Guest guest Posted October 1, 2001 Report Share Posted October 1, 2001 Hi, BFL-ers, My name is Cristi and I just wanted to take a sec to introduce myself. I was on the list from January to April 2001 and then popped off for a bit. I completed my first challenge in April and was quite successful. However, I made a bad decision (for me) and took a week off between challenges and never got back on track for challenge #2. I have started challenge #2 three or maybe even four times and got through week one or two before getting side tracked. In my first challenge I lost 22 pounds and was feeling great. I have gained a bit of it back but am now ready to get back on track. I really contribute a lot of my success in my last challenge to support I recieved on-line both here and also on the websites where I was able to read success stories. I think seeing other people's accomplishments really helps! And talking about foods and working out and eating situations really helps! So, I am back .... why I ever left is beyond me! I feel so wonderful doing BFL that it is amazing that I can get side tracked. I feel getting in shape and staying healthy is so important! As a mom to three young boys, I want to be around for a long time! And not just sitting around watching their soccer and baseball games. I want to be there helping them practice and running and playing with them as much as I can. I have always been over weight and was never pushed to do anything athletic. Last summer, my dh and I started running and I completed my first 5K. It was a great feeling! I am hoping to run a 10K the end of November. So, I started my second challenge for the last time today. I am not doing too much differently from my first challenge. My one big goal is to try to keep some accurate logs of not only what I am eating and lifting but also how I am feeling and what is making me eat or not eat correctly. Also, I plan on writing daily goals to help me out. Does anyone keep their goals and such in a blog? Was toying with the idea. Not sure if I want the whole internet looking at my goals but it would be an easy way to keep track of things. Personally, I live in IL with my dudes. I work on-line in a few different capacities ... I own my own web design company (WebPagesbyMom.com) and also am the Vice-President of Operations for a women's network on-line called HerPlanet.com. Looking forward to meeting all those who joined the list since April and remeeting all those that have been here for awhile! :-) Cristi c2d1w1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
