Introduction Text Hello Everyone! Welcome to my Spark People homepage. I've created this to help me track my progress of slimming down to a healthier me. In my blog, you'll find messages from me regarding my good days as well as my not so good days. I hope this helps others to understand that they're not alone when it comes to the trials and tribulations of losing weight and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. My journey began on 1/1/07, and by the end of May 2007, I was down 42 lbs. and feeling great. I felt that I looked good as well, but being tall, things didn't look right anymore. My hubby didn't like that I lost my "bottom". I didn't like it either and from there I let myself go. As of May 1, 2008 I have gained back the 42 lbs. including an additional 5 lbs. I'm so embarrassed and dissappointed in myself. I'm not going to sit around and have myself a pity party, I'm officially back on track to healthy living. Thanks Sparkpeople for always being there for me!! ;o)

My goal is to slim down from 243 lbs. to 190 lbs. I'm 6'1" and this will be a perfect size 14/16 for me. Yes, I know it seems big, but remember, I'm 6'1" :) I want to have more self confidence, but most of all I want to be healthy for ME and my family. I don't want to leave this Earth no sooner that GOD has intended for me. :)

My program consists of whole grains and fruits. No added sugars, (just natural sugars) and no more sweets. My whole grains consist of the Kashi Go Lean products, whole grain and/or whole wheat breads/rice and low fat and no sugar added products. Fruits and plenty of vegetables. My exercise routing consists of cardio 3 days a week and strength training 3 days a week.

I'm originally fron NYC but now reside in NC.
