Introduction Text Okay. I'm getting back on track. In 2008 I lost 45 pounds with the help of Spark People. I quit tracking regularly during the fall of 2008, but maintained the weight loss. I told myself that if the scale started ooching up, I would begin tracking again. Then life got really crazy. From the death of a co-worker to the firing of my boss, health issues with my parents and community members, and my own perimenopausal hormonal hell, I lapsed into mindless eating and have regained about 20 pounds. Grrr. Time to get serious, because I am NOT going to buy bigger pants!

Lose weight: Long-term goal 55+ pounds. Short-term goals 1. Back **comfortably** into my skinniest pants 2. Out of "obese" BMI (185 for me) 3. My drivers license weight (170--it's been at least 15 years!) 4. The final frontier: 150 or below, at a healthy BMI

Walk or bike 30+ minutes at least 4 days per week. Track food intake (brutal honesty required!) Measure & weigh what I eat. Portion control! Flat Belly Diet (more or less!) Basically eating fresh, whole foods, under 1600 calories per day divided into 3 meals & a snack, including a MUFA with each meal.

I'm a high school teacher and a Benedictine nun since 1985. Check out my community website at www.mountosb.org St. Benedict advises moderation in all things, but my own life does not always reflect a healthy balance, especially in terms of diet and exercise.

I love to knit, read, work crossword puzzles (NY Times, especially) and listen to NPR.
