Back again after 4 years...and getting better all the time!

By the time I returned to SP in December 2012 I once again needed more than ever to lose weight (again) and to get back in shape. At that time I needed to lose about 50 pounds and improve general physical conditioning. My ticker shows my progress since I returned.
UPDATE: Completed the 5% Winter to Spring Challenge (results in 4/18/13 blog). Also, please read my blog posted on 2/16/13 for more about my journey back to SP. NEXT: Spring into Summer 5% Challenge - Awesome A team again!

Thanks for commenting on my blog.
The photo was from a "funny pictures" images I saw on the internet.
Thought I'd share the humor of what people actually do.
The world is no longer "normal".

Thank you for commenting on my hubby update blog. It is emoticon to have Bill home even though it is also a lot of work. I think if I watch my shoulder carefully it will heal quickly as I don't think it is caused by working out or overdoing. Have a fabulous week my friend. It is nice to have Bill home so that I can get back on my normal eating habits.
