Just to tell y'all...I am so proud because I lost 14 lbs, the total weight I gained by following the flexible food tracking system on Spark, where the more you exercise, the more you can eat. Be careful with that! I will continue to aim for 1500 calories/day as advised by a Spark coach. Even though I go over that most days, I am still losing weight although it is coming off more slowly.

To stay healthy, eat better, and have some fun.

I do stretches every morning, and I walk 6 days/week. I walk with the Volksmarchers (ava.org), some friends 1X/week, and meetups (info@meetup.com). I'm on SP's 10K/day team, which is very motivating. From time to time, I have a session at our community gym.

I have always lived in St. Louis. I've been married for over 30 years to Gordon, a very patient man. We have two adult children and two grandsons, 23 and 10, who live in Albuquerque. I retired from teaching high school, but then helped a friend at her preschool for 3 years. I am very much enjoying retirement.

Favorite TV shows: The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, John Oliver, Bill Maher, Samantha Bee's Full Frontal, and Stephen Colbert's Tonight. We obviously like news satire. Favorite books: The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls, The Clan of the Cave Bear by Jean Auel, Blue Highways by William Least Heat Moon, The Help by Kathryn Stockett
