weight training, so chest, shoulders, triceps on Mondays, biceps, back and calves on Wednesday and abs, butt and quads on Fridays Gym time: Burn at least 300 - 350 calories per the machines. More intense (faster, steeper, more resistance) cardio. Average 70k steps/week 5K training, once on the weekend, go around the Chestnut Hill Reservoir twice. One 5K race per month, weather and health permitting. Next one is 11/8!

My Goals:
200 lbs. have to go (I'm having a fire sale). 163 gone so far. BMI: 29.5. -- For my older goals, see the nifty chart in my gallery! Double-click it to enlarge. --- *** Eleventh goal of 10 more off. A work in progress. Once I make it, I will have lost 166 lbs., AKA about 48% of my original weight. *My long-term goal is 146. Only 37 lbs. to go! Come count down with me!*
My Program:
Diet, exercise (resistance bands, Joyce Vedral's 20-minute daily workout book, a big honkin' yellow stability ball, the gym and walking, a touch of Pilates) and I used to take alli. Oh and my own will, your love, you wonderful Sparkies, plus the ability to lie to myself about why chocolate is evil.
Personal Information:
