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.

    Oh I thought I had the only DH who doesn’t wash the bottom of the pans. I cannot suggest he should do it because he thinks I am too picky already.

    About going grey. I did it because I was having to do the coloring every three weeks and sometimes at two weeks so I wouldn’t miss a week. I finally gave in 3 years ago and it took 18 months for it to all grow out.

    On several occasions I have been passed by for service which never happened before. I project my voice in complaint and it does help. I had to buy a new computer last week and asked about upgrading my iPad. The very nice knowledgeable young man started taking about some new features and that there was no “home” button. I held out my iPhone and said like this. He was less condescending in the rest of out interaction. It does make a difference
