Another twenty-something girl with a taste for good food, good drink, and good times, who just wants to be healthy at the end of it all. =)
I've been overweight, or at least aware of it, since I was 10 years old. That's well over half my life now. That sucks. I want to fix it.
- 2009 Final Tally - 6 lbs, from 232 to 226
- 2010 - fizzled
- 2013 - I'm back! 3/14
***CURRENT CHALLENGES***

My Goals:
Overall, I want to be healthy and fit enough to be an active person again, and to feel good about myself. I don't mind admitting that I really don't feel good about myself, and especially about my health, right now.
Long term, I'm shooting for 145 lbs and a 10K.
Short term, I'm focusing on 10 lb increments, every 2 months if I can manage it., and 30 minutes of walking a day. 220, here I come!
My Program:
Food: I feel better when I'm eating real food, staying away from added sugar and refined starches. So basically, low carb. Trying to stick with that.
Exercise: walking or kinect for 30 minutes, most days, and building a strength training habit.
Personal Information:
-Female, 29, 5'6", Single, Christian, Liberpublican
-Blue eyes = blue_blazes
-Currently residing in Marietta, Georgia, USA
-'06 College graduate (UGA), international affairs major
-Corporate paralegal, applying to start law school in fall 2013.
Other Information:
So I suck at making and keeping friends, but I'm here for the community and the motivation, so by all means, feel free to friend me and I'll try to do better. =)
