About Me:

I have been married almost 20 years to an special man. I have 3 kids, plus two precious grandchildren! My kids are all grown-up, they have familys now. Our boys are Pete the Pug and Parker the Pug, ❤️

Why I want to get in shape:

I started my journey August 8,2011 weighing 213.8! I never excerised and ate junk food. Today, May, 2012, I weigh in at 138, my goal. I eat very healthy and love to excerise. I've meet some wonderful friends here! Without them and my husband , I would of not been able to acheive this! ---------- Update : 3-17-2014 My weight is 135.3, this is my LOWEST weight since high school! When I FIRST started on MFP, I NEVER dreamed I would fit into a size 7/8 pounds! Plus during high school, I hated to run! Now, three years later running is my passion! I've done several 5k's and MOST morning I wake up before the birds for MY morning run! Yes, I CAN do 6 miles WITHOUT stopping! I'm NOT fast but my time is decent! This site has CHANGED my life for sure! --------- Update 6/30/2014 I've been in maintenance for 4 months now! I've been able to keep my weight between 129.4 - 138.8! The highest was right after vacation, my son's graduation! I'm starting to incorporate strength training plus get morning runs in! All this KEEPS me in a size 6 pants, YES! My NEXT goal is to COMPLETE a half marathon! Thinking the first of year 2015 would be perfect!!!! :) "There's a difference between interest and commitment.
