Happy Easter!!!!

I'm Midgie. I'm 49 years old, and have been married 29 years and counting. I'm Mom to 2 grown sons, 27 & 24 years old - and ecstatic Grandma to 2 Granddaughters, ages 7 & 6 - and a 5 year old Grandson. Oh, and we dare not forget His Majesty - Rico, my tabby cat! They keep me busy! As of February 18, 2013, I'm going to be having back surgery, which is going to derail my activity somewhat, tho....

If stress burned calories, after the last few years I'd be Twiggy! Alas, not. ...

If stress burned calories, after the last few years I'd be Twiggy! Alas, not. Did I mention I tend to be an emotional eater? Yeah. So. I gained weight back. Sigh.... So, one of my biggest goals for this year - and always - is actually casting my burdens on My Lord instead of just talking about it! Anyone else out there with me?

Hooray for Sparks - and especially all my Sparkfriends who have hung with me through the 3 years I've been here!! And big welcoming hugs to all the new friends I hope I'm going to make!

My Program:
The Weight Loss has really been kicking in, between the support I get here and at TOPS. I found out I was gluten Intolerant in August 2012; and going gluten-free has helped a lot - taking down the bloating, etc. I just had back surgery (02/18/13), which will really help my activity level once I recover, now that I no longer have a numb left leg!

Personal Information:
I live in Kalamazoo, Michigan with my husband of 29 years (& counting!). We have two sons, who are 28 & 24; and 3 beautiful grandchildren (2 girls and a boy) who are 7, 6, and 5. I'm very blessed.... God has given me lots of reasons to want to live healthier & longer!

Enjoy the little things in life, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

Good Morning...It's Monday!!! The beginning of the week, the first day after the weekend and that day which many believe sets the tone for the week. I think we need to look at Mondays differently--it is just like all the other days of the week--a day given to us that is filled with wonder & surprises; a day to enjoy and feel alive.

Monday is our day to rejoice being alive and enjoy the feeling of being alive. So let us say, "WooHoo, it's Monday--another day to discover all the wonder & beauty of being alive!!"

Nothing is impossible-the word itself says, "I am possible". emoticon
