Live wholly, love completely, learn continuously, and laugh often.
I started SparkPeople in June 2011 thanks to the encouragement of my 19 yo daughter. I was skeptical about yet another diet/workout plan, but soon became a believer. Over several months, I lost 25 pounds and had begun running. Thanks to SparkPeople and some hard work, I was able to go on hikes with my family that I usually had to skip. For me, it was nirvana.

I started SparkPeople in June 2011 thanks to the encouragement of my 19 yo daughter. I was skeptical about yet another diet/workout plan, but soon became a believer. Over several months, I lost 25 pounds and had begun running. Thanks to SparkPeople and some hard work, I was able to go on hikes with my family that I usually had to skip. For me, it was nirvana.
Fast forward several months from my last blog and I have gained all of the weight back, not because of the work here, but because I chose to ignore one of the major precepts of SparkPeople - Keep It Real. It's all about developing and working a plan that's fits with your real life and your real body, right now. What habits and choices are sustainable in your life for a long time to come?
So I am back- tweaking what I learned the first time and figuring out where to go next. It's a good thing I enjoy the learning process.

Member Since: 6/2/2011
SparkPoints: 10,874
Fitness Minutes: 5,424
My Goals:
to live a healthy lifestyle that allows me to never miss another family activity like rafting or hiking because of my weight or conditioning.
New goals under revision
My Program:
- Cardio 6 days per week: swim, hike, walk, aerobics, or bellydance
- Strength train 6 days a week
- Yoga, usually for back or knees, 7 days per week (20 minutes)
- 5-6 small meals per day with plenty of veggies and fruits, minimal red meat and sugar
- I have found that carefully balancing my carbs with protein eliminates much of the sugar binging
- Over 8+ glasses of water daily
- Weigh in weekly
Personal Information:
My name is Lisa and I am the happily married mother of three terrific teenagers. I am also fortunate enough to reside in the beautiful Pacific Northwest within a short drive of both the beach and the mountains.
Other Information:
Homeschooling my youngest allows me to indulge in my penchant for studying literature, history, and science. My favorite movie of all time is Harold and Maude and yes, I am fond of Herman Melville. I am definitely better at coming up with ideas than following through with them.
