Wag more, bark less. You can do anything. Except live without oxygen. And gravity is nice, too. But aside from that -- anything's possible!

October 28, 2008 -- thank you thank you THANK YOU Doneys for naming me Done Gal O' The Day and somewhere in there I was named a Motivator as well. I can hardly believe it. Today's song is for you.
February 17, 2009 -- thank you thank you THANK YOU Kind Buds for naming me Kind Buddy O' The Week. Yesterday's song, if I may, is for you. Party on! :)
March 25, 2009 -- thank you thank you THANK YOU for naming me the Spark Motivator of the Day! How the heck did THAT happen? Seriously, I am humbled and grateful and newly motivated and trying to think of how I'm going to thank everyone individually. This may involve dog slobber. Or, if you prefer, coupons for free smart aleck comments. ;)
April 21, 2009 -- I was interviewed (3 times!) on GMTV about my experiences with weight loss and alli. Here's a link to the first interview: http://www.gm.tv/index.cfm?articleid=34368

Goals for 2010
1) Get a new job. A good one, that interests me.
2) Lose the last 35 lbs (I lost 110 in 2008 and 55 in 2009). This will put me at healthy BMI with a cushion of about 9 or 10 lbs.
3) Get down to my High School measurements (36-29-39).
4) Surgery on 1/25/10 (will help with #3). DONE!
5) Continue to treat myself better and better. Learn new recipes. Improve and change up strength training and cardio. Get good rest. Drink the water.
6) There is no #6.
7) At least eight 5K races (I did six in 2009).
8) Continue training for 5Ks. Improve speed, endurance, running portions and kick at the end. This means a lot of walking/jogging around the Chestnut Hill Reservoir.

My Goals:
200 lbs. have to go (I'm having a fire sale). 165 gone so far. BMI: 29.1.
-- For my older goals, see the nifty chart in my gallery! Double-click it to enlarge. ---
*** Twelfth goal of 10 more off. A work in progress. Once I make it, I will have lost 176 lbs., AKA about 50.1% of my original weight.
*My long-term goal is 146. Only 35 lbs. to go! Come count down with me!*

My Program:
Diet, exercise (resistance bands, Joyce Vedral's 20-minute daily workout book, a big honkin' yellow stability ball, the gym and walking, a touch of Pilates) and I used to take alli. Oh and my own will, your love, you wonderful Sparkies, plus the ability to lie to myself about why chocolate is evil.
Personal Information:
If Boston is the Hub of the Universe, I live in the Gateway to the Galaxy.
I am bigger than a breadbox. I am ... The Data Empress AKA The Access Whisperer. Hire me! Pretty please?!
I am also rapidly becoming a cute person, if I do say so m'self.
