I hope to encourage and be encouraged along this journey to better health. Hope to gain some friends as I lose the weight! I walk as my primary exercise.

So what was the big moment that got me here? Some significant health issues. I actually thought I was relatively healthy. I thought I ate relatively well. I was in denial.

I want to do more than just be here for more years; I want those years to be incredible, awesome, years with my dear husband and son and old ...

I want to do more than just be here for more years; I want those years to be incredible, awesome, years with my dear husband and son and old and new friends! I want us to go on more hikes, longer hikes, fun outdoor adventures. And I want to do more than just struggle to keep up. Who knows, I might lead the pack someday!

So, I am here. I am learning. And I am so very grateful for this community. Now I have to do my part. And I need to get the courage up to take a full length "before photo" at my evaluation at the gym! Got to start from somewhere, right?

Hi


Haven't been Sparking in awhile but now that I'm back, thought I'd stop by & chat. Before I talk about me though, gratz on burning those extra calories! That's fantastic!!

We're settling into our house here in Buckeye, AZ but we still have a lot to do & the people who owned the house before us planted *nothing* in the backyard so dH & I have visited 3 different nurseries looking at various trees, bushes & flowers that we could put back there.

Before leaving Oregon, we had to have Bismarck put to sleep; he was in too much pain from spine/hip/leg issues ~ this has caused me to feel like everyday is a deep dark shade of gray. At least we still have our cat Casanova but still, most of my life right now feels like I'm just going thru the motions with no real interest in the house, or my new camera, or much of anything. I know this will pass eventually .... just gotta get through it somehow.

dH's cousin is coming from Wisconsin this Sat & will be taking him golfing, to see Montezuma's Castle & the well up in Sedona, the Osterrich farm on the way to Tucson and the Saguaro National Park West.

What's up with you? Hope you're happy & healthy! Look forward to hearing from you soon. Take care .... Marie

Sorry it took me so long to reply :-). But I have had one heck of an October!! Mostly just been so content that I've literally stopped all form of exercise. And the weather hasn't made it any better (it's constantly been rainy and cold here). Keep me in your prayers and thoughts, cause I really need it. I just can't seem to get my mojo back :-(.

Don't feel bad, today's my first time on in 17 days. I got to get it together myself :-). Hoping to start exercising again this week. Better to start again than to quit altogether. That's my motto :-). Have a wonderful week.

Hey! Sounds like your summer has been a very busy but fun filled one! The summer seems to be flying by so quickly for me. I will soon be back into the swing of things again with my job. I am very fortunate to have the summers off but I sure hate to have it end. Anyway, not much going on in my world just trying to make healthy choices and get my exercise in! emoticon I will say this heat wave has made exercising even a bigger challenge! Have an awesome day! emoticon emoticon
