About Me
I am a mother of two incredible children ages 11 and 13 and a wife of 16 years. I work full time (and then some) in the information technology field. I am on a mission to get healthy. So far I am down 30 pounds, quit smoking about a year ago and quit binge drinking several months ago. It has been a challenge to say the least. I often feel I am fighting a losing battle with an addictive personality. Most recently I am addicted to food and have to fight hard to keep my weight stable :-). Looking forward to being an active member here!

Close Alcoholism
I am an only child of an alcoholic father, who turned to drinking as a teenager to cope and continued drinking heavily until I was diagnosed with high liver enzymes at 41. I quit long enough to get that under control and then went back to it. I quit again 3 months ago.

Close Diets & Weight Maintenance
I am fighting the last 13 pounds to get to my goal, but having lots of trouble. I have lost 35 over the last few years, but anxious to lose the last few.
Treatments
- Counting Calories Somewhat Helpful
- I have a tendency to not record calories on days I know I am messing up, which defeats the whole purpose!
- Eating Healthier Foods Somewhat Helpful
- I do very well with this during the week, but not so much on weekends.
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- I work out to keep my cholesterol in check and to de-stress. This is a good habit and works very well. Some days I have a hard time getting to the gym due to my schedule, but I tend to get there at least 4 days a week.
Open Healthy Eating
I am on a quest to feel and look good. Quit smoking a year ago and drinking 4 months ago. Now, my goal is to eat healthy and cut out a lot of the sugar that I replaced alcohol with.
Treatments
- Organic Diet Working / Worked
- I eat some organic, but not everything by any means
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- I have managed to lose 35 pounds mostly from working out.
