Introduction Text Hi! Like most of you here, my weight has fluctuated over the years from a heavy 170 (I'm 5'4") to a slim 126. This year, I decided it was going to be all about ME and I was going to make some positive changes, including becoming more healthy. It's a daily struggle, but one I'm committed to now - not just for appearance's sake, but because I want to be active in my old age and I want to be a positive example for my nieces. Life is too short and I want to make the most of it.

My goals are to eat healthy and exercise most days of the week so I can be in great shape for the next big adventure that comes my way.

I'm striving to eat healthy foods by using Cooking Light recipes, eating whole foods and eating normal portion sizes. I am exercising most days of the week by using my treadmill, walking outside, riding my bike (weather permitting). Once I feel established in my cardio workout, I will add yoga and resistance bands to my workout for my strength training. I've been using SparkPeople to track my progress, read articles and keep inspired.

I'm 45 and live in Forest, VA. My biggest passions are reading, international travel and my 2 cats. I also love to cook, scrapbook and go birding, especially in places where I have never been.
