Blessings in Fluff

never thought I would be a homemaker, but with various medical issues I am blessed with, it hasn't really been an optional thing. I do get out to volunteer several times a week at a school helping do data entry for their library and then the rest of my weekdays are taken by appointments.

I live in Washington State, USA with a significant other, my dog, and a large collection of stuffed animals.

My Program:
My program thus far is to try to build a streak of cardio exercise and activity each week 5 times a week.

To keep my motivation high, I am rewarding myself for the effort I put forth each day, or taking away rewards if I don't put in my best a particular day. (not the same as getting sick, just when getting lazy interrupts my plans)

Also, I have rewards built in for each 5 pounds I lose and for four milestones before I reach my goal weight.

Personal Information:
I live in Auburn, WA. Feel free to friend, SparkMail, comment or send me notes! I turn 37 on April 22nd and I've been living with my man of choice for about 8 years this April/May!

I'm still trying to get him on SparkPeople, but he says it reminds him too much of facebook. Still I haven't given up.

Other Information:
My favorite books are:

The Caliph's House
by Shah Tahir

Eat the Cookie, Buy the Shoes
by Joyce Meyer

Get Healthy for Heaven's Sake
by LIsa Morrone P.T.

Recipe for Life by Trina and Graham Kerr

A Simple Path by Mother Teresa

Favorite Quotes:

Each problem carries with it the seeds of its own solution. If you don't have any problems you don't get any seeds.
--Norman Vincent Peale

Ice cream rarely gives you extra sleep, quenches your thirst, or gives you a hug! --SparkMember GANASSI

"I will persist until I succeed. Always will I take another step.
If that is of no avail I will take another, and yet another.
In truth, one step at a time is not too difficult.... I know that small attempts, repeated, will complete any undertaking."
