My Journey to a Healthier Me!
Hello! My name is Heather and I just moved to Baltimore. I grew up in Wisconsin, so I still bleed Green & Gold! ;) My starting weight in July, 2004 was 240. I've been on SP since September, 2004 and I love the support from the coaches and people I've met on the message boards. I lost 80 pounds between July 2004 and July 2005, when a knee injury dampened my momentum.

Hello! My name is Heather and I just moved to Baltimore. I grew up in Wisconsin, so I still bleed Green & Gold! ;) My starting weight in July, 2004 was 240. I've been on SP since September, 2004 and I love the support from the coaches and people I've met on the message boards. I lost 80 pounds between July 2004 and July 2005, when a knee injury dampened my momentum.
I am an emotional eater, and a perfectionist. I struggle with a bad all-or-nothing mentality. I need to constantly remind myself that every little victory counts, and forgiving myself is critical for success in this journey.
My goals for November are:
1. Add two strength training days: Monday and Saturday
2. Get under 170 lbs FOR GOOD! (I'm at 171, so I hope to be there soon)
3. Maintain control - Stay in calorie range 80% of the days of November (24/30 days). REWARD: new red boots

My Goals:
To be happy, healthy, and feel good about myself both physically and mentally. I'm 5''10" and my journey began at 240 lbs in July, 2004. Since joining SP in September, I lost 80 lbs and as of July 1, 2005, I was 10 lbs away from my goal weight of 150-155 lbs. Stress & life has caused me to regain some of that weight, but I'm looking to get back on track and achieve my goals!
My Program:
Taking better care of myself and making my health a priority! Maintaining a sense of awareness about what I eat and how much.
Getting back into the exercise groove. My goal is to get back into running...slowly, as my knee will allow. My goal is to run a 5K.
Cycling, ArcTrainer, running (4x/week)
Strength (2x/week)
Build myself back up gradually. I can't expect to be back in prime shape immediately!
Personal Information:
I'm 32 and originally from Wisconsin (Go Packers!). I'm currently living in Baltimore, MD.
Other Information:
I love the outdoors.
