Change only takes place through action, not through meditation and prayer. --The Dali Lama
Well, here I am again. Joined back in January of 2011 and lost 26 pounds that year, down to a good weight. I looked and felt wonderful. In the past six months or so, I've gained a lot of that back and so here I am again. Why did I gain it back? Well, first off, I didn't stay at my goal weight for very long. But, I did hold steady at a weight that I thought was okay. Not thin, not fat, just ok. And I was happy with it. Then, we started traveling! We had people visit us, we visited people, went ...
Well, here I am again. Joined back in January of 2011 and lost 26 pounds that year, down to a good weight. I looked and felt wonderful. In the past six months or so, I've gained a lot of that back and so here I am again. Why did I gain it back? Well, first off, I didn't stay at my goal weight for very long. But, I did hold steady at a weight that I thought was okay. Not thin, not fat, just ok. And I was happy with it. Then, we started traveling! We had people visit us, we visited people, went to Disneyland, went to Europe, Sun Valley twice, I could go on.....All those trips did me in. I seem to think that a train or airline ticket means a ticket to eat whatever I want. (And drink! We downed barrels of beer in Belgium.) Now, here I am needing the good peeps of Spark to help me lose it again. I know I can do it! I learned so much on here last time. Wish me luck!

My Goals:
To participate beyond my wildest dreams in the Spring to Summer 5% Challenge and to lose at least 5% of my starting body weight.
I will track all food eaten and all drinks dranken(!), even on embarrassing days. It may hurt you to read my food tracker.
I will exercise like a fiend to earn my team miles.
I will cheer on my team mates and fellow competitors.
My Program:
I will track everything I eat and shoot for under 1300 calories a day.
I will work out at least 6 out of 7 days and no wimpy stuff either.
I will avoid processed carbs such as potatoes, rice, pasta, and bread. I truly believe it's carbs making us fat. No alcohol, I am done with that.
Personal Information:
I live in Fort Collins Colorado, which I love. Am happily married with four children, all grown. I am a Web developer and make awesome web sites. I was born in South Bend, then moved to Tucson and now in Colorado. I hike, I bike, I ski, I walk, I don't sit still much, except to read a good book.
