I do this not only for myself, but for my daughter who I refuse to have follow in my footsteps of over eating, sloth and whatnot. In my health I hope that her health will be learned.

I am a rambling one who will talk your ear off if you let me. Many of my blogs do just that with a tinge of humor, sarcastic though it may be. Enjoy them, all.

If you still have questions, concerns, complaints, compliments or anything of the like, be sure to send a message or leave a comment. I welcome them all.

Update: 6/14/11

I am starting anew with Spark People after being away due to injury. I am trying to find new motivation for eating right, exercising, which if any of you were here before, know that I HATE to exercise. I have a new strategy for what I will do and how I will accomplish my short term and long term goals.

I do know that I am tired of looking at myself in the mirror and seeing nothing but a fat, lazy, whale of a woman when I could be so much more... I mean less, than what I am. I feel as though my body is spiraling out of control, but I will NOT let it. I will pick myself back up again, start over from square one and work harder than I did before, because let's face it, I'm starting over because I didn't work hard the last time.

So here I am picking myself back up after a HUGE fall (literally) and dusting myself off and making another go of the Spark People journey with the help of Weight Watchers and my mother.

I have said before that motivation must come from within, and though I still believe that, I certainly welcome motivation from other Sparkers. Feel free to leave a message or comment.

Happy Sparking!

Update 9-9-12
I've been away from this site due to loss of internet, but now I'm back, and I'm more motivated than ever. I picked up a new hobby in archery shooting a 40lb pull recurve. I can feel it already in my shoulder, neck and arms. No, not a very cardio workout, but strengthening, heck yes! I'm starting out again with min goals and I'm lighter this time around than when I left, so that is always a good thing.

Now, where did I leave that no soda goal tracker....
