About Me:

I was pretty much fat my whole life, or I at least always remember people pinching my cute chubby cheeks since I was at least three. It wasn't until after I became a chronic disease and behavioral epidemiologist did I realize the effect of my unhealthy dietary habits and sedentary lifestyle. I decided to take action and blog about my weight loss efforts in an open forum. Since I started this journey, I've lost about 75 pounds.

What are your goals?

To lose weight and be healthy!

Favorite Music:

I listen to a variety, but love 80's, 90's, Top 40, rock, hip hop, r&b, classical, and since moving to Texas, even a bit of country!

Favorite TV Shows:

If I have the time, I enjoy CSI, Criminal Minds, Will & Grace, Friends, How I Met Your Mother, etc.

What is your current exercise routine?

On a good day, I'm doing 1.5-2 hours of cardio and 1 hour of weight training. I meet with a trainer twice a week.

What diets have you tried?

I followed Weight Watchers for a bit, but never participated. It's mainly calorie counting for me!

What things do you want to do before you die?

All those crazy adventurous things - bungee jumping, sky diving, swimming with the sharks, parasailing, etc.

What is your favorite book?

A classic: Of Mice or Men
