| About me: |
I'm 46 years old, married and a mother of an eight year-old daughter, ten-year-old son and 19 year-old step-son. I have been freelance writting since leaving my career to be home with my kids in 2004.
I started on Peer Trainer in Fall 2007 and lost 65 pounds by the following May by logging my food and exercise daily. I became a regular exerciser until I tore my ACL skiing in 2010, I'm still going through PT after my surgery in Sept. 2011, but am working back to a daily routine of vigorous exercise, hoping to lose the 35 pounds I re-gained. I want to teach my kids, and be a good role model, to have helathy eating habits and fun active lives.

| Diets I like: |
The Weight Watchers tracking system (not necessarily as a member). Writing down everything I eat and drink and being accountable to others is a tremendous help and motivator for me. I also enjoy sharing mini victories with others who have similar weight-loss and exercise goals.
|
|
| Workout of choice: |
I hope to build up my strength so I can again enjoy jogging, biking, spinning classes, step and body pump classes at the YMCA
|
|
| My plan: |
A minimum fo 60 minutes of exercise each day. Three days of strength, 3 days of cardio. Log food every day, drink 8 glasses of water every day. 7-8 hours of sleep/night
|
|
| I need the most help with: |
1. Portion sizes/staying under daily point allowance
2. Staying in control when eating out or while vacationing.
