Well, a bit late chiming in - it's been a busy week and got away from me. I'm Sylvie, I live in Olympia, WA, and have been SBDing since 11/30/2009 - so far down about 10 pounds (I've bounced around between 3 different scales in the past month because of travel, etc.. so for now it's "about" rather than a firm count...) of the 34 I set out to lose, so I'm pleased. But can always use the motivation to stay on the path! ;)
I work from home as a non-profit consultant - probably my biggest challenge, since I'm most often just down the hall from the kitchen. On the flip side, I sailed through the holidays never having to face all those "goodies" that co-workers bring to an office setting...I suppose, as Gilda Radner used to say, "if it's not one thing, it's another...".
One of my goals is to start walking regularly (as in every day...) - a bit daunting because I live on a fast-moving busy road (50 MPH major commute route) in the country, so there's no easy "neighborhood" to step out into. I think I need one of those flashing lights that bike riders wear...and also, I live in the Pacific Northwest, so starting a walking program this time of year is SOGGY. But I'm determined - so here goes...
Happy to be here. LOVING that I had to return a whole outfit unworn to Chicos the other day. I loved the outfit, but I bought it just before I started SBD and never got into it, and last weekend realized that I would never be able to wear it because it's TOO BIG...How cool is that!?!? ;)
