Going mostly vegan has made a huge difference in my over all health and greatly improved medical tests. I still eat wild salmon when not on a vegan challenge, but I eat mostly legumes, vegetables, and fruit. (Fitness continues to be a major goal. I am continuing to build my fitness levels. My goal is to be able to run 7 miles by December 2010.)

My goals include getting healthier and fitter. I have recently changed to a mostly meatless (except fish), dairy-free, caffeine-free, sugar free. I've begun learning to cook my own organic lentil and bean soups. I would like to drop four sizes in clothes by the end of the year.

Treadmill for one hour per day, alternating high-low from 4.5 range down to 3.5. My goal is to get from 5.0 to 6.0. Add 30-60 minutes of ellyptical most days. Running 3 to 4 miles 3 times per week.
Strength training is Jari Love Extremely Ripped with two eight-pound weights.
Personal Information:
My husband and I both live in the city, and we love the convenience of it. I miss the ocean, as I grew up in Maine. We try to get to the ocean any chance we can get.
Other Information:
My husband and I plan to return to Hawaii next year. I am hoping to be in much better shape in order to hike ancient Hawaiian trails.
I also hope to return to St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands and to some day hike the Himalayas.
