This is me, doing what I love best: singing. Especially when it's with one of my kiddos.

SparkPoints: 27,000

Fitness Minutes: 12,349

My Goals:
I need to lose weight. However, I want to do this reasonably by making diet & lifestyle changes so it's not only "do-able" but "keep-able." Through all this, I'm hoping I can teach my children better habits that will allow them to live healthier, also.

My Program:
So far, I'm making small changes. Logging in my nutrition has made me VERY aware of how unbalanced my eating was. The exercise habit is a bit slower in becoming regular, but every bit helps.

Update 7/2012: I've discovered I really like riding my bike!

Update 12/2012: Finding that I actually want to fit in exercise, rather than feeling obligated and dreading it.

Reward: When my weight loss reaches 50#, I'm going to treat myself to a sexy set of matching bra & undies. I will NOT be posting photos, lol.

Personal Information:
Living in the uppermost tip of the "chimney" in PA with a hubby who treats me like a queen, three terrific kids who are not as young as I keep thinking they are, a bunch of dogs & cats who think we're their servants, and chickens...who really don't think much at all.

My fortune cookie the other day: "Failure is the opportunity to begin again more intelligently."

Other Information:
"No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it." Hebrews 12:11

Thanks for stopping by my blog on 'cardio'--hope you're having a terrific day! Thanks especially for the links--I will sit down tonight and go thru them. The abs site sounds like something I really need to do! emoticon

I thought I was doing a good job reading those ingredients too. The more I read on what those things actually are, the more I want to cook from scratch. I'll have to read the labels on the things I have in my house again. I hope you enjoyed my blog, I'll be looking into more ingredients for a while to see what else is trying to kill us slowly.

Last night's bike ride was cold & wet, but everyone that showed up braved the weather, so I didn't want to be the only wimp (peer pressure isn't just for teens). The forecast did not include rain, so I wasn't dressed for it. I warmed up after the first hill climb, but by the end of the ride (16 miles), my toes were going numb. I need to ride with the club more often--it pushes me out of my comfort zone. We rode an average speed of 13.5 mph. over rolling hills. I'm a CC rider (12-14 mph), but would like to move up to the B riders (14-16) by the end of the summer. emoticon

Oh please - oh please - oh please - can you share the recipe for the date-nut bars? I'd love to see it (sounds like something I would like!)
