In Search of Balance and yes, Adventure
I'm a married mom of two awesome people. Let me just say again, they are awesome, but I guess I am a bit partial. I am here because I need to find my awesomeness. I tucked it away behind about 130 pounds of fat and fear way back when. I know my awesomeness wants to come out of hiding.
I am tired of the heavy lugging around, tired of the folds of skin that rest on my thighs when I sit, tired of being out of breath with my heart pounding when I go up two floors on the stairs at ...

So, I have been active on SparkPeople on and off since August of 2007 when I first found the site. This year, though. This year is the year I turned...wait for it...no it isn't legendary...but it probably should be...okay, I give in...40. I was supposed to be svelte by now. Happy, in the job of my dreams, debt-free or pretty darn close. Instead I have found myself at a very low point. I set a date for myself two years ago to be in the 140's by the time I turned 40. I let myself down, yet again.
It doesn't have to be this way. I am more than I have become. Hell, I am more that I even thought I could become in the past because I always said "What if I...?" then followed by "No, I couldn't do that." Really supportive, huh?

I want a big LIFE, not an oversized undernourished body.
"I want adventure in the great wide somewhere. I want it more than I can tell." - Belle, Beauty and the Beast.
Plan to get my great wide somewhere big LIFE of awesomeness:
SPA LITE:
Self
Preservation and
Adventure
Living
In
The Moment
Every Day
- Nourish my body with food that has energy. Fruits and Vegetables have energy. Potato Chips - NOT SO MUCH!
- Appreciate my strength by building it up with stretching and use. A body at rest will stay at rest until acted upon by a force. I am that force of nature!! WOOT-WOOT!!
- Rejuvenate my soul with journaling, letting go of past hurts, and building up good relations with myself and others.

I allow myself to walk into a local "hippie" store and pick out a sun-dress that is the softest, coolest fabric with beautiful blues, greens, and purples, that just hangs loose over my shoulders, breasts, hips, and has a long slit up the side to show my svelte legs

Personal Information:
I live in central Vermont. It is absolutely gorgeous here. Even when it has been below zero for a week in a row (during the day). There is always something of beauty to appreciate.
I have a loving husband, two awesome kids and a wonderful supportive family.
I love nature and being out in the woods, hiking or rock hounding. Swimming is also fun as is soccer and badminton. I enjoy reading, writing, drawing, making jewelry with fire, and being around the people I care about.
Other Information:
You can do anything you set your mind to.
Remember, just like a computer program code: Garbage In = Garbage Out
If you wouldn't feed it to your dog, why should you eat it?
