Introduction Text My plan to make 2010 the "Year of Completion" didn't quite pan out, and with 2011 half over, I still have not made notable progress in this new year. I am still 20 pounds from goal -- a goal I had reached once upon a time -- and find that I still haven't quite mastered the healthy habits that will allow me to reach that goal and stay there without constant tracking. I am re-committing today (7/10/11) to consistency and diligence in making healthy food choices and exercising regularly. I need to do this for myself and I AM WORTH IT!! The First 2 Rules of Self-Improvement: #1 - It will be difficult. #2 - It will be worth it. "The smallest good deed is better than the grandest intention." ~ Barbara Walters "I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one." ~ Maya Angelou "When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us." ~ Alexander Graham Bell And another quote I love from a fellow Sparker's signature line: "You can't leave footprints in the sands of time if you're sitting on your butt. And who wants to leave buttprints in the sands of time?" ~ Bob Moawad

My goal is to be consistent in including some fitness activity in my day at least five days a week. That, along with moderate and healthy food choices, will help me reach my healthy weight goal this year.

I'm using the nutrition tracker sporadically to monitor my calorie count. I do strength training 2 times a week with light weights, and cardio (usually walking or riding a stationary bike) at least 4 times a week, usually more.

The middle-Atlantic states are my home. I was born and raised in Delaware, and attended college in Pennsylvania and grad school in New York. We have lived in New Jersey since we got married in July 1974.
