Happily married for 47 years, and now aged 69 - and although I have a long way to go yet, I have lots of HOPE now that I am back on SP. I am determined to stick this out to the end (re: pounds to lose) , and then to maintain it for life. That is the key for me...keeping it off.
We are truly blessed, with a beautiful daughter and terrific grandson and great son-in-law. Our family may be small, but we are close knit, and live near to one another - all of us in the same province. God is ...

We are truly blessed, with a beautiful daughter and terrific grandson and great son-in-law. Our family may be small, but we are close knit, and live near to one another - all of us in the same province. God is good. We are retired but involved in a good (Baptist) church, and serving the Lord brings us joy. Nothing can compare with the joy of His Presence, and I pray every one who reads this page will experience this life as well, with Jesus as their Lord and Saviour and Friend.

My Goals:
I need to lose weight and KEEP it off!


My Program:
Just to reduce intake and add daily exercise.

Personal Information:
Nova Scotia, Canada

Other Information:
Christian, and a member of the board of deacons in our Baptist church. My favorite book is the Bible, of course.

The following verses help me to put things in perspective, for it is
You O Lord Who works Your works in me.

Psa.92:4 NIV
For You make me glad by Your deeds, Lord; I sing for joy at what Your hands have done.

and Col. 1:29 NIV
To this end I strenuously contend with all the energy Christ so powerfully works in me.


Encouraging Quote:
It will go well with us when we are well before God. Ch. Spurgeon

And I like this quote:
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit. Aristotle

MOTHER'S DAY

You can see it in their eyes,
in tender hugs and long good-byes,
a love that only moms, sons and daughters know.

You can see it in their smiles,
through passing years and changing styles,
a friendship that continually seems to grow.

You can see it in their lives,
the joy each one of them derives,
in just knowing that the other one is there...

To care and to understand,
lend an ear or hold a hand,
and to celebrate the memories they share.

~~**~~** Anonymous ~~**~~**

emoticon Have a blessed Mother's Day!! emoticon

Sharing some wisdom with you....
"The rest of the world lives to eat, while I eat to live."
~~~~~*** Socrates ***~~~~~

To lose weight, change your attitude towards food. Too often we treat food as an award or consolation in times of need for comfort. Food is fuel for your body. Choose food packed with vitamins, fiber and other essential nutrients, not just calories. Stay on your Spark plan this weekend!

A SPARK Garden For Spring

In my garden, I would first plant five rows of peas:
Planning, perseverance, politeness, participation and prayer.

Next to them I would plant three rows of squash:
Squash junk food, squash negativity, squash high calorie foods.

Then, I would put in five rows of lettuce:
Let us be supportive, let us be encouraging,
let us be motivating, let us be inspiring, and
let us share the Spark love.

No garden in complete without turnips and mine would have:
Turn up with positivity, turn up with a good attitude,
turn up with strong participation, turn up the effort,
turn up the intensity, turn up the fitness time. and
turn up SPREADING THE SPARK!
