PART 1 - I Plan----- To get out of the 180s. (Goals) To reach this goal by JUNE 5. To enjoy the experience and feel proud of myself for taking steps to improve my life. Action Steps to Goals 1. 400 minutes of exercise a week. 2. 25+ grams of fibre every day. 3. No unplanned treats 4. -500+ CICO daily INFO about me... I am 60 years old and I started at 264 pounds in 1998 and have been trying to get down to 150 pounds since then. I have less than 30 pounds to go. I retired last year and have been hanging out at home a lot due to the pandemic. It wasn't the plan. The plan was to get out into the world and make some IRL (in real life) friends due to the fact that I don't really have many. I have way more online friends than IRL friends as I'm kinda shy. I have rheumatoid autoimmune disease (RAD) and osteoarthritis, which sometimes makes it difficult to exercise but I know that I always feel better afterwards. Sometimes you just have to push yourself to get going and once you're going, the pain often goes away. I've been married for 37 years and counting. We have no pets or kids by choice. I'm close to my family. In this pandemic age, I have been hiking with my dad rather than going to his place for dinner weekly. This is great as I'm not enjoying the fat and calorie-laden meals he likes to prepare and I'm getting exercise, too. I'm a music-a-holic especially alternative-rock and classic rock and go to a lot of concerts with my husband. We actually had 10 concerts booked last year but that obviously didn't happen. I love reading. My favourite genres are mysteries, romantic suspense and YA fantasy and sci-fi novels. I also love reading cookbooks and fitness books. I love exercising to DVDs and have over 200 workouts. My favourite forms of exercise are strength training, dance, kickboxing, hiking and swimming. I love native art and most of the art in our house is of the native sort. I am learning how to grow cannabis. I am learning how to knit. I am learning how to play the piano again on a portable keyboard. I enjoy cooking and love that I can now cook whenever I want and not just on the weekends when I had time. I'm looking forward to trying more new recipes this year.

To lose 10 pounds by the end of 2021. To read 200 books in 2021.

To follow the SparkPeople program. To exercise for a minimum of 45 minutes a day 6 times a week incorporating strength-training along with cardio. To drink 6 cups of water a day, minimum. To limit junk food/bad fats.

I live in Ontario, Canada with my husband, named Jake. I have no kids by choice but 13 nieces and nephews, whom I love and spoil. My birthday is May 12, 1960 and I've been married to Jake since March 24, 1984. I'd rather listen to music than watch TV. However, that said, I LOVE All Rise, various cooking competitive shows like Top Chef and Masterchef, home renovation shows and shows that have people trying to find a lakefront or beachfront new home.
