My Goals:
My ultimate goal is to be happy and healthy in all arenas of my life. Many people in my family have struggled with their weight and I hope to break free of the cycle and blaze my own trail. As of May 2013, I have lost 65 pounds!

My Program:
Dancing 6 days a week.
Strength Training 3 days a week.
Walking 2 to 4 miles a day.
I try to eat REAL FOOD, not merely food like substances.
I drink my water and try to get appropriate sleep.
I also actively seek to manage and reduce my stress through prayer, exercise and relaxation.

Personal Information:
I love all things artsy, from paintings to films to music. I graduated from law school in May of 2011. I love to swim, dance and walk by the beach. I love California and all of our wonderful beaches, forests, wines and cheeses. :)

OMG, that was so me too! I don't think I wore the right size jeans for the longest time - I had like a permanent muffin top!! And then there are a few XL blouse from when I was thinner I continued to wear, but I'm sure I stretched them out - I'm pretty sure one blouse made me look pregnant!!

But it is SO much fun to figure out what I like and what looks good on me - instead of buying what fits and isn't TOO bad! It is totally worth the clothes shopping and the clothes donating!

Yeah...Craig is the husband in question who returned. :)
I feel pretty good about it. I know without a doubt that God's hand was in this from the start to finish. Hard work but now two souls not only are back in it together but more secure in His plan than ever before.

Yes, I feel pretty good about it. Thank you for all of your support. You are an awesome person and an inspiration to me.

Sincerely,
Tina
