About Me

Hi, single, live in Salt Lake City, Utah. I made a career change about 5 years ago - I do addiction counseling (yeah, thats ironic!) Mostly drug and alcohol counseling. Love it! Gained almost 50 lbs in three years in college. Prior to that, had been steadily gaining due to sedentary lifestyle, stress, you know the reasons/excuses.

Why I Want To Get In Shape

Inside, there is this fit, healthy, sporty person who loves the outdoors, hiking, camping, back packing, biking....

For some reason, she hasn't been out to play for a while! Well, she just turned 50, and its about time!

An added thought: On May 1, 2009, I decided I wanted this to be a record of my entire Odyssey, from the time I weighed the most which was April 10, 2006 to the present. So, even though I had already lost 19 lbs when I joined MFP on February 17, 2009, I decided to log those pounds, too.

***NEWS FLASH!!***

I recently discovered another place where I had recorded my weight and found an entry for May 9, 2008 which was significantly higher than what I thought was my all time high previously. So, in the spirit of recording the entire Odyssey, here is my highest weight ever: 507 lbs. YIKES!! So, now my ticker reflects this weight.

My Inspirations

  • Love the outdoors - want to really enjoy it again. I love MOAB UTAH!
  • Be in great shape!!!!
  • No more aching joints or lower back pain!!!!!
  • I want to be and do more with my life. I have a lot to share!
