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.

Fitness Minutes: 158,674

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.

    So glad that my post/picture was helpful to you! I learned this lesson a long time ago if we don't love herself we can't love others if we & if we don't take care of ourselves we can't take care of others. Wishing you a wonderful day!

    Toni, thanks for the nice comment on my page today. I too really feel like I have an old friend that I get to talk to each morning. It would be lovely to get together. I am sure we would have no trouble catching up. Just like old friends.....
    It’s hard for people to understand how you can have friends who you have never met in person. This is one of the many good things about Sparks.
    I am very happy to count you as one of my friends!

    Yup. Saturday was one crankypants day. Fortunately all days last only 24 hours and it ended. And Sunday more than made up for it. Thanks for coming by and leaving a little bloglove
