About me:
I am motivated to be in losing weight mode and feeling pretty happy about that.


Diets I like:
I like Low carb! It gets me cooking..gets me in love with vegetables... then I like to add my elliptical plus meet w. friends to work out! I'm so social!!


Workout of choice:
Walks with friends or elliptical to good music work best for me. Home exercise equipment- elliptical, recumbant bike, weights, and treadmill. All in storage currently. Sometimes I get in a habit of long, sweaty cardio to good music... it is so good for me. Want to be like that again!


My plan:
Plan is whole foods/low carb and adding intense exercise. No obsessing w. weigh- ins! Weigh ins are every 12 weeks or so... otherwise my head gets crazy with the scale. I need to remember what works for me and stay steady. current GOALS 204 may 2015. get it back. 1. Low carb- lean protein, tons of veggies.. sparing oil, etc 2. Exercise- walking and hiking locally. Mostly w. Friends. lovely! been doing this lots! So good for my soul!! I need to start hopping on my indoor equipment for training for 5K/10Ks. 3. Food- log it! 4. Spend TIME cooking.
