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: 160,864

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.

    I like rhodies too!

    We both must be Washingtonians at heart!

    Just being around the energy and love of the grands brightens the day. Your separate space sounds perfect for a visit. My DGS and I are now hugging carefully. We wash our hands and then we do a standing hug and keep our faces away from each other.

    Thank you for the bloglove sweetheart - no kayak yesterday - just too chilly for me. Maybe this afternoon.

    Thanks for reading & commenting on my blog. We are on the Bedford County side of Smith Mountain Lake. We do have cases and even deaths. Since we are a vacation spot, I expect we will have more. The VA Dept of Health website lists both the local and state data but also numbers of "zip code not reported" or "out of state" so we really don't know how many are walking among us. I really wish everyone would at least wear a mask while shopping. Stay safe, stay well.
