Introduction Text Hi. My name is Linda and I am from Massachusetts. I joined Spark People to help me in my quest for a healthy life. I have crohns disease and Lupus. Everyday has been a battle for me for the past 2 years when I got diagnosed in 2007. I am happier now because I look at things a lot differently than I did then. I believe that with the right lifestyle and attitude I can overcome the obstacles I face and live an enjoyable happy life. I know that my life is not about the diseases it is about me.

My goals are for me to get back to what I weighed back in 2007 (117-120lbs) when I got diagnosed and put on medications that made me gain a lot of weight. I also want to gain strength and energy.

I want to move around as much as I can. Right now walking works for me. I also love playing with my dog, going to the park or beach. I love going near the ocean...it is a great way for me to relax and enjoy the calm...great stress reducer. Eating a sound diet is a little more tricky for me because of my diseases and the medications I am on...I have blood tests to monitor all sorts of things to make sure I have enough vitamins and minerals. I am currently low in calcium and Vitamin D...working on getting those up.
