Tx Grandma's thoughts

I have several new, healthy habits since joining Spark People, three years ago!

I strive to get at least 7 hours of sleep at night, preferably 8 hours!

Became more active

Drinking all my water, and then some!

Cut out diet sodas, though I do sometimes allow myself one a day..........

Eat a tossed salad nearly every evening with supper, I really miss it if I don't get it!

I am at least conscious now of the need for more ...

I am at least conscious now of the need for more exercise, and have discovered that at this time in my life, I MUST exercise to be successful in my desire to lose weight.

I work every day to eat correctly, to make it a lifetime habit!

I have Spark Friends now from all over the US and even some in foreign countries!

My husband and I have decided on a lifestyle change that will be difficult for me at first. We have come to the decision that we want to travel more, venturing out in our RV. We are planning on keeping our stallion and continuing to stand him to outside mares, plus will be keeping Lexi as my riding horse.

Part of my new lifestyle will be riding Lexi more often. I plan on riding at least 3 times a week which is a good addition to my fitness plan. It is surprising how many calories you burn riding a horse!

I plan on staying with Spark People as long as I have access to a computer! The articles and friends I have made help to keep me on track!

Member Since: 1/25/2010

SparkPoints: 87,166

Fitness Minutes: 32,848

My Goals:
My goals are to lose the weight slowly but steadily, with the adoption of healthy eating habits! I have learned SO MUCH from Spark People in the time that I have been a member, realizing that YES, I really DO want to make a permanent change in my diet, that will make my body healthier than ever! I have quit drinking sodas totally, and not eating any more sweets, as a rule, because everything tastes just TOO sweet, and I have no desire for it! I don't care how long this takes me, it is a worthy goal!

My Program:
I have always been an outdoors person, would much rather be outside helping than in the house. I am trying very hard to keep processed foods and fats at a minimum, and avoid fast foods at all costs! I have so many friends on Spark People now, and they provide me with so much encouragement and motivation!

Personal Information:
I am a wife, mother of 2 (and step mother of 2 more) a grandmother of one biological grandchild plus 3 step grandchildren.

I was born and raised in Michigan, but have lived in Texas since 1981. I also have 2 brothers who live here. There is one brother still in Michigan, and my sister lives in Alaska.

Other Information:
My husband and I enjoy traveling, especially with our RV. At least, with that, we always know where we are spending the night! Eventually, we want to become full time RVers! I like reading, riding my horse, and playing with our grandchildren.

Thanks for reading my blog and posting on my page. After I read over my blog I noticed so many mistakes and was surprised you could read it at all. RA is giving me a tough time lately and I haven't type much in the past year.
I loved that picture of you. Such a fantastic smile. And new pics of the grandkid and horse's was great! Yeah I will download the picture onto my laptop soon. Haven' done any downloaded for over a year. lol Good thing my camera has a large memory card. lol xo Teri off the net for now.

It has been cool and cloudy in our part of Indiana today. My husband has checked the garden every day and keeps telling me we will have strawberries, spinach and lettuce soon. I think we need some sunshine.
We have had lots of good asparagus.
So glad you were safe from the tornado. We had lots of wind and rain but no tornadoes this time. Any time they are that close it is very scary though.
Take care.

Thank you for your kind words concerning my blog. I have no doubt Loren is having a glorious reunion in heaven. It is just that we who are left behind will miss him so. Thanks you too for the goodie and especially for the prayers.
