Here is to a new me, a new us, a new life...

You name it I have tried and done it but never achieved the long lasting results of the real work, the true hard dedication to eating right, exercising and taking care of myself.

Oh the many roads I have traveled, some with success, some without success, the ones with success did not last long they were only temporary as they were fads, those so called Miracle Pills. You name it I have tried and done it but never achieved the long lasting results of the real work, the true hard dedication to eating right, exercising and taking care of myself. This time is different, this time it is going to stick, this time it is going to work and when I have setbacks I am not going to let them destroy me. I am going pick myself up, dust myself off and start all over again. So, raise your glasses (of water!) :) and let's toast to a new me, a new us, a new life! We can do this! WE HAVE THE POWER!! Good Luck to everyone on this journey. "Happy are those who dream dreams and are happy to pay the price to make them come true." - - Leon J. Suenes I AM READY TO PAY THAT PRICE!

My Goals:
My goal weight 135 (however, for some reason for my height [i.e., SHORT!] I am supposed to weigh 125. I want to eat healhier. I want to feel good about myself. I want to not destroy myself with negative comments. I want to be around for my grandchildren and be able to keep up with them.
My Program:
Give up soda! Walk on my am/pm breaks at work. S.T. every other day. Cardio everyday. Stretch before and after all my workouts (yoga/pilates). Stay within my calorie range and track my food.
Personal Information:
My name is Maria I live in Houston, Texas I am a Paralegal in a law firm in the Galleria. I am a mother of 3 beautiful boys (ages 22, 19, 16) and a grandmother of two beautiful girls, ages 6, 2. I am an avid soccer player/runner. I have run two marathons. I wanted to run another marathon but the doctor said if I wanted to run another marathon I would have to give up soccer! NO WAY! (Due to knee/ankle trouble). I am married to a wonderful husband who gets me whatever I need for my workouts. (This way I don't have to go to a gym b/c I don't like gyms) and is very supportative of what I am doing.
Other Information:
