What is your exercise goal that you hope to achieve in three
months?
To do an intense aerobic work-out for 45 minutes, to increase my
reps (lifting).

How would your best friend describe you?
Loyal friend who loves to laugh and have a good time.

Describe the type of person you aspire to be or
what changes you hope to make in your life.
I would like to be the "in shape" girl that wakes up early to
run 5 miles a day and looks forward to it. I would like to be the type of
person that walks in the house and goes for a glass of water, instead
of a soda or juice.  I would like to be satisfied with grabbing an
apple for a snack instead of a sandwich.  

What types of exercise do you like doing?
I love lifting weights and riding my bike.  I love hiking.

What types of exercise do you NOT like doing?
I don't like treadmills or stationary bikes.

What is your favorite food or meal to eat?
I love pasta with garlic sauce.

What do you see when you look in the mirror?
A very unhealthy person.  I see a woman who WILL have
diabetes if she does not get healthy.

Do you have any fun or interesting stories involving an
exercise or diet program that you tried but did not work out?
My husband and I use to walk
the stairs at a Building downtown during lunch (from
the bottom - 30 flights).  It was great for awhile but
my husband is in really great shape (he walks up the
stairs in his building everyday to the 10th floor) and
sometimes he would walk in front of me and it would
upset me because I thought he was showing off so... I
stopped.  ARG!
