Doing one of my favorite things: camping in the woods! See how hard I'm exercising?!
This is my beautiful daughter who turned me on to Spark People. She's such an inspiration!

Hello and welcome to my Spark Page!
I am 55 years old and through this site, hope to stem my steadily increasing weight since entering menopause last year. I have been an administrative assistant for the past 15 years which, naturally, means a lot of sitting at the desk and being relatively inactive during business hours.

Hello and welcome to my Spark Page!
I am 55 years old and through this site, hope to stem my steadily increasing weight since entering menopause last year. I have been an administrative assistant for the past 15 years which, naturally, means a lot of sitting at the desk and being relatively inactive during business hours. But since becoming a SP, I've learned the importance of getting up every 20 minutes to move around. I have learned to pack a great low-cal and nutritious lunch to bring with me each day. And I've learned that to get results means true commitment and dedication.
I am blessed with 3 wonderful children ages 18, 24, and 26. All of them keep me on my toes. Just like snowflakes, each one is different, unique, and a blessing!
I've been married for 35 years to my soul mate: a wonderful man who I hope will also "catch the Spark" and begin to improve his overall health because I plan to live to be 100 and want him by my side all the way!
Update: 10-2-2008~~~Last month I went for my yearly check-up with my endocrinologist and found my thyroid meds needed adjustment. Who knew?! After a few weeks, I got off my plateau and the numbers on the scale began to move along. I know it's a real no-brainer, but this serves as a great reminder to any of us who are on meds that we need to monitor them closely, get regular blood work, and check in with our docs so we can stay healthy and strong!!
Update: 1-4-09~~~Today I joined the "New You Bootcamp and Challenge" and I'm very excited about what I can learn and how I can make strides toward better health and fitness. I'm confident the next 4 weeks will finally give me momentum to exercise every day and move to an even higher lever of commitment to self- improvement. My goal is to increase my cardio fitness and strength both in time spent and in endurance.

The third is to get off my bum and get moving!!
