Maintaining with Spark


What a good place Sparkpeople.com is! I have lost weight and grown stronger because of tracking--being honest about food and exercise. I have wonderful Spark friends who inspire me. I am so grateful!

I begin the new year with a focus word: TENDERNESS . For myself and others...because life is hard sometimes.

Member Since: 2/14/2012

Fitness Minutes: 165,144

My Goals:
I intend to maintain a healthy weight, to thrive doing exercise I love, and to have fun.

My Program:
 I want to live a healthy life "full out." I am healthy, and consider it my job to protect that gift!


Personal Information:
I was born in the Pacific Northwest, but live in Virginia (Metro DC) now. I always have a foot in each place--I love them both. I love the water and being outdoors and so I try to be active there when I can. The gym is a good fall back though!

Other Information:
 I am married, mother to a son, stepmom to a daughter and two sons. Grandmother to 6. Being active with my family is important--we are a movin' bunch.

    Thank you sweetheart. Daddy did give me many gifts. I can still hear his voice - almost see his face - when he explained to me what New Year's Resolutions were. He presented it in such a non-scolding, non-shaming way - like it was one of those grown-up secrets for getting your way. He was so like the little girl with the curl. When he was good, he was so very very good.

    I hope you are doing okay - feeling comfortable back at the lake. Savor this beautiful quiet time of year, honey. Like a seed - it's a chance to grow without an audience.

    hugs

    It is very distressing to watch the disaster in DC but I can’t even imagine how much worse it it is for you. I am hoping that it is controlled

    Clam Cowder! Yum yum. You will LOVE this recipe. In fact, I'll be making it myself this week. It really does taste like the ocean in a bowl. Enjoy. Happy New Year.
