Hello. I am a controlled type 2 diabetic that stopped insulin in December 2012. My sugars are in control and since I joined Spark in March, 2012, I have keep the control with diet and exercise and oral meds. I use Sparkpeople to record my journey, and to to find support along the way. I have a family that could improve their support style. I can get overwhelmed by the sheer number of pounds to lose until my goal weight, so I prefer to think of this as a daily journey to health. I stole a Sparkpeople quote that sums it up." When you break down goals into smaller steps, it isn't even that hard. All you have to do is say "yes" to the right things, one day at a time." Here is saying yes to health.

Member Since: 3/31/2012
SparkPoints: 32,677
Fitness Minutes: 14,570
My Goals:
I can get overwhelmed by the the amount on the scale. THE SMART version of my goals: I will lose 2 pound a week, by exercising 600 fitness minutes a week, and following my calorie range daily, with no nighttime eating. At the end of the month, IF I have made my goal 20/30 days, I will get a pedicure.
I am giving up eating out, and will eat at home or pack my lunch except for days I have to eat out for work. The money I save from this (say $40 a week, as I can spend about 6 bucks on lunch, and then there is starbucks) will go in my wallet. If by the end of the week, I haven't spent the money on eating or drinking out, It can go in the reward jar.
My Program:
it's holistic. I try to stick to a Mediterranean plate method of meal planning, work out 5 x a week. In 2013, I am going to walk (semi run) every 5k, 12k that I can, including ephrata canal caper 10K (DONE)Bloomsday 12K ( done), I try to be spiritually aware, and have attended therapy for eating issues. I use Spark People for accountability and consistency.
Personal Information:
I am a married catholic social worker parent of three teenagers. As my kids get more independent and are busy with their own lives, I am spending more time at the gym. My husband has started a second career as a daycare director, and I co-own the business.
Other Information:
Stolen quote from Spark Coach Dean
" The important thing is to start where you are right now, and keep moving in the direction you want to go."
