This blog chronicles my health, fitness, weight loss, and (finally!) weight maintenance adventures. I work out (usually) and follow the Weight Watchers plan (typically). I became a newbie runner (really!) by training using the couch to 5k plan, and soon I plan to train for a 10k (yikes!). I expect I'll also occasionally ramble on about other life experiences and events. There's more to life than fitness, or so I'm told.
About Me
- HappyBlogChick
- I'm a bit of a smart-ass and I love food. Mmmmmm fooooood ... Because of my food-love I had a few pounds of fat to lose and a few pounds of muscle to gain. I lost weight, and now I'm maintaining my weight loss. I'm maintaining the same way I lost - by following the Weight Watchers eating plan, setting weight and fitness goals, and doing cardio and strength training. This description makes me sound fitness-obsessed, and that's not really the case. I could do with a little more fitness-obsession, actually.
Stats, Goals and Gory Details
- Height: 5'6"
- Weight Goal: Staying in the low 130's, below 134 pounds.
- Goal Reached: March 24, 2008 (that's when I stayed at or below an average of 133 for a 7 day period). I've done it before, too. I originally reached goal in Summer 2003. I gained the damned weight back. I reached goal again in Summer 2006. And I gained some of the weight back.
- Other goals: Get fit, get strong, and maintain weight loss once I'm back at goal.
- Heaviest Recent Weight: 152.4 (Fall 2007)
- Heaviest Weight: 167 (December 2002, but also probably in 1998, although I didn't weigh myself then. Call me Cleopatra, queen of denial)
- Exercise Goal: Run 5k April 19th. Training using the Couch to 5k plan. Also aiming for strength training at least 2x/week.
