Introduction Text After 16.5 years of marriage, I lost my husband on January 6, 2014 to a sudden heart attack. That was 12 weeks, to the day, after having both of my knees replaced. We had 15 yo twins and 2 young adult children in college still at home. Three months after our loss, we bought a foreclosed home and started work on it. A few month later, we moved across town. It's been a tough couple years and it's time I came up for air. Time to take care of me and figure out what I'm going to do with the rest of my life.

I weighed 134, ate healthy and was really active (worked out with weights and walked 20+ miles/week) when I got married 8/1997. I felt really good about myself and I want to get there again...eventually. I'm currently working toward the goal of losing the weight gained since I quit smoking on 2/26/10

I really haven't totally cut out anything. Chocolate is NOT my enemy, neither are carbs. I'm doing more of an 80/20 (making good choices 80% of the time) approach. Making healthy food choices, no mindless eating, logging EVERYTHING, strength training 3 times/week, cardio 3-5 days/week.

I'm Shannon, 50's. I live in Michigan with 4 of our kids...between his, mine and ours, we have nine all together.

I love to read, knit, spin with a drop spindle and sit on my a$$ at this computer.
