ABILITY IS WHAT YOU ARE CAPABLE OF DOING. MOTIVATION DETERMINES WHAT YOU DO. ATTITUDE DETERMINES HOW WELL YOU DO IT ~ Lou Holtz _______________________________________ Hi! I am a "40 something" mom in Ottawa Canada (and this is my first "page" of any kind - this is also my first attempt at losing weight and exercising...I have my fingers (and toes!) crossed). _______________________________________ I just saw this in a newsletter from my son's school... PARABLE OF THE WOLVES A chief was teaching his grandson about life... "A fight is going on inside me," he said to the boy. "It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. "One is evil - he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, self-doubt, and ego. "The other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. "This same fight is going on inside you - and inside every other person, too." The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win?" The old chief simply replied, "The one you feed." ______________________________________ GRANT ME THE SERENITY TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE THE COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS I CAN THE WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE ___________________________________ "If you don't like something, change it; if you can't change it, change the way you think about it." Maya Angelou

My first goal is to lose 10 lbs by March 20...perhaps another 5 or 10 after that(?). NEW GOAL: maintain my weight between 130 and 135 from now until October 19

ORIGINAL: Eat less, move more. I am trying to stay under 1500 calories a day, to do cardio 3-4 times per week, and strength training 2-3 times per week. NOW: +/-1700 calories per day; same cardio/strength.

I am a sort of stay at home mom (I work from home)!
