SO i decided am gonna start something good this day. So i am back on SP...i have no right to ask for anyone else to be here to support me or be my buddy....have come and gone too many times for that. So let me begin this journey alone...for now May 2012 So 3 yrs have gone since my last update here!! a lot has changed in the last 3 yrs¡KI am now a single woman again after being married for 9 yrs and it took its emotional toll which of course had to manifest in weight gain. I was at my highest weight in June 2010 at 225lbs but by last year October I had managed to come down to 184lbs and then India happened!! Long story short I am back to 198lbs again. I started working out and am still working on my food intake. I still have to find that dedication I had last year but at least I am in a better place in my mind¡Kdoes that count? I guess it does!! It makes me happier and more focused. So my goals for this week are 1. to work out at least 4 days a week and burn 1500 calories in total 2. stay within my calorie range for food 3. track my food and exercise everyday 4. Get in bed by 11 pm latest 5. Restrict added sugar intake I am reaching out to my friends here to keep me accountable and motivated¡KI know I can depend on them ƒº May 12th 2009 I had moderate success last year and i lost 24lbs in 8 months...nothing great but steady. then life took over and i lost my mojo for 3 months and gained 13 of the lost lbs and 25 inches!!! (whats with that!!...well some points to loyalty...the inches found their way home wahhh) Now again after much soul searching and realising its going to be a life long struggle I am ready to start again!! hopefully I am smarter and wiser this time around (hey I can only hope!!) so here we go on this topsy turvy frustrating yet rewarding jourbey again....are you with me?? here are my daily goals Goals 1.

I fell off the wagon majorly and now I am back....my new goals are to live a more healthy lifestyle and not obsess only on weight

watching what I eat...sometimes I watch and watch and in the end eat it :) also trying to do regular stretch and cardio exercises..this site is a lot of help

I am originally from India but living in the US for the last 9 yrs. Sometimes tracking the calories for my everyday Indian food is difficult but I am sticking to it. If there is someone in the same boat as me..lets connect!!!

I love reading...anything!! Calvin and Hobbes being my current fav...a BIG PG Wodehouse fan
