Mon., Oct. 29, 2007 - Coming up on my 5th anniversary in a few months 
&
still "at home" in my size 8-10 body; 
still enjoying feeling strong & fit, working out at the gym & cardio biking or walking!
Still enjoying the freedom FROM dieting and fearing food.
If I could figure out a way to import new photos to this new Profile platform I would. 
If you want to see more recent photos, you'll have to go to my own blog:
