I am here to build a new me. I have been on and off of SP for years. Every time I keep getting discouraged or otherwise falling off track. But I suppose the important part is that I keep coming back. Sept Goals: Start Over and get on track. - Exercise a little more each week than the previous week. - Track foods and be more aware of just how much I'm eating - Drink water Weight Progress Rewards: 10lbs: [[Need a goal for this]] 20 lbs: [[Need a goal for this]] 30 lbs: Bike 40 lbs: [[Need a goal for this]] 50 lbs: Massage/spa day? Goal: Tattoo signifying the new healthier me. (Tentative design is under my photos.)

I lost almost 30 pounds. It was awesome. Then I hit a series of hard times in my life. I gained 40 pounds. Yikes! Came back 1/5/10 and did really good of staying on track till the end of April when I got mono for the 3rd time in a year. I was very also frustrated that I had been on a plateau for about 2.5 months. By the time I came back in 10/1/10 I had gained back up almost to my starting point at the beginning of the year. A few more short starts with little to no progress and giving up along the way. But here we go again... I really need to figure out how to make this stick.

Long Term Goals: - To get back to a healthy weight - To lower my cholesterol. - To feel better about my body - To be able to look good in moderately tight jeans and a t-shirt - To feel confident in a bathing suit - To avoid temptation of junk food in a large group/party setting. - To have more energy

- Track EVERYTHING I eat and work towards staying in all ranges as often as possible (goal 5+ times per week) - Exercise 30+ min 3-5 times per week. For now by walking or working out using my Wii Fit. Then working on adding in strength training twice a week. - Focus on making healthy choices most of the time, but allowing myself some treats. - Sneaking in exercise wherever I can. Lunch break, watching TV, etc. - Focusing on creating a healthy lifestyle in general.
