WEIGHT WATCHERS LIFETIME MEMBER - 8/11/2012
“Don't wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions. So what. Get started now. With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident and more and more successful.”

WHO AM I?
My name is Cricket from Metro Washington DC Area. I am happily married for 25 years to my Honey (Ricky) who was my Senior Prom date in High School. We are a living proof that "Love that is True Last Forever". We have been together since March 31, 1982 (My High School Graduation Day); 29 years now!!! Our marriage has been blessed with 3 wonderful children: a daughter who is 23 who graduated from BS Biology in 2009 and now taking the Accelerated BSN Program graduating 2011. a daughter who is 19 and our son who is 12. We also have a pug named Ben that is very much part of our family.
My goal in life is wellness. I want to live a long and healthy life for my family. It has been a battle for me to meet my goal weight. I decided to be more realistic and aim for a more reasonable weight. Now I need to get back to the rhythm and start on the program again.
QUOTES THAT TOUCH MY HEART:
Helen Keller: Happiness cannot come from without. It must come from within. It is not what we see and touch or that which others do for us which makes us happy; it is that which we think and feel and do, first for the other fellow and then for ourselves.
Frederick Keonig: We tend to forget that happiness doesn't come as a result of getting something we don't have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have.
WEIGHT LOSS PRAYER:
Dear God,
I surrender my body and weight loss to your Divine care and love. I ask that you remove all excess and unnecessary weight from my body. Return my body to its most healthy and balanced state. Give me eating habits that support my health and life energy. And finally teach me to love my body and to care for it from this day forth. In Jesus Name I pray. Amen
SERENITY PRAYER
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will; That I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him Forever in the next. Amen.

My Goals:
My Motto: KISS
Keep It Simple Silly!
Life is too short and we need to learn to life a happy healthy life. We need to have a healthy body, mind and soul. In order to achieve this we need to keep our life simple. The last thing we need is complication. Complication equals stress!!
My goal is to be healthy for a life time. I will achieve this by watching what I eat, drinking a lot of water, and working out.
My Program:
WEIGHT WATCHERS.
8 Glasses of water.
Working out 6 to 7 a week.
Personal Information:
..one of my favorite quotes about Marriage: "I didn't marry you because you were perfect. I didn't even marry you because I loved you. I married you because you gave me a promise. That promise made up for your faults. And the promise I gave you made up for mine. Two imperfect people got married and it was the promise that made the marriage. And when our children were growing up, it wasn't a house that protected them; and it wasn't our love that protected them - it was that promise." Thornton Wilder, The Skin of Our Teeth
Other Information:
Why do I want to Lose Weight?
1) To have a healthy mind & body.
2) To lower my cholesterol level.
