Introduction Text I am a 49 year old Mom and Meme. I have been here at Sparkpeople since April 14. I have lost 11 lb so far. But what I have gained is so much better. I am breathing better. I could barely walk up my stairs before, now I am walk/jogging 4 miles a couple of times a week! I sleep better, eat better, and just feel better! I have signed up to do a 5 K Color Run in September, so my goal right now is to train for that. It is not timed, but I would like to finish well for my own competitive self. :) 12/13/15 Ok, so been away for a year.....what a mistake!!!!! I put on so much weight! More then I had lost. So here I am, back to start over... Today is day one, of the rest of my lifestyle change. I did it before and I will do it again. Challenge: I have a very difficult time breathing, because I have COPD. Not an excuse, just a challenge. Goal: Lose weight and improve health, breath better, and have more energy.

My 5% Fall Challenge goals: I will prepare and cook my meals at least 5 days a week. I will exercise for at least 60 min.per day for 5 days a week. I will eat at least 5 freggies per day. I will work at eating 25 grams of fiber per day. I will drink at least 8-8 ounce glasses of water per day. I will stay in my caloric limit everyday. I will continue walking at least 3 days per week. I will continue with my Zumba classes. I will do my best to encourage and motivate my team mates and those around me!

I am working on improving my diet, less sugar and carbs, more protein. I am also trying to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. This was a struggle at first, but seems to be getting easier. I intend to work out as much as possible, at least 10 min a day. I go to a Zumba classs twice a week, so I only need to come up with 1 day of cardio on my own. The other days, strength training.

I live in Northeastern Maine.

I love to craft! My mind is constantly going over things I can make! We have WAY to many craft stores in my area!
