Livin' the good life!


I came to SparkPeople to turn things around in my life. As I get closer to retirement, I've vowed that a rocking chair is not in my future! And it's working - after a year, I've shed the pounds, and have a much healthier outlook on life. Doesn't get much better than that!

2019 update: After much back-sliding, I've gained back a lot of the weight I had lost. Before it all comes back on, I'm back to tracking and am working on getting back to walking more regularly. I know that ...

2019 update: After much back-sliding, I've gained back a lot of the weight I had lost. Before it all comes back on, I'm back to tracking and am working on getting back to walking more regularly. I know that healthy living works, now I just have to make sure that I do! Retirement is wonderful, and I want to be around a long time to enjoy it.

Personal Information:
I'm a retired ecologist, currently living in the beautiful high country of northern Arizona. I became a biologist because I have a deep appreciation and concern for all of the beautiful creatures with whom we share our planet, but especially birds. I enjoy getting outside, hiking, bird watching, and hand crafts. Luckily for me, I live in a great place to do all the above.

    Hi Judy, just thinking of you and hoping you're feeling okay. I know you tend to post sporadically, so don't want to read anything into your absence, but been wondering how you're doing.. Hope you have a good Thanksgiving coming up. I'll be out at my brother's house in Delaware with some family I rarely see, so looking forward.

    Looking to stay focused through the upcoming Holiday Season? Want to get connected with a Team to support you through your Journey to a Healthier Lifestyle? If yes, then consider joining the Biggest Loser Challenge that starts in early December. Each week 10 teams of 24 Active members do fun nutritional and fitness challenges. The challenges promote a healthy lifestyle. If for some reason you cannot do a challenge, it can be modified to meet your needs. I hope that you decide this might be for you. If so, you can leave your name on the Wait List for the Winter challenge. To get to the List visit my page and click on the “BLUE BIGGEST LOSER” Icon; copy The Team Page Address below or let me know so I can send you an invitation. Join the Team then sign up on the waitlist. It’s the thread right below the Chit Chat thread.

    We’re still in a moderate drought, nothing like the severity of drought that you’re seeing. I checked it on the drought monitor map. Twelve years ago, when we first moved here the drought was severe. The areas around us have gotten more rain, but we seem to have a dome overhead. It does rain—we got 9 inches of rain from Hurricane Florence last year. It just doesn’t rain consistently enough for the reservoirs and lakes to recover and be at their optimum levels. We did get 1-1/2 inches of rain this week, but from the end of August until the middle of October it didn’t rain.

    I hope you do get enough snow this winter. The drought has gotten really bad, hasn’t it?
