TWISTEDTWIN69

I am an introverted extrovert with a kind soul. I am very loyal to those close to me. I laugh easily and have a wicked twinkle in my eye once I get past my shyness. I am a great conversationalist with a sharp sense of humor. I love to meet new people, though my shy streak gets in my way at times. One on one time is my favorite time, but I typically find group gatherings are fun too. I am a non smoker and non drinker, but never begrudge another her/his Goddess given right to a tasty beverage or two. I love to chat about the world at large, play with my 3 dogs, or just sit quietly and listen to the grass grow.

My ultimate goal?
Go from 215 lbs to 145 lbs!

Here is my plan -
Limit my calorie intake and exercise at least 30 minutes 3-4 times a week.

I actually began on April 1, 2008 with 212 lbs as my starting weight and by Feb 1, 2009 my weight was 192 lbs. Then is when I lost my mind for awhile and by Nov 9, 2009 I had gained 18 lbs back. I remained at 210 lbs until January of 2011. I gained even more weight between January and March of 2011.
It has taken more than a year for me to recover from my self sabotage and gather enough "sick and tired of being sick and tired" to attempt it again. And so March 5th, 2011 at 215lbs and my battle begins... again....

Ironically, on March 6, 2011, one day after I wrote the words above into my profile, I suffered a stroke. Laying there unable to move I had the realization I was killing myself literally and this was the exclaimation point to my wake up call. I know it is the only one I might get.
