I just feel the need to be surrounded by colors, rainbow colors seen in foods, nature... May is usually the "April Showers bring May Flowers" kind of thing, and flowers usually come in different colors... Speaking of which, I need to upload photos of my April flowers that have already fallen of the tree!


I thought I typed something brilliant here, and it went bye-bye. So I get to try again. I decided to change up my page here and include more motivational imagery, sort of a visual collage here on the 'Net. (I'm not fond of glue and sticky stuff on my fingers.).
Oh and happy birthday to all the May birthdays, happy anniversary to all the Anniversaries, and Happy Early Graduation for those who Graduate this month and not June.

My Goals:
I've never really been at a "normal" weight for my age. It's difficult to "picture" what I would actually look like when I reach goal. More importantly is how will I feel about myself when I reach goal? Will it frighten me? I know I will feel better. There was a brief time in high school where I lost 30 pounds and was pretty close to goal weight but still 15-20 pounds over what the "chart guessers" thought. Yet I remember how energetic I felt, how awesome it felt to try on smaller pants, guessing at size, only to discover that they also were TOO BIG, and going down to a smaller size. Really cool. So I want that feeling again.

I've see various relatives struggling in their 70's and 80's because they made poor choices in their diet, didn't exercise, and they are having an awful time. Yet, I do see some friends in their 80's and 90's who are really ROCKIN', in great health, energetic, and I want to be that way when I'm in my 80's or 90

My Program:
Well, so far, the program is to just get this set up and figure out what is what, decide what to do, get some sleep, GET OFF THE INTERNET (including the wonderfully fun websites like this one!), and get some SLEEP!

EAT VEGGIES! I love them, but why won't I stop and prepare them for myself?

Go WALK and WALK/RUN

GET REBOUNDER SET UP!!

Do 15 minutes of DeCluttering 4-6 days a week (FlyLady!)

Okay, I'm not done with this list now. But I'm giving myself permission to stop here and revisit it later. It shouldn't go away anytime soon, as long as SparkGuy has enough squirrels running on the electric generators to keep powering the computers holding all of the SparkPeople pages!!

Then I can update this later with more profound coherent goals.


Personal Information:
I'm north of Wichita, KS not far - if that's where you are, drop me a note! Maybe we can walk??

Thank you so much the the kind words on my blog. I "never" expected my simple story would touch so many people. What a wonderful reminder that Spark is not just an Internet group, but also a community of friends.

"Three of the most powerful words in the English language are 'I AM RESPONSIBLE.' It's tough to do, but when the day comes that you can say those words, believe them, and mean them, it will be the most liberating moment of your life. Taking responsibility for all of your results, for better or for worse, is taking back your power to create results in your life."
-Tom Venuto

Just coming by to thank you for your comment on my blog, "Progress!" I hope you are having a great month so far!

PS: Yes, there are different workouts on my DDP Yoga DVD that I could do, but I think I just need a switch up from it altogether for a while. But I definitely plan to go back to it in another month. I just needed a change of pace.
