I live in MA and am married to my sweetheart Richie who is very supportive. Now that I've graduated and 'only' have to work 40 hours a day I am ready to focus on myself and being healthy! I am trying to get back to a healthy weight without the flab!

Member Since: 10/18/2006

SparkPoints: 11,598

Fitness Minutes: 8,678

My Goals:
Realize that this is a lifestyle change - not a diet - and that it is a forever change.
This summer - run 12 miles (prior goal of 9 exceeded!)

My Program:
I joined weight watchers in July of 2006 with great success. I followed their guidelines to a "t" in their Flex program. I no longer follow their points system, because it encouraged the wrong types of foods for me to be able to carry out long-term. I add cardio and strength training into the mix with good results.

Personal Information:
I live in Norwood, MA with my husband Richie and our two cats, Dudley & Spike. I just graduated law school and hope to find employment as a lawyer some day. I also work in insurance and teach Spike to be a badass in my spare time. I also love to garden and cook. I love reading, music and movies.

Other Information:
Richie and I love to travel. So far we have been to Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, Portugual, and cruises to the Bahamas, Haiti, Puerto Rico and St. Thomas and Mexico, Ochos Rios, and Grand Cayman. We're headed back to Jamaica for our five-year anniversary in March 2013!

Thanks for your comment on my blog post.

My point was that "American cuisine" is a blending and adaptation of the foods that new Americans brought from their birth countries. You mentioned the corn dog reuben -- hot dogs came from Germany but the US adapted it creatively. Ditto the Philly cheesesteak, since beef and cheese both came with settlers.

That's just some of what makes America so great -- creativity, imagination and ingenuity!

Thanks for the tip about running hills!

Hey, some unsolicited advice from an old lawyer who trashed her health with overwork and poor diet and exercise habits ~ DON'T DO IT! Establish those routines now, give them top priority. Schedule exercise like client meetings.

When I took my first bar exam I studied in the mornings, then went for a long run and reviewed what I'd learned in my head, worked out mnemonics and such. I swear, it helped my learning and my memory. It made the time left over more efficient and enjoyable.

Anyway, I know a hill monster like you probably has it all figured out. Just hoping for you that you don't let other priorities shift you away from the most important. Without your health nothing else in life works as well.

Thanks again for the hill advice, counselor.
