Back on Track.
My 2nd Sparkversary has arrived and I most certainly should be at my goal by now, but.......BUT......life happened and like Roger Gould, M.D. says in "Shrink Yourself" that stress is the number one reason we REGAIN pounds. True. Very true. Had my Gallbladder out on 10-14 and all went well. Two stones the size of Golf Balls, which I'm sure came from all my yo-yo dieting, but I'm doing well and will get these pounds off now.
I'm happy for all my Sparker Friends, who have been so ...

I'm happy for all my Sparker Friends, who have been so wonderful to me and to give Nathan encouragement.
My third year goal is to EXERCISE daily now that I turned 60 and in my head I'm still 30.
=======================================
This DONE GIRL will PERSEVERE.
My son, Nathan has been dealing with Testicular Cancer and chemotherapy, so I know I can get a few pounds off, when he can go through all he has had to.
I WILL GET THERE! That is what a DONE GIRL does.
-----------------------------
PERSEVERE
�verb (used without object)
1. to persist in anything undertaken; maintain a purpose in spite of difficulty, obstacles, or discouragement; continue steadfastly.
*********************
I saw someone here use the term "released" instead of "lost" and it made me realize that when you "lose" something you go back and find it again, so I'm now calling each pound "released". I love being a SPARKER!!
Joined Sparkpeople on my 58th birthday, 10/12/07. I am the mother of 5 children ages 34, 25, 22, 20 and 19, so I need to take care of my health. I was always thin until I had my last child and then never got the weight off, so now I need to do this for me.

Update on Nathan's Testicular Cancer: October 1,
Nathan finished his Fourth Round of Chemotherapy and has gotten his hair back. His 3 Cat Scans of his lungs and abdominal areas came back clean in August, which was a blessing. His doctor said "You know you aren't out of the woods yet, but this is good." He has blood tests/chest xray in November. The doctor gave him a schedule for follow up for 10 years. I do know Testicular Cancer has a high cure rate.
