Who Am I?
A 38 yr old mother of one and wife of, well, one =)

I'm a native northerner (MI to be exact), transplanted to Florida

I manage the office of an AC/Engineering company. It isnt glamorous or fabulous, but it pays the bills and I like it (for the most part) and the ppl I work with (for the most part).

I enjoy...reading, hockey (Go Wings!), movies, music, board games, concerts, spedning time with my boys, swimming, hanging out by the pool (especially when tropical drinks are involved!), chilling out with my friends, baseball (Go Rays!), dabbling in writing and abstract painting & photography. I say abstract because Im not real good at it. Ha!

Im pretty funny. I crack myself up all the time.

I adore sarcasm.

Im a dork.

I consider myself a helpful person.

Im easily irritated by people in general - I just KNOW Im going to be one of those really crabby old ladies. And Im kind of looking forward to it.

In many instances, Im quite set in my ways. In theory I like to try new things, but mostly I consider myself creature of habit.

Why Am I Here?
To find hints, tips, motivation & inspiration. In Dec of 2008, I found out that I have PCOS and have probably had it for quite sometime. Ive been told a few things about PCOS: the best things you can do for it are exercising, losing weight and eating right. The flip side to that is women with PCOS usually have a harder time losing the weight. But I wont let that be my excuse. As frustrating as it has been lately, I just have to continue working on it.

What are my goals?
Get down to a healthy weight.
Accept it will take quite some time to get to that healthy weight.
Make better food choices, especially when dining out.
Commit to a regular gym routine again and just being more active in general.
Stop eating in response to emotions.
