Introduction Text Well I hit my goal last year and I maintained pretty well! This summer's indulgence got away with me a little bit though, and I gained 10 lbs. So I'm back again to start being more conscious again. I'm training for a couple runs coming up. I have a 10k in about 3 weeks (mid-October 2014), and a half-marathon in March. I'm really nervous about the half-marathon! In the time since I've last logged in, I've switched careers and moved countries! I am now a full time physics teacher and I live in Germany (near the border with the Czech Republic). I am absolutely loving my life here (though the beer isn't helping with my weight maintenance)... but I've met several friends who are all living healthy lifestyles, and one of who has turned out to be the PERFECT running partner for me, so I feel very lucky!

I'm tracking my nutrition, trying to eat around 1300 calories per day. Trying to burn between 200-300 calories per day through vinyasa yoga and interval jogging, as well as building strength through home-based weight lifting.

I live in Germany between Dresden and Leipzig.
