My goal is to lose a bit of weight each week to meet my goals. I am using Spark videos on my new plan. I love Coach Nicole! I love Spark videos where I can sit and work out.

In June I will be on Spark five years! woohoo!

I have joined the 2013 Spring Into Summer 5% Challenge and am on the 2013 Awesome A Team Spring!

My goal is to lose a bit of weight each week to meet my goals. I am using Spark videos on my new plan. I love Coach Nicole! I love Spark videos where I can sit and work out.

In June I will be on Spark five years! woohoo!

Four years on Spark fighting through major and minor health issues along way - may have detoured me on my journey to health but it has never waylaid me to leave spark. I continue to Spark on through it all - learning new ways to gain health. I have left 6 specialists in the medical field - woohoo! and I have gained so much health!

I have had twelve surgeries/procedures - eight within the last 9 years.

I dont make resolutions. I make commitments to myself, knowing that along the pathway to health, I will take many detours on this journey.

I do have goals I strive to meet.

I have learned that I have to be willing to give and to take, push and to shove, fighting my way - full blast head first through conflict, defeat, and sometimes even despair. But, always on my way I go.

I know that my God, well He is limitless. I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. I shall overcome and I shall not give in.

One health issue after another, does not get me down, it builds me up.

Come back soon.. I change my theme often!

My Goals:
I have gained health as I changed my eating habits and added exercising to my daily life. I have added strength training - I will never cheat myself again by not doing this!

I live in 3rd stage Kidney Failure, OA in my left ankle, Graves Disease, Thyroid Disease, allergies, asthma.
I have lowered my cholesterol, gotten my asthma, headaches, and sinus issues under control. I have become more mobile and flexible.

I am now able to walk everyday. I am healthier. Now I want to lose some weight. This used to read: be able to walk and be healthier: Goal MET.

99% of my meals I cook from scratch. When I eat out - I stick to very basic foods.

Thanks for stopping by my blog where I was talking about my memory problems. I was on disability for it several years before my CKD diagnosis. The doc guesses it was probably from one wallop too many from Mommy Dearest that caught up with me. I hadn't realized CKD had that side effect, so I will definitely look into that some more! I appreciate the heads up - you are always full of good info!
