BigT-On the Road Again

I turned the big Double Nickle last year! My life sure isn't what I envisioned it would be at this stage of my life. It was going along quite nicely until about 10 years ago then the poop hit the fan. My life took a 180 turn (several times) and here I am.
I have had to re-adjust my sails many times and made it through some pretty tough storms. I didn't always like the way things turned out, but I feel stronger for the journey.

I have had to re-adjust my sails many times and made it through some pretty tough storms. I didn't always like the way things turned out, but I feel stronger for the journey.
When I joined Sparks 4 years ago, I was a broken person...both mentally and physically. The support of the wonderful people I met here have helped me to heal. I lost weight and gained my confidence again. They helped me to see that no matter what the world throws at me, I can survive.

Fitness Minutes: 80,717

My Goals:
I joined SP in July, 2008, lost 46 lbs. and was doing a good job of keeping it off...until May of 2010. That is when my world as I knew it ceased to be. In just two short months I had to change jobs (after 30 years), change states (after 53 years) and leave all my family behind. I put back on 20 of those hard fought lbs. Now that I am settled into my situation a little better, I am trying to get a handle on my eating (and my attitude) once again. I want to lose this weight (again).

My Program:
I am trying to keep an eye on what I eat by tracking it on SP and get my 8+ glasses of water a day. I ride my bike as much as I can. I have gotten myself into the habit of riding my bike or walking to do my errands. I also wear my pedometer all the time and try to see how many steps I can add up each day.

Personal Information:
I am from a small town in the mountains of VA. I am 55 years young. I have two grown children, two beautiful granddaughters, one 8 years old and the other 3 months old. After working at the same place for almost 30 years, I had to transfer to keep my job. I had to move to another state after living in the same county for 53 years. I am learning to live on my own for the first time in my life.

Other Information:
I love to ride my bicycle, go to the beach, and play with my granddaughters as much as possible. I especially like it when I can do all three at the same time!
I love reading good mysteries and listening to good rock music...old or new.
