Hi all!
My name is Sonya Kennedy and welcome to my weight reduction TBO.com/Tampa Tribune Challenge 2007. I live in New Tampa with my wonderful husband and our 3 kids. We moved here from Sacramento, CA about 5 years ago. Life is always busy and time is constantly a chore to handle...thus my battle of the bulge (mostly thighs and backside) (ha,ha) I work as a Finance Manager at a Lexus of Tampa Bay and my husband owns and operates Kennedy BBQ across from the Seminole Hard Rock Cafe. The kids are busy, busy, busy with school and family life.
I entered this challenge with 100% expectation that I would be selected to participate! I knew that this was for me! I’m excited and ready for the challenge!!!
Here are my goals for this challenge:
Learn to feed my body in a healthy, nutritious way and learn to use variety and good choice instead of stress eating
Lose 20-25 lbs of body weight off the scale
Replace some of my fat with drop dead gorgeous muscle
Learn to manage my stress in healthy ways and curb my emotional eating tendencies
Exercise on a regular basis (6x/week is my goal) 45-60 min. cardio and at least 3 45 min. sessions of weight training a week
Have fun and take care of me!
Along the way I’m sure I’ll learn a lot and promise to share all that I can by way of this blog in hopes that I can take someone with me on the journey to learn with me.
Come along on my “Fantastic Voyage”...yes I’m an ol’ school girl… LOL
comments are welcome...encouragement required and wanted…
Let’s do this!!!

You are so brave to bring the world into your weight loss journey. I wish you the best and look forward to learning with you. Like you, I also am an emotional eater and could use some pointers in conquering this habit.
Good Luck!!!
