Time to Be My Best

My name is McKenzie. I am constantly looking for motivation to eat better, workout harder and lead a healthier lifestyle. I feel like I've been stuck in the same place for a long time.

I happen to also be a registered dietitian. Although I've learned a lot about what healthy eating is through school & my profession, I am also human. I love foods like French onion dip and chips. Healthy eating doesn't always come easy and wasn't something I grew up with.

My name is McKenzie. I am constantly looking for motivation to eat better, workout harder and lead a healthier lifestyle. I feel like I've been stuck in the same place for a long time.

I happen to also be a registered dietitian. Although I've learned a lot about what healthy eating is through school & my profession, I am also human. I love foods like French onion dip and chips. Healthy eating doesn't always come easy and wasn't something I grew up with.

I am always aiming to eat less processed foods, eat more fruits and veggies. Although I'd love to lose a few pounds, I'd really like to tone up.

In 2012, I gave both Jillian Michael's Body Revolution & Insanity a try. In 2013, I plan to run a half marathon. I like to mix my workouts up because I find I easily get bored. I am always open to trying new exercises.

Since mid-2009, my husband and I have been trying to conceive without success. Through Spark I have met amazing women going through similar experiences and am using Spark to connect with them and also keep my eating & exercise in check.

One of my favorite quotes is "A year from now you'll look back and wish you started today". Every year, I wish I had done what I set out to do. Every day is a new day to be my best.

Thanks for the info, I don't have a Sam's Club, but we do have a WalMart. Hopefully I'll be able to find them :) I bet our natural food store would have them if nothing else.

I am the same way, it is so hard with facebook and being around all my friends that have kids. To make matters worse I work with kids every day...such a challenge. Our time will come...whether it be our biological children, or our adopted children :-) just know i'm feeling the same way yo uare and if you ever want to vent i'm here. We just had our 2nd IUI and i'm thinking it failed, my period is due monday and took a pregnancy test this morning and it was negative...i know i was too anxious to wait...

Thanks for the luck. We've scheduled a consult for May 17th at Emory. We've got our fingers crossed.
