We all move forward in life, one way or the other. It's how we move forward that's our choice. For the past number of months I liken my moving forward to a mechanical moving sidewalk, like at the airport. I'm going forward but not by my own energy. Today I step off the moving sidewalk and choose to move forward using my own energy. I'm stepping into the 5% Challenge that begins April 4th!

Spring FIRECRACKER Plan +LOOSE 16 lbs by May 22nd. (2 lbs/wk for 8 weeks) +BY raising my heart rate 20 minutes each day. Yoga-Tues & Thurs, Walk daily-20 minutes vigorously. +BY staying within my caloric range of 1200-1500 calories/day. It's changes in life, no matter how big or small, that effect my forward motion.

I'm Laurie and I'm in my 50's. It's not my age that sends me scrambling for weight lose in 2015 but the desire to actively work on being as healthy as I possibly can. I married Steve 30+ years ago and he remains to be my best friend. We have 2 children, Matthew and Amanda. (AMANDALADY is a sparkpeople, too) They are both married to people that make them happy. And, I'm a Grandma to a beautiful ginger named Violet Olivia. I enjoy living in MN most of the year. Winter can get a bit tough. Not because of the cold and snow, but because of the lack of sunshine.

I am a Susan G. Komen 3 Day for the Cure walker. 2015 will be the Tenacious Turtles 9th year walking in Dallas/Fort Worth. I have aspirations to own my own business. My options are open, it's yet to be determined. Life is great that way!
