My son and I; I think this is the best pic of me I've taken in a while.





Taking a picture of myself--not easy to get a flattering shot!



I have 3 pics in my gallery

Just Me

I'm a wife and mother. My kids have grown up a lot since I started here on Spark People. A new wrinkle in my life is unemployment and being over 50 and overweight as well. I must take hold of my weight or it will kill me.

SparkPoints: 12,121

Fitness Minutes: 4,298

My Goals:
I am getting below 200 in 2013.

My Program:
The only thing that has ever worked for me is to minimize high carb eating. I intend to continue this process now that holidays are over. If I do find myself eating foods high in carbs, I mind the portion size--I avoid pigging out on fat-creating foods!

Personal Information:
My hobbies used to be centered on my job as a teacher. Now I still read voraciously and take an online class to satisfy my intellectual needds. My hobbies now are centered around my home and trying to get healthier and more fit. At times I can get fired up about knitting or crochet. I am a fan of FlyLady's principals. I like to travel.

Other Information:
I'm unemployed and it's been an adjustment finance-wise. Fortunately, my husband is my best friend. I have two loving and supportive children that are teens now. I love reading and watching TV. Wish I loved running and sweating!

Ok fellow un-tracker. Together, what are we going to do about it? I have a handful of tricks that do make it easier (making groups of foods commonly eaten together). Still, if we're two peas in the pod with no one but ourselves to blame, what is the solution?

Tom's the handy one; 21 years in the Army Corps of Engineers taught him a lot about construction. I've had to learn quickly. Fortunately, he's a good teacher and we do work well together. This is our fourth major project since we moved out here. We've already done a 14 x 18 storage shed, a chicken tractor and a goat barn. The others were free-standing, but the greenhouse is going to be attached to our mobile home, so it has to be able to stand up to the winds we get out here == freak gusts up to 70 mph.

I was always told I wasn't good with my hands, so it's been a real revelation to me that I can do this sort of thing. Good thing, too, since it looks like farming is going to be my third career. emoticon
