Annndddd back again...

I fell off the wagon in November 2011 as my life went into a tail-spin with a divorce, job loss and big move across the state. Luckily I managed to limit the fall to just an 8lb gain... (Last time I gained everything right back... 40lbs!!) So I am pretty proud of that!

This time I have a new love in my life, a great new job, a feeling of "family", and a fantastic pace of life, and somehow miraculously a new found love for my body just as it is, lumps, bumps, curves, dimples, ...

This time I have a new love in my life, a great new job, a feeling of "family", and a fantastic pace of life, and somehow miraculously a new found love for my body just as it is, lumps, bumps, curves, dimples, stretch marks and all... I am back and I am better, stronger and more confident than ever. Time to get back to the 222lbs and beyond!

UPDATE: 03/15/2013
I am now officially below the weight I was when I stopped Sparking in 2011. Current weight is 220lbs! TIme to focus on getting my butt out of the "Obese" BMI range. 6lbs to go!

UPDATE: 03/22/2013
Today I said goodbye to being "Obese" and Hello to being "Overweight". When I started this journey I was flirting with "Morbidly Obese". Next goal on deck: Getting out of the 200s

UPDATE: 5/8/2013
Today a miracle happened... I weighed and saw 198.4 on the scale this morning... I am officially under 200 lbs!! ONEDERLAND!
Haven't been this small since I was about 20 years old! No rest for the wicked... Previous goals have been about 15lbs apart... the next one down from here is going to be a long hard slog to 177lbs and out of the "Overweight" BMI range. I am PUMPED!!

Hello Friend!
I am back and I have a pouch! And I just love her.
The first three days were a bit hairy, but after every walk, I just felt better.
Thanks so much for dropping by.

Oh Yes! There are not many of us!
I always read the blogs on the SA team, that is how I ran into yours.
And I am glad I did.
Have you decided about the 20km?
