Itīs been somewhat of a rollercoaster wrestling match with my weight ever since my first pregancy. Iīm making My SparkPlace Priority #1 with a sense of hope. Itīs time to step off the ride & win this race! Iīve heardsay that people who stay at home and rarely leave routine, long to break away. And . . . that those people who travel, long for home.

Itīs been somewhat of a rollercoaster wrestling match with my weight ever since my first pregancy. Iīm making My SparkPlace Priority #1 with a sense of hope. Itīs time to step off the ride & win this race! Iīve heardsay that people who stay at home and rarely leave routine, long to break away. And . . . that those people who travel, long for home. I love my home and whenever we are away, I miss it terribly. I love to spend time in my yard, with my pets, with my kids, on the computer, watching a good DVD, studying, jornaling, crafting, reading, researching online, correspondence. 07/04/2007 I realize now that the things I enjoy the most are sedentary activities. Priority # 2 from now on is to get MORE activity away from places to sit!! 06/01/2008 I will be a wee bit less active on SparkPeople during June and July. But dontcha worry, Iīll pop in when possible! I enjoy my SparkActivities, which have added a new dimension to my life! I have set healthy and positive goals, challenging myself to exceed far more than I ever imagined possible! After all, this life of mine was given to ME! Itīs MY Life!

That's my goal - all part of the NEW ME! 01/01/2009 This is my birthday month and I'm celebrating it with gusto! I've managed to gain back 10 of the 40 lost pounds and I'm heading for taking those off quickly continuing towards my healthy goals! It's a realistic approach to healthy and positive living. SparkPeople has been one of the best things to happen to me and I'm looking forward to reaching more of my goals in 2009!!! Let's go for the gold, SparkFriends! 03/12/2010 I am celebrating 4 years with SparkPeople! One of the highlights of my life! I am grateful for each one of my children. They are my advisors and friends. This month, the 13th, our middle child would have celebrated his 26th birthday. He has been gone for over 10 years and is dearly missed. I would love to go back in time and hold him for a little longer. I have gained much wisdom over the years, by experience and through research. Although gained through much sweat and tears, I would not trade it for anything.

Other Information:
My Siamese cat adores me, as does our cute furry cocker mix. I prefer a good book or movie to anything outdoors, except perhaps the beauty of a sunrise/sunset and the smell & sound of a downpour! I once saw a rainbow over a shopping center. It was raining so that a crowd had gathered under the sheltered entrance. I was alone in the parking lot facing that amazing scene, realizing that all those people were missing the beautiful intensely colored painting by God! This is something I find myself doing a lot - looking for beauty that others do not perceive.
