Tommy and Me in Palm Beach, Florida





Tommy always lets Thor play in the creeks on hikes resulting in a bath when he gets home!

Getting back to being me!

I'm Cindy and I live in Pfafftown, North Carolina. I'm very lucky because I'm married to my best friend, Tommy. I've been successful losing a lot of weight with SparkPeople in the past.

Tommy was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer in 2009 and his surgery and treatments have pretty much been at the center of our lives ever since. Everything changed in our lives with his diagnosis and I almost completely quit exercising. Our sweet Dobie Thor was also recently diagnosed with ...
I'm Cindy and I live in Pfafftown, North Carolina. I'm very lucky because I'm married to my best friend, Tommy. I've been successful losing a lot of weight with SparkPeople in the past.

Tommy was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer in 2009 and his surgery and treatments have pretty much been at the center of our lives ever since. Everything changed in our lives with his diagnosis and I almost completely quit exercising. Our sweet Dobie Thor was also recently diagnosed with cancer and had two tumors removed. Unfortunately, the diagnosis for both of them is not what we hoped for.

I've paid the price for my lack of exercise by adding back some of the pounds and feeling unhealthy and tired. I've finally realized that I cannot care for Tommy and Thor if I end up sick also, so I've started hiking again and trying to sneak in any exercise I can . I'm ready to get my life back and rejoin this wonderful SP community.

We're taking things one day at a time and trying to enjoy something each and every day!

SparkPoints: 52,598

Fitness Minutes: 31,825

My Goals:
To get back to a healthy weight and make more time for hiking, backpacking and kayaking.

My Program:
I use my nutrition tracker faithfully and I now understand how much food I used to eat. I never realized how fast those calories add up until I started putting everything into the tracker. I'm also trying to drink more water and eat healthier foods and get some exercise each day. I plan on doing a lot more hiking on weekends.

Personal Information:
I love hiking and backpacking, kayaking, camping (really anything outdoors) and photography. My husband is Tommy and I have two sons, two step-sons (both married), four grandbabies (2 girls and 2 boys) and our sweet Dobie, Thor!

Other Information:
Although I live in North Carolina, I love the southwest better than any place else, especially the slot canyons in Utah. I also love photography and have loaded a lot pictures to my flickr page at the link below.

I would love it if you get this way some time again. I do live in SIlver City. There are some campgrounds in the area, like KOA and a couple of others that are not out in the mountains. The road from Deming to Silver is a slower, gentler climb. The mountains are going up from us north, or going over to I-25 over the Black Range. But even if you get within a couple of hours of me let me know and maybe I can go meet you where you are at. Deming is 50 miles from Silver, and Rockhound isn't that far from there. Caballo Lake or Elephant Butte is 2 hours or a little more if I drove through the mountains to meet you. Anyway, I'm glad you had a great trip and I would love to meet up with you sometime!

Hope you had a great camping weekend! The nights were cool - which I love when camping. Love that campers' coffee on a brisk morning!

Thank you for the sweet comments about my precious granddaughters. I just can't get enough of them! I want to take advantage of every moment with them while they still have time for ol' granma!
Have a great weekend!

Thanks for stopping by my "shoe" blog. I appreciate your help. I'm getting all sorts of ideas and suggestions which is great. If I can't find anything around here maybe I can do some looking when I get to my brother's in the Kingsport, Johnson City, TN area. They should have more options that here I would think. Thanks again. Have a fantastic week! emoticon
