Introduction Text I spent quite a while on sparks and did great. Totally motivated and encouraged. Had some personal issues that took me away for a while..but I'm back to get off the 20 pounds I gained when I quit smoking. My life is pretty wonderful...my husband of 40 years, three daughters and a son, three granddaughters, a step granddaughter and my grandson, and a sweet little great granddaughter.. plus my extended family keep me busy. I clean houses for a living, refinish furniture for pleasure and profit. I originally joined sparks with the determination of the little engine that could....he was determined to get over that mountain no matter what. He did it, inch by inch as those of us fighting that mountain of weight do...one tiny bit at a time. However, perseverance, tenacity and inner belief in one's self is the only way it can be accomplished..and I need to dig back into those resources...and do what I did before! GET HEALTHY in the right way!

I want to get to the weight I feel comfortable...maintain it. I want to make sure I focus on the right things..not so much my size but my eating habits. I want to be healthy, strong and around for a long time..to enjoy the grandchildren I do have and the ones I hope to have one day.

I came back to sparks...to help me with challenges, to be encouraged emotionally and mentally. I count calories, and love to belly dance..not so great at it, but have fun all the same. I also love to hula hoop..again not great but have fun and that's what counts. Making it fun!!!





Add a Link There once was a little engine that said "I think I can, I think I can..and one day he said "I know I can, and did it!!!" I am going to fail here and there but I will brush myself off, remind myself of how far I have come and I will NEVER give up!!! NOT EVER!! Viv
