Loving Life...finally!

I love this quote I just found on SP:

"A diet is the penalty we pay for exceeding the feed limit."

I'm a registered nurse and am doing some travel nursing. Right now I'm in Alexandria, VA and working in Washington DC at a HUGE teaching hospital. Love being a nurse...not a better career for me anywhere on the planet! I finally started wanting to do something about my well being and my health issues when I got put in the hospital for blood sugar issues in February of 2008. In March, 2008 my now 25 year old daughter took some pics of me and her boyfriend (now husband!) posted them online, WOW was that an eye opener for me. Boy was I fat! I knew I had tipped the scales at 210, but didn't realize how bad I looked until I saw those pics posted. I have never been this heavy...even pregnant, so something has got to give. It's time to get healthier, and as a nurse I need to set a good example for my patients. Unfortunately I see a lot of nurses that are overweight and unhealthy. I wonder why? Hmmm, makes a person think doesn't it? Anyway, I have three grown children and am currently separated from my husband of 9 years. I'm happier right now and glad that this chapter of my life is almost closed. It's been a rough...very rough 5+ years!!! My now 29 year old daughter told me about this site and so here I am! I'm a christian and love the Lord too. My faith is very important to me. Come say hi anytime. I'm very outgoing and love to talk. God bless!

My Goals:
I want to become healthier, not just for me, but for my family. I'm a diabetic and so want to lose this extra poundage to try to get my sugars under control.

My Program:
I'd like to start exercising again more regularly. Was doing so almost every day, but have been off the exercise wagon for several weeks now...I do feel better when I work out in some way so I know it's good for me! I've cut out my sugar in my diet and cut way down on my carbs.

Personal Information:
I'm originally from Denver, CO but have lived in Lubbock, TX for a really long time now. Love to go back to Colorado anytime I get the chance. Those Rocky Mountains are just incredible! Plus I love my Denver Broncos! Go DENVER!

Other Information:
I love to fish, read and love all outdoor activities. Like to camp and hike as well. Love to go country western dancing so love to two step and especially love to waltz. I also like to snow ski, when I get the chance!

Happy BELATED Birthday, DONE GIRL

The little Pisces girl is born to a mother who is a worrier and the little Pisces child picks up all the tension that is in the family and she believes she is to blame. Often the family uses her as a "scapegoat" for its problems saying in effect "If it wasn't for her we'd have life on Easy Street", but she isn't the real problem at all. Pisces escapes to her dream world and finds safety in pets or food. Yes, she can have a weight issue, but she can just as well be a dancer, runner or lead an exercise class. She can be a wonderful artist or a teacher of small children as she knows how to communicate with them.
She gets along best with Scorpio, Cancer, Taurus, Capricorn or Virgo. She can be a great beauty like Elizabeth Taylor. When asked what was different about her from Marilyn Monroe, she answered "No one ran my life but ME." That is what a highly developed Pisces woman needs to learn to say.
Pisces health issues are often with her feet. She can have boils, anemia, skin conditions, allergic reactions to drugs, lymphatic system, problems with the mucous membranes or her liver. Practicing Yoga can be a great help to her.

In Pisces, the Sun is sensitive and idealistic. You are "tuned in" to your environment, and aware of everything happening in your world, and to everyone around you. Pisces is the dream sign of the zodiac. You may be one of the true dreamers of the world, often getting caught up in impractical plans and ideas. You absorb the ideas and the mental outlook of those around you, for better or for worse. The decisions that you make may be workable, if sometimes emotional and erratic. Often these decisions are made on hunches and feelings with little or no foundation in fact. Creative, spiritual and often a bit mystical, you can be impractical and illogical.
You're a moody and introspective person, and it's hard for others to understand you. It may be hard for you to understand yourself sometimes. Your temperament varies from being optimistic to being acutely pessimistic.
Although you may be very shy and unassuming, you care deeply about your stature and succeeding in your endeavors. You may feel vulnerable and anxious when you are unsure of your status and circumstances. You have a deeply hidden inner pride and when this is attacked in any way, you react emotionally.
Compassionate, tolerant, kind, and loving, you are easily influenced by others because you don't want to hurt anyone. Always charming and likable, you are good to those in distress. You are as fond of animals as you are people. You are sympathetic to the world's unfortunate, including every stray animal and helpless soul you meet. You are more concerned with others' well-being than your own, and you want to save people from themselves. You are easily taken in by a hard-luck story and often leave yourself open to be used. You are always there with a shoulder to cry on for your friends in need. Frequently people take advantage of this compassionate nature.
If you are a typical Pisces, you're likely to suffer from an inferiority complex. You probably lack an adequate sense of self-confidence, as you are so very sensitive, shy and introspective. You never feel that you do enough, so you often overwork, putting stress on your physical body. In your quiet way, you accomplish much. Having a natural tendency to become a workaholic, you must have a generous amount of escape time, preferably with total solitude.
Pisces, more than any other sign, draws strength or weakness from the rest of the horoscope. The nature of Pisces is very adaptable and pliable. You may have to fight for a sense of stability and to resist the impulses of the moment. -
