Suiting Up For the Long Road Back To Myself

{Update: 7/16/12}

Back on track for the past two months now and LOVING the journey so far! I'm exercising regularly and eating so much more mindfully. I have a long way to go, but I'm feeling so positive and motivated. I can't believe I waited this long to start taking care of myself...but I'm freakin' glad I finally took those first steps!

Back on track for the past two months now and LOVING the journey so far! I'm exercising regularly and eating so much more mindfully. I have a long way to go, but I'm feeling so positive and motivated. I can't believe I waited this long to start taking care of myself...but I'm freakin' glad I finally took those first steps!

I'm a social worker in health care and live in NY with my husband and three cats. 2012 has been a rocky-ish year personally, but I'm feeling confident and strong enough to know I can handle whatever life dishes out to me. I firmly believe that making my health and wellness a priority is giving me the perspective I've needed to thrive and find joy in all I do.

Spark People is a blessing and I look forward to making friends and sharing inspiration and encouragement.

****
I need to get back into a regular exercise and fitness lifestyle. I know firsthand the benefits of exercise and how it can aid in weight loss as I was able to drop almost 50 lbs ten years ago mainly though exercising. Unfortunately I got out of the routine and this time around, I need to lose about 100 lbs. I'm an energetic and creative person and need to make this FUN in order to reach my goals and maintain a healthier life!

Hi - Just popping by to see how things are going with you.
As a leader of the Inner Journey spark team I would like to encourage you to stop by the team page and check out the many team threads. Keeping active on a spark team is a great way to stay focused and on track for reaching your goals.
With a new year about to begin it is also a wonderful opportunity to get out your journal and/or blog about your new (and/or old and updated) goals for 2013.
Let's Make this Year a Year to Remember!!
