The Non-Magical, Non-Mystery Tour
Bear with me, I'm sort of a goofball, and as you will learn shortly, EXCESSIVELY VERBOSE.
I plan to start by losing around 120 pounds; I'll decide on a final goal once I get down there and see what the landscape is like (it's been a while!)
I lost 30 pounds on Weight Watchers in 2009, but then stress & life intervened and I gained it back, plus a little extra.
So here I am. Uh... hi!
I blog a bit here and there, as I have thoughts. ...

I blog a bit here and there, as I have thoughts. Anything that shows up is likely to be long (VERBOSE!) so if you do want to read it, you might want to grab a cup of coffee.
(I must give credit where credit is due: my page title comes from a blog by Linda Holmes, who is awesome and a better writer than I'll ever hope to be. My avatar is my version of what I would look like if the ever excellent Natalie Dee consented to draw my portrait.)

Member Since: 6/23/2012

Fitness Minutes: 5,267
My Goals:
Weight:
lose ~120 pounds
get to or near a "healthy" BMI
Fitness:
Run a 5k - Done! Turkey Trot 11/22/2012
Improve my 5k time
Practice 9/22/2012 49:56

Get stronger, especially upper body
Build muscle
Do "real" pushups
Do pullups
(obviously these are consecutive, not simultaneous goals)
My Program:
I just track everything I eat and looking at the data to make changes.
I already eat a lot of vegetables, so my main effort right now is to increase protein, decrease carbs a little, and watch fat and junky food on busy days when I don't have time to cook.
I have done Couch to 5k, but can't run right now due to injury.
I do a lot of swimming, and generally try to do some cardio 3x a week, and mix in some strength training here and there.
Mostly my plan is to not do anything I would hate to do "forever." So I don't plan to work out 7 days a week or give up any particular kind of food or anything like that.
Personal Information:
I live in The Jerz right now; we're hopefully buying a house sometime in the near future.
Married; no kids. But probably will think about having some within the next 5 years, so I'd like to get this weight off, and get in a little practice keeping it off, before then.
Other Information:
I want a dog more than anything on the face of this earth. I have only lived in dwellings that do not allow pets (parents' house, dorms, apartments with mean evil landlords who hate me and want me to suffer) since birth, so I have never had this singular joy. Hence the hopefully buying a house.
My main goal in life is to live someplace I can fill with dogs. And then fill it with dogs. Of my very own.
