Hi! I'm Janey. My purpose here is to blog about the positive new direction my life is taking through good nutrition and exercise. I have always been passionate about saving money around the house, especially when feeding my family. I hope you will enjoy sharing some of the best things I have learned on my journey!

My vision is to be a great example of heart healthy living. I want to be the healthiest I've ever been at 55 years young, February 2013.

I love that Dave and I enjoy exercising together.
I look forward to adding running events to my fitness schedule, later this spring. Jumping with joy, as I look forward.
My short term goal is to reach my goal weight by 3/29/13. My last "bag of potato" weight, has been with me now for a good 15 years. This is it! Time to go. I will be 135 at 55!

I am so thankful to SP for what we have accomplished nutritionally this past year. Who knew that eating healthy could be so fun?!!

Hello Dear Spark Friend,

How is everything out west in Oregon? How is you aunt doing? They are so precious at that age. Full of wisdom and so loving.
Brother Stanley is should a wonderful preacher isn't he? My husband and I listen to his radio broadcast during the week and his television broadcast on Sundays. We use the internet to listen. He is wise in his teaching. I was in Atlanta one year and I attended his church years ago. One of his members said that Pastor Stanley spent 4 hours plus every morning in prayer. He starts very early in the morning. What a testimony! The LORD just wants us to worship HIM and learn of HIM. I can't say I spend every morning with that kind of time. I know my walk with the LORD would be much more intimate and closer. Did you listen to his message this past Sunday?

The funny thing is when my daughter was young and taking piano lessons I decided I should have stuck at the piano lessons as well as the guitar so there I was in my thirties taking piano lessons too ! So now when we have a party we have one of us on guitar and one of us on keyboards LOL! Christmas eve at our house you get people cheerily singing along to "The Night Santa Went Crazy" and Grandma got runover by a reindeer" among other traditional things.Good for you on the blues guitar my husband would love that he loves the blues !
