These 5 years have been a learning experience for me. I did well the first 3 1/2 years. Then I started slipping back into a few old habits. About a year ago there were some major life happenings (totally beyond my control) that threw me for a loop emotionally. I have gained back what I lost and stopped being active on the site and physically for almost a year now. I am almost back together emotionally and am focusing on starting over with the healthier life style. I have continued to drink about 8 cups of water each day. Now I will start getting into a regular strength training routine and cardio routine.

Wow! I haven't been active on this site much so I didn't realize it's been 5 yrs.

I've finally reached my goal and I'm now maintaining. 2013 was the first time in many, many yrs that my goal was not to lose weight. What a wonderful feeling. I'm now focusing on other goals like running my first HM some time this year.
