I am 37, I am blessed to be married to my best friend with two German Shepherds, I am in the real etate business (10years, I have struggled with my weight and my relationship with food all my life. I had made a lifestyle transition starting in 2009 to become more healthy with food choices and more active, it was very successfull. I enjoy biking and swimming, weight training, and swim with our Masters swim team and absolutely LOVE IT! I am in the process of healing from a knee surgery in 2010 followed by a car accident in 2011 and am going stir crazy to get back to "active duty", this series of events has been a set back for me causing a weight gain of appx 25 lbs (FRUSTRATING!!! argh!!). So I am going back to basics and really looking at the nutrition piece and having to make the necessary adjustments to compensate for very restricted activity for the past 12 months. I am excited about this web site and looking forward to using it as a tool to help keep me 'honest' about my nutrition choices. Looking for some BUDDIES out there so we can support each other!!! A motivating thought for me is 'there are two types of pain... the pain of discipline or the pain of regret' CHOOSE wisely!!
