RITA'S TEAM MOTTO
In order to move past your mistakes you have to keep pushing yourself forward. The only person who is still beating you up over what you did is you and it's time to move on. You are not perfect, that's no mystery. But no one else is either. Set a goal today. Hold yourself to a high standard and force yourself to rise to your own expectations. Give yourself an emotional hug and start focusing on the future. You've learned from where you've been.
Continue to be STRONG, DETERMINED, AND SUCCESSFUL!!
Life is not about waiting for the storms to pass. It's about learning how to dance in the rain. Vivian Green. . . . I know I’m a dancer.

My Program:
Walking is my favorite aerobics. I look forward to jog/walking until I can complete a bonafide C25K. Weight training will be an effort.
THE PLAN:
MWF: AEROBICS
Walk , Spinning, Wii Fit, Spark Exercise Videos for an hour.
GOAL is 10,000 steps/day
TU,TH, SAT:
WEIGHT TRAINING- Push ups, Sit ups and Squats
ADDITIONAL "in home" WORKOUT ARSENAL:
Wii Fit, Treadmill, Total Gym, Ellipitical, P90x, Spinner with videos and JOURNALING
Personal Information:
I've never met a stranger, I didn't know. I can strike up a conversation with ANYONE.
My motto is to LOVE everyone the way God loves us. I'm happily married to my best friend and have 3 kids, 5 grand kids and love them to pieces. My family is very diverse ethnically and culturally. I'm determined to be a postive force in the world.
I work at patience, kindness, understanding and acceptance.
Biggest flaw:
STAYING ON TRACK, being consistent with weight loss plan. Maybe I'm AFRAID of success or the dread of buying a smaller size clothes.
FAVORITE PASTIMES: Theatre, Movies, Karaoke, and Touring Homes, Family Time. dreaming of winning the lottery and retiring to do more of the above mentioned.
Other Information:
DAILY MEAL PLAN:
MEASURE PORTIONS!!!
Eat every two to three hours. Meals consists of 15g of carb and a minimum of 10g of protein at 250-300 calories. I drink a minimum of 8-15 glasses of water/day. New 24 oz bottles that are BPA free. No more plastic water bottles. I cut off eating at 7-8p.
Thru journaling, I've discovered that I struggle with dinner, by FAR my worst meal of the day. To counter that I use crockpot cooking, PLANNED meals with salad.
SECRET WEAPON:
Sugar free gum and water, lots of water.
CARB RULE:
Eat only whole wheat pastas and brown rice in 1/2 c portions.
SWEETS and CHINESE FOOD AND FRIED CHICKEN WINGS (a.k.a)THE DEVIL's FOOD.
When my Mojo is on:
Eat sugar free alternatives, 100 calorie pre-packaged treats, fruit or sugar free chewing gum.
I LOVE FRUITS & VEGGIES.
