Introduction Text Hello from Michigan! I am a happily retired person pursuing my passion of becoming an artist. I paint mostly landscapes and have been painting for about 4 years. I love cats and have 4 inside and 4 more that are outside cats that I feed and take care of, they bring me a lot of smiles and love!

I started my journey on January 7th, 2019 at 183 pounds (although I was up to 195 at one point). I was doing okay but after 6 months I stalled and just could not get beyond the 166 pound range, even with working out and treadmill walks 5 days a week. This is when I decided to look up Spark People again, I am glad I did. It gives me the added incentive to push just a tad harder and be just a little more cognitive of my eating habits! I am at 159 pounds right now with the ultimate goal of reaching 138 pounds and maintaining it for the rest of my life.

Buns of Steel with Greg Smithey (52 minute workout, did for 7 months 5 days a week) and Treadmill Walk at 3.2 mph, incline at 4 for 32 minutes at least one time a day (sometimes twice) 5 days a week, statred May 1st. I took a break from BoS for a couple of months but will reinstate that routine M-W-F starting November 1st.

I am 68 years old and have been in and out of fitness since in my 20's. I love God and all the wonders He has created. I like to read and play a game or two on my tablet, and LOVE to create art! My banner is some of the pictures I have painted. I love to putter around the yard in the summer with the cats and my wonderful husband.
