***UPDATE: May 27th, 2009: I'm baaaaaaa-aaaaack! With a baby and a lot of breastfeeding going on, I'm going to carefully try to get back down to pre-pregnancy, pre-summer weight! Being busy with a baby I may have a hard time with the exercising part of it all, but we've got a stroller, and she's a good sleeper, so hoping to get back at it and have some fun in the sun this summer!

**Update: March 10, 2008: I'm setting mini-goals for myself because up until now, I've been doing pretty good...but not as good as I could have!

Mini-goal #1: Under 200 by May 1, 2008...pedicure to get ready for summer!

Mini-goal #2: 180 lbs by start of school year 2008-09...New school clothes shopping at Birch Run with my husband (a mini getaway!) Maybe I can up this to my anniversay July 26th, 2008 and make it a more romantic trip!

This is where I'm starting....Good luck to me!

Hello! My name is Lisa and I just want to be better. I want to make better choices in my life. I am a married woman, and although my husband and I recently (about a year ago) lost quite a bit of weight (my husband lost 80 lbs!), I seemed to have gained it all back and he hasn't. I have a relationship with Jesus Christ and feel like my addiction to food is getting in the way of me being who God wants me to be in my life. I'm excited for this journey towards health!

My Goals:
I would like to learn to love myself enough to NOT eat when I am stressed, overjoyed, bored, or just offered food. I would like to love myself and my God more than I love that donut. I want to run a marathon with my husband!

I also want to learn to be healthy for my new little baby--eating mostly organic, eating locally grown fruits and veggies, and getting outside to play!

My Program:
Eating less...

Moving more...

Less Computer...

More fun!

Making choices at every turn...

Personal Information:
I am a happily married woman with a tiny 7 week old baby. I like to scrapbook, run, hang out with friends, play boardgames and just have fun! I'm learning to be a mommy right now, not getting a lot of sleep, but also finding a lot of time to sit in front of the laptop...

I am a teacher of students with autism spectrum disorder. I love my job and my students and wouldn't want to do anything else with my life right now.

I am a Christian woman and my relationship with God means a lot to me. I want to be all that God wants me to be and I want to share the love I know I have with others who I meet.

Other Information:
" My brothers and sisters, you will face all kinds of trouble. When you do, think of it as pure joy. Your faith will be put to the test. You know that when that happens it will produce in you the strength to continue. The strength to keep going must be allowed to finish its work. Then you will be all you should be. You will have everything you need." James 1:2-4

Yay yay yay for weight loss...ANY weight loss! I'm a little concerned about getting on the scale on Monday after this week. My "one day" turned into two...

Anyway - hope you're having a healthful weekend!

Hi! thanks for reading my blog. I'm doing the Spark People's New You Boot Camp. They've had it on here for years now and I've decided to give it a shot for 28 days and see what happens.
Basically it has a different 10 minute video for each day of the week (half strength work and half of it is stretching) and then 5 days with 30 minutes of cardio of your choice. If you swing by my page there is a link to the team New You Boot Camp, it's explained there. Or just search for New You Boot Camp for an article about it. I like the article, it has links to each of the videos.
The videos are nice, some are more challengeing than others, but they are so short it's easy to fit them in. All you need is a stability ball and some dumbells (if you don't have the dumbells, use cans of soup, works just as well). If you don't have a stability ball, most of the exercises in the videos can be done without one, but the ball really adds to the challenge, you can pick one up almost anywhere for not too much. Worth the investment in my book!

I'm on day 6 and loving it! I can already feel the difference in my muscle tone. Maybe only a little bit, but I'm on may way!

What team is the Gracious Gravy BSG? I don't think I'm on that team.
