Personal

About Me
I'm 40 and I love cooking, reading, and running. I also love music from the '90s as well as classical and opera. After a recent layoff I am finding myself again through running. John "The Penguin" Bingham is a major inspiration for me regarding my running goal. He's written several books and has a column in Runner's World magazine. There's also a Newbie Chronicles column that cracks me up--the author's ability to laugh at himself (his triumphs and challenges) is heartwarming. I am an avid reader and lately I have been splitting my reading time between autobiographies, tech journals, and Runner's World magazine. Here at Excelle, the quizzes, articles, and videos are informative, inspiring and just plain fun. With so many to choose from the groups are a great place to find support through new friendships. And if you're new here, welcome to our community : ) To every member here at Excelle I wish you all the best in what you want in life. We can do it! (whatever "it" is for each of us)
Hobbies:
Reading, Sports, Cooking, Writing, Performing Arts, Yoga / Pilates, Music, devout Dave Ramsey fan
Favorite Movies:
Charlie's Angels, Office Space, G.I. Jane, MaxedOut (documentary), girlhood (another documentary), Kathy Griffin: Allegedly
Favorite TV Shows:
Rescue Me, The Odd Couple, King of the Hill, Fat Actress
Favorite Music:
Sarah McLachlan, Van Halen (the Sammy Hagar years), violin concertos, opera, music from the 1990's

    Francesca,
    I don't know if you recently put your "about me" up, or if I've just missed it, but I appreciate that you are so open and sharing with us. I hope you stay involved here and make many friends and connections. I'm very proud of your weight loss, and reading your story came at the right time for me....I've started my diet today. Thanks!
