Fit and Healthy for Me
I am officially 30 years old. I am in the best shape now than I have ever been, which was my first goal when I joined spark people. I have to say I am amazed I did it. I am also very proud of myself.
I have recently had to take some time off from exercise due to Achilles tendinitis...very painful and virtually impossible to even walk.
Due to the fact my exercise was down I notice I am a little jiggly in some areas where I don't really want to be. I would like to lose a few ...
I am officially 30 years old. I am in the best shape now than I have ever been, which was my first goal when I joined spark people. I have to say I am amazed I did it. I am also very proud of myself.
I have recently had to take some time off from exercise due to Achilles tendinitis...very painful and virtually impossible to even walk.
Due to the fact my exercise was down I notice I am a little jiggly in some areas where I don't really want to be. I would like to lose a few pounds but more importantly I want to tone and firm those areas that have been the hardest hit from my time off. The good news is, I haven't gained any weight back:)
1/5/10: My time off had worse consequences than I thought:
Upper Arm: 10.5 in.
Bust: 36 in. (around the fullest part)
Waist: 30 in. (up from 28)
Hips: 35 in.
Thigh: 20 in.
This is really disheartening. I will be working hard over the next couple of weeks to get my waist size down.
5/10/09: Ran my first 5k. Sea Dog Mother's Day 5k.
5/11/09: I have lost 12 pounds on Spark People since February 2009.
5/16/09: Hot Pursuit 5K: 28:31 PR (my second 5k)
5/16/09: I am down to 122.4 and holding. I am going to stay here for a while (I think) and reevaluate my wants and needs concerning my body. Might stay here, might lose some more weight. Still going to work on strength and toning.
5/20/09: Bought a pair of racing flats. Can't wait to try them out!! They are totally obnoxious and bright red, they are great.
5/22/09: So much for my plan of staying at 122.4, I am now at 120.6 and I wasn't trying to do it. I have officially hit my goal. Might have something to do with the stress I am having at work. When stressed, I tend to have gastrointestinal issues, (to put it nicely). We'll see!
5/2309: When I weighed myself yesterday it was in the afternoon. I weighed naked this morn before food and the magic number is, 119.2!
PHASE 2
5/26/09: I am officially in what I am calling phase 2 of my new life/body. I have met my goal weight plus an extra pound taking me to 119 lb (phase 1). I am 5'2" so this is a good weight for me.
I will now begin to ramp up the strength training. I have been doing it all along but probably not as often as I should have.
Here are my goals starting today:
1. Do 30 day shred again, this time with 5 and 8 lb weights.
2. Write up a strength training plan and stick to it.
3. Utilize the weight bench in the basement.
4. Build muscle and burn some of the extra fat I still have.
I would like to be able to trim down my waist some more. I lost quite a few inches, however, there is still some baby fat there. I don't know how much is extra skin and how much is fat, but we will see!
Next Race: July 11, 2009 Moxie Day 5k: didn't make it to the race.

My Goals:
My goal was to lose 14 pounds by June 2009 and I have done that. My new goal is more strength training and toning. I would like to see a marked difference in the way I look now by August.
Personal Information:
I live on an island (yes there is a bridge) on the beautiful, rocky coast of Maine with my 3 kiddos and wonderful husband.
I find 4 leaf clovers EVERYWHERE. I even had one tattooed on my foot so if my luck runs out, I will always see one when I look down.
Other Information:
Four-leaf Clover
I know a place where the sun is like gold
and the cherries bloom forth in the snow;
And down underneath is the loveliest place,
Where the four-leaf clovers grow.
One leaf is for FAITH,
And one is for HOPE,
And one is for LOVE you know;
And GOD put another in for LUCK:
If you search you will find where they grow.
But you must have FAITH,
And you must have HOPE,
You must LOVE and be strong and so...
If you work and you wait,
You will find the place
Where the FOUR-LEAF CLOVERS grow
