Bear with me, I'm sort of a goofball, and as you will learn shortly, EXCESSIVELY VERBOSE. I plan to start by losing around 120 pounds; I'll decide on a final goal once I get down there and see what the landscape is like (it's been a while!) I lost 30 pounds on Weight Watchers in 2009, but then stress & life intervened and I gained it back, plus a little extra. So here I am. Uh... hi! I blog a bit here and there, as I have thoughts. Anything that shows up is likely to be long (VERBOSE!) so if you do want to read it, you might want to grab a cup of coffee. (I must give credit where credit is due: my page title comes from a blog by Linda Holmes, who is awesome and a better writer than I'll ever hope to be. My avatar is my version of what I would look like if the ever excellent Natalie Dee consented to draw my portrait.)

Food: just tracking, tracking tracking. Ideally I'd like to maintain an average calorie deficit of ~7000/week (= 2lbs/week loss) Weight: lose ~120 pounds total get near the "healthy" BMI range Fitness: Run a 5k - Done! Improve my 5k time Run For Your Lives 10/27/2012 - time ?? (it was more of a hike/obstacle course) Practice 9/22/2012 49:56 Turkey Trot 11/22/2012 48:27 Run Like A Diva 10/6/2013 47:28 Turkey Trot 11/28/2013 1:21 for 5 miles Run Like A Diva 10/5/2014 51:16 Work on ST, building muscle with weights & body weight exercises Someday do "real" pushups!

Tracking, using data to make changes. I continuously need to work on getting enough protein, keeping carbs down, and watch fat and junky food on busy days. Fitness - get some minutes most days of the week. Walking (dog walking + some longer walks) but mostly swimming. Mostly my plan is to not do anything I would hate to do "forever." So I don't plan to work out 7 days a week or give up any particular kind of food or anything like that.

I live in The Jerz; bought a house 7/2013! I love my freakin house.

Lifelong dream realized 11/9/2013: I adopted my very own smooshy little rescue dog!! DOGGGGG! My life is complete, finally.
