New Beginnings
I am the mother of two beautiful daughters who are now grown and married. My husband died two years ago, and this is the first time in my life that I am living on my own. I started a new job in August of '07 after 20 years on the same job, and I am committed to making a new beginning. Since the job situation is now stable, I want to get my personal life together and I figured the best place to start was with my health.

I am the mother of two beautiful daughters who are now grown and married. My husband died two years ago, and this is the first time in my life that I am living on my own. I started a new job in August of '07 after 20 years on the same job, and I am committed to making a new beginning. Since the job situation is now stable, I want to get my personal life together and I figured the best place to start was with my health.
I started SparkPeople right after my husband died, and it was great. The next year, when the company I was working for closed, I became very busy job hunting and... feeling sorry for myself. I know this works, so I want to try it again, and connect with some Spark People. It is time for me to get up and do something for ME instead of feeling sad all the time. I want to count my blessings because I have many: healthy children and a healthy granddaughter, a good job where I am challenged and needed, a nice place to live and I know all to well where the next meal is coming from. So, I am ready to start a healthier lifestyle and claim a happier life.

Member Since: 2/3/2006

Fitness Minutes: 30
My Goals:
I would like to have more energy and balance in my life. I would like to really be healthy, lose weight, quit smoking, and stay healthy.
I took my first Chantix today - my quit date for smoking is 5/1/2008.
My Program:
About 4 years ago, I went to Weight Watchers, and it worked. Going to meetings now is not possible for me, but I am journaling, counting my points and I have 5 women from different parts of the country who are doing it with me. We keep in touch by email and motivate each other. One of them told me about SparkPeople, and when I checked it out I really liked it.
I find that tracking my food really helps.
Personal Information:
I grew up in Montclair, New Jersey and now live in New York City. I have two daughters, and one granddaughter. I also have 2 beautiful Himalayans: Coco and Charlie.
