Happy To Be Taking Positive Steps

Hello! My name is Rebecca and I am editing my introduction page. I would like to say that I am right where I would like to be in life but who is really? I could call myself many things, wife, Mother, Grandma, daughter, retired, overweight, and not in the best health of my life. However, I am choosing to call myself something different today. I am hopeful, adventurous, a good friend, and someone who tries to give the most to those she loves. I am also seeking to give some of that love to ...
Hello! My name is Rebecca and I am editing my introduction page. I would like to say that I am right where I would like to be in life but who is really? I could call myself many things, wife, Mother, Grandma, daughter, retired, overweight, and not in the best health of my life. However, I am choosing to call myself something different today. I am hopeful, adventurous, a good friend, and someone who tries to give the most to those she loves. I am also seeking to give some of that love to myself now. We sometimes tend to beat ourselves up because we do not meet our own expectations of perfection. I am Rebecca, and yes I deserve to feel as good about myself whatever weight I happen to be, as we all do. That is why I am not on a weight loss journey this time but I journey to better health. I understand that on this journey I will have to lose weight to attain better health but I will do it by eating healthy foods, which are the best for my overall health. I am excited about the positive steps I am taking and fortunate to have others along with me on this positive trip.

Fitness Minutes: 2,211

My Goals:
To be as healthy as I can and be an example to those I love. To get in the shape where I can do the things I dream of. To minimize my needs and wants to only the important things.

My Program:
I am trying the South Beach Diet based on the healthy properties of this diet. I was an investigator by trade so I have the tendency to research diets very thoroughly. I like what I read about the Wheat Belly Diet also. I will be limiting wheat as much as I can.

Personal Information:
I am originally from Juneau, Alaska which is a place I try to visit when I can. However, I love living in southern Arizona because of the great weather and the unusual beauty all around. I absolutely love to travel. Anyone want some adventures?

Other Information:
I would love to do the pilgrimage of the Way of St. James in Spain, go river rafting in the Grand Canyon, sky diving in the desert.

"Three of the most powerful words in the English language are 'I AM RESPONSIBLE.' It's tough to do, but when the day comes that you can say those words, believe them, and mean them, it will be the most liberating moment of your life. Taking responsibility for all of your results, for better or for worse, is taking back your power to create results in your life."
-Tom Venuto

"Just because we are knocked down does not mean that we are out.
We still have breath in our lungs and tears flowing down - all signs that we are alive!
Take a deep breath and be reminded that often our biggest struggles are stepping stones to our greatest victories."

Thanks for the encouragement re being a paralegal! I work at a nonprofit corporation and support 8 attorneys. Never a dull moment but I can see it's possible a lack of mental challenge would push me to make changes!

Being closer to retirement than 90% of the students in my classes mean this could be a short career for me. So far, I love it!

Thanks for the friend add! I did the same!

"You are capable and worthy of being and doing anything.
You just need the discipline and determination to see it through.
It won't come instantly, and you may backslide from time to time, but don't let that deter you.
Never give up. Life is an ever-changing process, and nothing is final.
Therefore, each moment and every new day is a chance to begin anew."
-Barbara Cage
