This week we are celebrating international travel, so I have decorated my page with images from the Mayan world. The Maya were an incredible people, building their cities, temples, and monuments on limestone cliffs, on huge man-made plateaus, on mountains, and in deep jungles. The structures are beautiful works of art, the pyramids symbolizing mountains that, in the Mayan world, were entrances to the world of the underworld, the realm of the dead. I have visited all of the places shown on my sparks page--some multiple times--as well many other Mayan ruins. (Oct. 12, 2012)
I am a married graduate student in the process of trying to reclaim my health. I am hoping that Sparkpeople will help me get closer to where I want to be.

My Goals:
My primary goal is to be healthier. I want to have more energy, less stress, less pain, and to be able to live the active life I used to have.
Sub goals:
1) Preferably, lose 30-50 lbs
2) Gain back muscle mass and improve cardio fitness
3) Eliminate hip pain
4) Eliminate headaches
5) Eliminate carpal tunnel and tendinitis problems
6) Better manage allergies and asthma
My Program:
1) Eat a relatively healthy diet without obsessing about food. I refuse to stress about whether or not I eat another slice of meat or treat myself to a bit of chocolate. I aim for moderation when it comes to food.
2) Try to work out 5 times a week, both strengthening and aerobic exercises, preferably for at least 30 minutes a work out session. These work out sessions include exercises and stretches specifically assigned by my doctor for reducing hip and hand/forearm pain.
3) Drink plenty of water, take the prescribed medications, and try to live responsibly in regards to my allergies.
