-----------------------
I'm going slow - only tracking 10 lbs at a time, and making sure I can do that without looking at the big picture.
To me this is a journey of realization. I've slowly been realizing how much I hurt myself on a daily basis. I step back and take a look at my body, and I see it's reaction to constant stress.
After all, I chew my nails, I pick at my fingers, at any pimples I can find. I bite my lips. I sleep in positions that leave me waking up feeling sore. I'll go into obsessive moods where I'll forget to drink or eat - or I'll do the opposite and I won't be able to stop snacking.
I'm away for the summer, in Tucson, AZ, and hopefully this time away from my normal setting can give me a chance to forge new and better habits.

My Goals:
I'm heading on down to under 160. I haven't seen 159 since at least eighth grade.
But it's ten pounds at a time, and I'm doing a lifestyle change. Focusing on other things, too!
My Program:
--I am tracking everything I eat. For records. Not to make myself feel guilty.
--I am tracking ALL of the exercise I do. Even when Spark gives me that annoying "You've exercised too much" message.
--I am trying to limit caffeine and refined foods. Trying to stick to the basics instead of stuff out of a box.
--I am trying to gain muscle and tone through cycling, walking, strength training, and yoga.
Personal Information:
I'm all about taking care of myself - even though it's something very, very new to me.
