Introduction Text I've been gone awhile...like...a few years. Doing well and feeling the tug back to the Sparkpeople community.

My goal is to adopt and maintain a healthier overall lifestyle. I also need to lose 25 pounds, although I've made my current goal 15 lbs. Maybe if I attempt this in smaller bites, I'll have some success. Met Goal #1: 15 lbs. gone! 5/15/13 Onto Goal #2...lose 5 more. Run a 5K - Done. 6/16/13 (walked some) Run a 5K without walking.

Recently joined Orange Theory Fitness. I only go twice a week, so I need to supplement with cardio and strength training on my own for the other days of the week.

My name is Sharon and this is my third try at sticking to the Spark Program. I feel more determined this time. I've decided that with two teenage boys, who are quite busy with their own lives, and one husband, who is also very busy working and following his dreams, I need to start focusing on myself a bit. I'm an elementary school Reading Specialist and Dyslexia Specialist. I feel that what I do is valuable, although I don't always feel valued. I try to overlook that part of the job and focus on my students. They are great! I grew up on Long Island, but moved to Pennsylvania as a very young adult. I've been here ever since. I'd love to connect with other middle-aged women who have succeeded in making positive changes in their weight and in their lives.

I began my streak on Jan. 20, 2014. Drink 8 glasses of water a day and exercise for at least 10 minutes everyday.
