Introduction Text I am 32 years old and live in NM! I was 258 pounds when I gave birth to my daughter and I was 30 pounds overweight when I got pregnant (I had quit those damn cigarettes) and have lost 84 pounds over the last 3 years. This has been by far THE hardest thing I have ever done and continue to do. When I met my husband I was 128 pounds. Oh sweet 120's! I am tired of 'maintaining' at the weight I am at, even though I don't mean too. I work out a lot and have a tendency to fall off the wagon come friday on eating. This has changed because I WILL reach my 100 pound weight loss mark by Xmas. I am so close I can taste it. I have a pair of jeans that are tired of hanging on the back of my bathroom door and want to be worn. I want to enjoy running again and my muscles enjoy feeling sore and fit. I want to be an athlete again. I am participating in a spring triathlon in September 2009 as the swimmer. This will be the first event I have done in a decade and since gaining all this weight. My next goal is a 5K in October. I faithfully drinks at least 3 liters of water a day and I really try to eat clean and healthy. IT'S A NEW YEAR! Crap. Time to sweat, drink water and sweat. Cheers to FINALLY losing my fat butt. I did my first Tri Swim today as part of a team at this weight I am at and I am proud of myself for finishing with a swim time of 7:05! "Everyone is an athlete.

I love, love, love yoga. I love, love, love swimming. I am swimming 3-4 nights a week. This is my main source of cardio. I also do strength training 3 days a week. I picked up running again and am averaging 3 nights a week. I stay away from packaged foods and sugar. I concentrate on high protein and low carb and just eat healthy. I only drink water, hot tea and coffee. If I want a glass of wine, I have it.

I live in NM. The seasons are great and there is plenty to do outdoors! I grow alot of my own veggies and herbs and love it!!

It's never too late to be what you might have been. I faithfully drink at least 3 liters of water a day, and I always forget to post it.
