ON THE ROAD AGAIN.....
I've been on and off Spark so many times that I've lost count. Now, this is not necessarily a bad thing. Each time I leave, I'm a lighter than when I came back, and with all these stops and starts, I've never gained more then 3-5 lbs. when I'm in between. I'm looking at the glass and it is definitely "half full!"
This last gap in my Sparking came as the result of some major changes in my life - biggest one, a new job. I thought this 19 hr. a week job would leave me plenty of time ...

This last gap in my Sparking came as the result of some major changes in my life - biggest one, a new job. I thought this 19 hr. a week job would leave me plenty of time to do all the things I was doing before, but was I ever wrong. First of all, I almost never work only 19 hours and, secondly, I find I'm tired when I get home but I still have all my normal "household" stuff to take care of. I should say that DH has been very helpful in that department. He makes the bed every day and does the laundry. Without that help, I think I'd be pulling my hair out. I sometimes wonder how I used to be able to work a full-time job and still get everything done in the house - and raise 3 children! Truthfully, I think the answer to that one is simply "youth." I just can't do as much as I used to and I, like most everyone else, have to learn to accept that fact. What I can do, however, is eat in a healthy and thoughtful way. So, I'm back and hoping to get all the way to my goal weight this time. I can't wait to dig in and see how many of my old Spark Friends are still here, and what they are doing since I left 5 months ago!
I have said this before - and I will say it again - Spark People is the absolute best health and weight loss site out there, bar none! I've tried others - big names too - and I still come back to Spark. Thank you Spark Guy for giving the world Spark People!

Member Since: 1/3/2012
SparkPoints: 13,941
Fitness Minutes: 5,860
My Goals:
Lose 25 lbs. and get back to my healthy eating habits!
My Program:
Stay in my calorie range; keep an eye on my nutrition every day; get in some exercise most days and not fret because my back problems keep me from being to able to exercise like I used to!
Personal Information:
I live in sunny Arizona with my DH and am the mom of three adult children and two stunningly handsome and intelligent little grandsons - oops! that sounds like bragging but other Granny's understand -LOL If I don't look in the mirror, I forget I'm not 25 any more but then age is largely a state of mind and I think I'm losing mine! I am a Christian and have a strong faith in the LORD. I've been told I'm a great cook but don't ask me for a recipe because I was taught with the pinch of this - dash of that - method. I even find myself modifying my Spark recipes, somewhat.
Other Information:
I love mysteries - books, Telly, and movies. BBC is my absolute favorite when it comes to detective shows and I adore British comedy. Some of my favorites are The IT Crowd, Father Ted, Keeping Up Appearances - Murdoch Mysteries (which is really Canadian), Taggert, Blue Murder, Jonathan Creek, etc. I also re-watch the original Dark Shadows whenever I get in the mood for something ridiculous and campy.
