Let's get this party started!

Oh Wow! It's been a year now on Sparkpeople and I've made some good changes in my lifestyle. Now I have to work on consistency - that is my big downfall.

I have rid myself of the fast food addiction which was huge for me as I ate out 7 - 10 times a week. Now I eat at home 90% of the time making food from scratch. But somehow the scale hasn't moved much this past year and I've been stuck around the 200 mark gaininng and losing the same 5 pounds over and over again. Very ...
Oh Wow! It's been a year now on Sparkpeople and I've made some good changes in my lifestyle. Now I have to work on consistency - that is my big downfall.

I have rid myself of the fast food addiction which was huge for me as I ate out 7 - 10 times a week. Now I eat at home 90% of the time making food from scratch. But somehow the scale hasn't moved much this past year and I've been stuck around the 200 mark gaininng and losing the same 5 pounds over and over again. Very frustrating.

So this year - it's kicking up the fitness. Spring is coming soon and I"m going to start walking outside again. I lost some muscle tone after stopping my DVD workouts so those are coming back into the mix.

My goal this year is to shed 40 lbs. That's 20% of my current weight. I'm going to do it smart. Real food - watch the portions - Eat to LIve and all that jazz. Getting moving again will be the key.

I love to be outdoors. I love going to the cabin as often as possible to just be out amongst the trees, to gaze at the lake and watch the animals and birds do their thing.

I used to be a big athlete in high school and into my 20"s but got lazy in my 30"s and some 20 years later here I am with 75 extra pounds to lose....

This is my year... enough " practicing losing weight" now it's time to do it.....

LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
