Changing a Lifestyle

Ever since my senior year in high school, I have attempted (and eventually failed) diets on and off again for the past 12 years. The longest stretch I ever kept in my healthy weight range was 3 years during college. Soon after, I gained much of it back, and have fought with it since.

I believe though, that now I am in the proper frame of mind to make a lifestyle change to reign in the weight, and consistently and effectively incorporate exercise into my life.

I believe though, that now I am in the proper frame of mind to make a lifestyle change to reign in the weight, and consistently and effectively incorporate exercise into my life.

I know it will not be easy, and there will be setbacks and failures along the way. But nothing worth doing ever is, and this is certainly worth the effort and dedication.

My Goals:
I have three goals for this month:

1. Exercise at least 3 times a week during the Month of November and track it using Spark.

2. Track my food intake every day using Spark.

3. Aim for 8 pound loss during this month.

My Program:
 For exercise -
I am scheduling my workouts at 5:00 a.m. on my calendar, and will enter the results as soon as possible afterwards.

For Food Intake-
I am entering the day ahead the next day's meals already into the food tracker, that way I know what I need to buy/bring with to work to eat.

For Weight Loss-
The above two changes should help me accomplish this.

Personal Information:
I am from Minneapolis, MN, and reside in the Uptown area. I currently work three jobs (financial analyst, accountant, and floor associate). If you would like to know more about, feel free to ask

emoticon May You Always Have These Endless Gifts. emoticon

A star to light your way when you can't see what's ahead.

Strong winds beneath your dreams,
lifting you up and carrying you on.

Prayers, strong and deep, untying your cares
when the threads get tangled.

Hope in tough situations.
A harvest of moments, memories, and good times.

Sunshine amongst the clouds
and smiles that turn anguish to joy.

Silence when words aren't needed.

All that it takes to watch
your cares drift away.

Tomorrows as vast as the universe -

opportunities far beyond
what your heart believes.

Love, lasting and giving,
and a happy heart - every day, all year.
emoticon
Happy New Year

Much Love

Hey! I just wanted to let you know that as part of my new year cleaning I emptied my friends list. The new year is a great time to start fresh, and people do inevitably become inactive on SP so it's nothing personal, but I have removed you from my friend's list from the time being. Please respond if you are still active, and would like to remain friends. Thanks!

Sending y♥u L♥ve This H♥lliday

It was Christmas Eve on a Thrusday.
The shops was full of cheer,
With tinsel in the windows,
And presents twice as dear.
A thousand Father Christmases,
Sat in their little huts,
And folk was buying crackers
And folk was buying nuts.

All up and down the country,
Before the light was snuffed,
Turkeys they get murdered,
And cockerels they got stuffed,
Christmas cakes got marzipanned,
And puddin's they got steamed
Mothers they got desperate
And tired kiddies screamed.

Hundredweight's of Christmas cards,
Went flying through the post,
With first class postage stamps on those,
You had to flatter most.
Within a million kitchens,
Mince pies was being made,
On everyone's radio,
"White Christmas", it was played.

Out in the frozen countryside
Men crept round on their own,
Hacking off the holly,
What other folks had grown,
Mistletoe on willow trees,
Was by a man wrenched clear,
So he could kiss his neighbour's wife,
He'd fancied all the year.

And out upon the hillside,
Where the Christmas trees had stood,
All was completely barren,
But for little stumps of wood,
The little trees that flourished
All the year were there no more,
But in a million houses,
Dropped their needles on the floor.

And out of every cranny, cupboard,
Hiding place and nook,
Little bikes and kiddies' trikes,
Were secretively took,
Yards of wrapping paper,
Was rustled round about,
And bikes were wheeled to bedrooms,
With the pedals sticking out.

Rolled up in Christmas paper
The Action Men were tensed,
All ready for the morning,
When their fighting life commenced,
With tommy guns and daggers,
All clustered round about,
"Peace on Earth - Goodwill to Men"
The figures seemed to shout.

The church was standing empty,
The pub was standing packed,
There came a yell, "Noel, Noel!"
And glasses they got cracked.
From up above the fireplace,
Christmas cards began to fall,
And trodden on the floor, said:
"Merry Christmas, to you all."
