Gotta "Budge the Bulge"...

I am a 49 y/o Brit who has lived in the US for almost 25 years. I currently am living in Kentucky. I have never been considered overweight and have been blessed for most of my life with a fast metabolism, but as I age it is becoming more challenging to stay fit and healthy...I am a single mom to 3 special needs children, I homeschool two of my kids, and one is in special ed, I am pursuing my PhD, am very involved in church, and I work part-time...I need to stay healthy!! My goal is to try and lose the love handles, I am hoping to take off about 10 pounds...but I am a snacker and love lots of the wrong foods, so motivation can be a big challenge (and time, of course, with special needs children, school etc). I am going to stick with it this year...luckily I do also like lots of non-fattening foods too, so I am hoping that by using the nutrition tracker faithfully this year, along with increasing my walking, I can "budge the bulge" and get more physically fit and healthy....
Update: As of 6/27/2011, i finally achieved my doctorate degree...everything else is still a work in progress...lol

My Goals:
My goal is to lose 10 pounds and increase my physical health and wellbeing. I also want to increase my children's awareness of the benefits of a healthy lifestyle
My Program:
I have to be very careful activity-wise due to my recent history/onset of seizures, but I intend to continue walking, tracking my food intake, and increasing my water intake
Personal Information:
My name is Amanda, I am 49 years old, hail originally from Great Britain, but have lived in the US for almost 25 years now. I have been in southern Kentucky for the past 14 plus years and like it here. I am single and have three special needs children ages 13, 11, and 10. I currently homeschool two 0f them, have one in special ed. I recently achieved my PhD in International Health, something i never thought i would get ....I am also a nurse, I work part time teaching (patients and staff), and also do some contract work. I am wholly in love with God, and I am very involved in my church. I love the outdoors, camping, spending time with my kids, travel, the Arts, the beach, reading, cooking, and a whole host of other things.
Other Information:
I am not much into TV, but i do love kids Disney movies. I also love animals of many kinds, especially cats. I love to read home improvement books, and I like home repair and gardening. I also love the Arts and my favorite artist is John Constable, my favorite playwright is Shakespear, and my favorite authors are Thomas Hardy and Dylan Thomas. My children are involved in Special Olympics activites, attend an autism program, participate in church activities, dance, and a variety of sports, arts-based, and social activities, so I am never bored......Phew I think thats all for now.....
