Introduction Text I am a work in progress (aren't we all?). I am trying to focus on each day as it comes. My current effort is to remind myself that today is what matters. I do not think of my choices in terms of forever but rather in terms of the moment. What have I learned in my short time with SparkPeople? I've learned that TODAY is forever. Can I drink eight glasses of water forever? I don't know, and the thought is overwhelming. But what isn't overwhelming is this: Can I drink eight glasses of water TODAY? Yes. Absolutely. And today is what counts. It's what matters. And it applies to every choice. Can I get in at least five fruits/veggies today? Sure I can. Can I make that decision today? Yep. That's doable. Today is my forever. Today is how I make it happen. Today is my inspiration. Discoveries from my Journey... 1/13/2011 I am on the HEALTHY TRAIN! Choo choo! 10/23/10 I am a Goal Setter! :) 10/22/10 I am a loser! As in, I lost 10% of my weight! 10/18/2010 I am a WEEKEND WARRIOR! I will not let the weekends get the best of me! It's time for some good, healthy planning! 10/14/2010 I am a guilt-free me! I am DONE feeling bad about myself! That's my new motivational effort! I'm trying to remind myself everyday that there is no guilt in life! There is celebration, progress, success, and there is MOVING ON when it is necessary. So who wants to join me in the GUILT-FREE ME Revolution? It's time to be guilt free! 10/13/2010 I am a planner! Who knew?!

Returned to food tracking and weight management effort as of 7/10/14. My first goal this year is to lose approximately 20 pounds by mid-October.

I will be accountable, but I will not be too hard on myself. I am working on some changes having renewed my commitment in 2014. Right now, I am diligently tracking everything I eat/drink, which ensures that I log in each day. I am closely monitoring my sodium and make a strong effort to stay as close as possible to recommended daily range, due to some concerns with the way medication has affected my blood pressure. More to come!

I can take the next thing that comes along.' You must do the thing you think you cannot do.” ¯ Eleanor Roosevelt, You Learn by Living: Eleven Keys for a More Fulfilling Life
