McJoyful's Journey to Living Intentionally
It's time to finally lose this excess weight and get fit and healthy. I have spent most of my 52 years struggling with my weight and losing the battle most of the time. My husband and I have been happily married for 19 years and have done a lot together....including adding on the pounds.
We moved to a new city in 2015 and with all the changes and all the dining out that we've done, I temporarily lost sight of my spark. But not any more! I rejoined Weight Watchers in December ...

We moved to a new city in 2015 and with all the changes and all the dining out that we've done, I temporarily lost sight of my spark. But not any more! I rejoined Weight Watchers in December 2018 and the pounds have steadily been coming off.
And 2019, my focus is on personal growth, spiritually, emotionally, and physically. I know that small steps can equal big results over time and that's what I want. I know this is a journey that takes a lifetime (not to lose the weight but to continue in growth).
I love all the motivational help through SparkPeople and love encouraging others on their journey! Together we can inspire each other onto our goals!

My Program:
Although I joined SparkPeople a few years ago, my official start day actively using it was June 2, 2014. And my recommitment date was September 5, 2016.
I am using the SparkPeople nutritional tracker and focusing on staying within not only my calories, but also my carbs, fats and proteins. I am eating more natural, quality food that my body craves. I also use my Fitbit One to track my steps throughout the day.
Personal Information:
I am from northern Indiana and now live in Indianapolis. I am married to a wonderful man. We were never able to have kids, but we have two dogs that keep us entertained.
Other Information:
One of my favorite weight loss quotes is:
Do Not Reward Yourself with Food
You are Not a Dog!

~~ Michelle ~~ Don't waste your time with "could've," "would've" or "should've." Focus on "can," "will," and "do." Time will pass no matter what .... will I be closer to or farther from my goals It's not that some people have willpower and some don't. It's that some people are ready to change and others are not. Finally, I am ready to change!
