Introduction Text Time to update. Well, I've managed to gain weight in the past year, instead of lose it. Time to kick it in gear and do something about this menopausal middle. I'm 55, mom to two adults and two dogs. Nana to two grandchildren and 2 granddogs...one of which I get custody of every now and again for a large part of the year. His momma misses him so much when she has to leave. I've been married for 36 years. Been a nurse for 20 years. Amazing how time flies. P-ersevere through the challenges O-vercome the obstacles W-alk my butt off (literally) E-nergize my soul R-elieve the stresses F-ace the day with a positive attitude U-tilize my team members L-isten to my body P-rioritize my life I-nvest my time wisely N-ever say “I can’t” K-now when to say “No” N-ever give up I- am worth it N-ever make excuses J-ust do it A-ttitude is everything S-pread the *SPARK*

1340-1690 calories Cardio 4-5 time/week strength train 3 time/week. My hospital is starting a Wellness Wins program on Jan. 21. It incorporates excercise, eating well, and attending programs or entering activties, such as Heart walk, local 5k's, and has health seminars/talks. There is even money to be won at the end for participating. It's a winning proposition. I will do cardio 5 days/week. Eat healthy, (choose fruits and veggies for snacks) but also allow for some treats so I do not feel deprived. Add salads to my lunch and dinner.

I live in Illinois, about 30 miles from St. Louis, MO. I'm married 36 years I've been an RN for 19+years. I have 2 grown children and 1 grandson and 1 grandaughter I have 1 dogs: a beagle hound mix of some sort. She keeps me on my toes. I have to walk/run her to keep her calm. I get custody of another beagle when my girl is deployed.
