I've been a part of SparkPeople for one year. Or should I say, SparkPeople has been a part of ME for one year. The year was going to pass, with or without me doing anything to improve my life. I'm glad I decided to do something about it, and I'm uber-glad I was introduced to SparkPeople one year ago today.

I'm celebrating life. I'm celebrating sweat and muscle, and Anjou pears and Quinoa, and acceleration gliders and 30/30 run/walk/run intervals, and clothes that fit and an attitude full of goof and sass.
Let's do this thing - together!

Personal Information:
I was born and raised in W.Va., and moved to Portland, OR, in May of 2006.

I've been married 4 years to my fabulous husband Bill, and have one daughter, two step-daughters, three almost-sons-in-law, and three step-grandkids! And three lhasa apsos who are my babies.

I've been involved in helping others almost my entire adult life, in one way or another.

I have a sharp sense of humor, use my sarcasm a bit too much sometimes, and love a good hard, bring tears to your eyes laugh.

I started volunteering at the Oregon Humane Society in June 2012. This is some of the most fulfilling work I've done in my life and now I finally know what I want to be if/when I ever grow up - an advocate for companion animals.

I will put it in my calendar. Sundays are out for me until after the Marathon, so a Saturday morning is perfect. Maybe for those interested, after we walk the waterfront we could head up to the Park Blocks and check out the Farmers market!

Thanks for your comment on my blog. I am 5'10 and he's 6'7, I was standing down hill from him so it looks like a bigger gap! But I can tell you he makes me feel tiny! And no problem wearing heels! How are you doing? I love the new picture!

Hi there - to answer your questions:



Do you have a Fitbit that tracks your calories or does Spark produce a 'calories burned' estimate after you enter your workouts?

- NOPE. Wish I did. Have no idea how to use that technology even if I DID have one. That's why I am only recording my minutes in the quick fitness area on Spark. I have no way to really figure out how many calories each exercise burns. I know it kicks my butt to the point where I am completely exhausted at the end, I have downed many many many bottles of water, and I am red in the face.

Have you noticed any change in your energy with such a low amount of carbs?

-YEP. I was wiped out by everything the first week, until my body got off it's sugar/carb overload. By about Thursday I was gaining energy back. The amount of food I eat still makes me feel stuffed so at times I feel like I just ate a Turkey Day meal and I just want to sleep it off. But I don't - instead I try to get busy with SOMETHING.

Oh, by the way, when I ate my first *carb* (yesterday morning) I experienced a real surge (for lack of a better word) of energy-like feeling (but not in a good way). Maybe a blood sugar spike or something? I talked with the head trainer/nutrition guy and he said that was normal too but to keep an eye on things- he's not worried unless it continues. I haven't had another incident of it since, so I am just chalking it up to a fluke at this point.

Thanks for the questions and the support!
