Introduction Text Welcome to my page! It's time to start getting serious about my health, and this seems like a good place to start. I am interested in losing weight, eating healthier foods, and working out regularly with the objective of getting back into running. I think this is a great place for me to be as I don't have much in the way of support for these sorts of goals in real life. 2010 Goals: Weight-related Goals: * 10% by mid-January - DONE! - Reward was a spinning bike. * 25 lbs by February 3 - DONE! - Reward was Jillian Michaels Biggest Winner DVDs. * 15% by March 10 - DONE! * 20% by April 21 - DONE!

1. Lose weight. I would like to lose about 80 lbs. 2. Get in better shape through regular exercise, the goal being to get back into running. 3. Eat healthier as a lifestyle. 4. Improve my sleep habits - get at least 7 hrs per night. 5. Meet some new people and develop a better support network.

1. I plan to eat 1200 - 1400 calories per day of healthy foods. 2. I plan to walk/run (moving toward running only) 5-6 days per week, 40 - 70 minutes per session. 3. I plan to cross-train on my spinning bike or by using segments of various fitness DVDs for 10 - 30 minutes 2-3 times per week. 4. Finally, I plan to do some strength training 2 - 3 days per week.

On December 6, 2009, I began a virtual walk/run across America - 457.9 miles complete and in the state of Virginia. I am a member of Weight Watchers and weigh-in on Wednesdays.

Hobbies: Scifi TV/films (Star Trek, Babylon 5, nuBSG, Firefly, Farscape, Roswell, Stargate, Buffy/Angel, etc), nuWho, Classic Film (TCM junkie), Computer Graphics, and International Travel. I am a borderline-obsessed LOST fan. I own two Yorkshire Terriers and am a confirmed 'dog person'.
