I'm a Christian, ex-professor, wife, horsewoman, and avid reader. I'm also an avid eater, which is why I'm here. I have lost and gained while on SP, and now I'm starting over. Again.
I admitted to myself the other day what I've really known all along. I'm killing myself. Slowly (or maybe not) but surely, I am overloading my heart, straining my joints, and hastening the end to what is really a pretty fulfilling life. As a lawyer, I represent what I call throw-away people--parents ...

I admitted to myself the other day what I've really known all along. I'm killing myself. Slowly (or maybe not) but surely, I am overloading my heart, straining my joints, and hastening the end to what is really a pretty fulfilling life. As a lawyer, I represent what I call throw-away people--parents that the government wants to strip of their parental rights, kids that need their parents' rights stripped away, poor people who have done something criminally stupid and need a laywer.
While I don't have many "real" friends, and who does, the ones I have are faithful and the kinds of folks who, if they don't hear from me for months, would jump to my aid in a heartbeat if I needed them.
I have a husband who loves me beyond measure. He gripes all the time, but he finds pleasure in cooking for me, feeding my horses, checking on the other animals in my menagerie, and doing it with a smile even when he feels bad.
Yep, I have a good life, and I need to stop shortening it on purpose. I've made some major changes in attitude these past few weeks. Now I'm going to see if I can keep them up.

My Goals:
I want to look healthy when I see myself in the mirror or my reflection in a glass. I don't want to look like a fat old woman.
My Program:
I''m concentrating on slowly losing weight so I can keep it off. I''m really, really trying to get motivated to exercise. My life is sedentary, and my job requires me to sit and look at a computer most of the time. Thinking may be hard work, but it doesn't exercise much of the rest of my body. I'm eating better, and when I feel unmotivated to do my job, I'm working outside--mowing, using the weedeater, trimming headges--and that makes me come back inside, sit down at this computer, and do my best for my clients.
Personal Information:
I grew up near Fort Worth, Texas and went to law school in Austin, Texas. Then my husband and I spent 13 years "exiled" in El Paso, Texas before we moved to Abilene, Texas. We moved here to south central Alabama for my job in August 2004, and wondered why we lived in Texas so long when Alabama was sitting right here. For 7 years, I taught law school, and figured out that I was right the first year I taught--I didn't ike it. So I quit. I have opened a law office in the little town of Roanoke, AL, that I didn't even know existed until 2010. but God has led me here and I will do my best not to fail Him. However, if he wants to lead us back to Texas, my bags are packed!
Other Information:
We have 8 horses and 2 donkeys, and have pretty much quit having foals because horses aren't worth much financially in this market. We raise AKC Dobermans, too, and are thinking about breeding our AKC white Shepard. I love to read, and my favorite author is Tess Gerritsen. She writes medical thrillers, is on the NYT best seller list every year, and she''s one of the nicest people I''ve ever met. Check out Rizzoli & Isles on TNT - it's based on her books.
