I'm a 32yr old female living in Toronto, ON. My day job finds me supplying camera related gear to forensic depts etc, and my offtime finds me doing plenty of crafty things including designing my own jewelry and band photography (www.darklydesigned.com)

I went to a Dietitian years ago to get on track with healthier eating when I found out I have high cholesterol and high blood pressure at only the age of 25. Don't get me wrong, I'm not obese, nor did I have really terrible eating habits. It seems I'm the lucky recipient of genetics, and they've been passed down to me... Happy Joy..

At the time I found out I had high cholesterol/blood pressure, I was able to lose weight by eating better portions and following the Canadian Food Guide and my Dietitian's Custom Instructions. Also I was walking every day which certainly made a difference as I don't think that changing my diet would have helped on it's own.

Since that time though plenty has happened in my life. My fiance and I broke up and as a result I have a different schedule, go to a different work, take a different route, and don't have a family to share these things with anymore. So now more than ever I need to get back up to speed with myself and how I take care of my body. Here's to a better lifestyle and feeling better about myself!
