Getting healthier every day

I'm on my way to becoming the person I was meant to be: happy, healthy & fit! Little late in life; but, better late than never! Since being on my own since 2002 I initially stayed in TX for 8 years, but moved back to Illinois 9/09 to reconnect with my friends/family/community. I've developed more friendships/had more of a social life in one month in IL than I had in 8 years in TX!!!


GOALS:
June 1~150# GOAL MET
July 15~145# GOAL MET

Yes, I remember being surprised seeing wheat harvested in the Spring instead of the fall like my Dad used to do in Michigan. My brother lived in Norman awhile while attending OU. He graduated from there with a degree in Political Science and then, promptly became a horse trainer........
He lives in Scurry, TX, near Kaufman. (Which has been in the news lately)

You're welcome, and YES! Spring has been here for a while. Today, here in far southern Oklahoma, it is very windy with possible severe storms Tuesday night. Should be fun, with us here in the RV! (We are here in Thackerville, OK; just across the Red River from Texas. There was actually water in the Red River when we crossed, and it was flowing!) emoticon

"My will shall shape the future. Whether I fail or succeed shall be no one's doing but my own. I am the force; I can clear any obstacle before me or I can be lost in the maze. My choice; my responsibility; win or lose, only I hold the key to my destiny."
