Introduction Text The name JimLita is a combination of my husband's name and my birth name, I was adopted, and my name was changed from Carmelita to Carmen. Since my husband's name is Jim, I carried over the Lita. I couldn't get my old name back. Which was Carmylita, you are welcome to call me Carmy. I am 61 years old. Happily Married nearly 32 years. I have Cerebral Palsy. I also am a pre Diabetic. I am a grandma. We had 8 grand kids, one died in a car accident three years ago, she was 8 years old. I am out to make everyone aware that alcohol, drugs and even legal prescription drugs do NOT mix with driving! Please don't do it. It could have saved my granddaughter's life if some one would have just said NO! I enjoy cats, art, out doors, fish ponds, bead work and Face Book. If anyone wants to know if my tattoo is real, yes it is and I designed it myself got it when I was 56 years old! My background image is my own art work a water color I painted.

My main goal is to lose weight or maintain my weight. Eat healthy, exercise every day.

Stick to a 1500 calorie a day diet. Get around 1/4 to a 1/2 mile a day, light jogging. Maybe more if I can. I'm now working toward a mile a day. Seek support and encouragement. This is a complete life style change which I started two years ago. after being told by my Dr. to lose weight, or have a heat attack. I took her serious. I am down 45 pounds since then, but only in the last eight months have I tracked what I do.

I was born with Cerebral Palsy. I learned to walk at age four. I eventually learned to ride a bike, then acquired my driver's license and my motorcycle endorsement. As I have aged I have lost abilities. I no longer ride a bike, hike and now need a rollator to walk. This is extremely discouraging. I now use the walker full time. But with my walker, I am able to do all the exercise I get done, and in 8 months I have logged 111 miles! That is exciting for a person with Cerebral Palsy! So, my walking a half of mile is the equivalent of a normal person walking a mile and a half. I was told I was borderline Diabetic almost two years ago. I have dropped my cholesterol to normal and my a1c number to normal, all by exercise and diet. No pills here. I have dropped my blood pressure. I am proud of my accomplishments as I have many other health issues due to the Cerebral Palsy. I no longer eat any junk food, fast food, bagged food, boxed food or prepared food.
