A new me!!
Well starting over again. I worked really hard this past spring and lost about 20lbs...then bought Halloween candy...well as soon as it is gone...then back to the NO RED MEATS and NO Corn products. Seems those are my triggers along with sugars..so NO holiday baking for me as well this year. Our grown kids are going to be gone or doing something with other family members this year so it will be easier on me to not feel like I have to cook. Our church does Thanksgiving dinner the Sunday before ...

Our grown kids are going to be gone or doing something with other family members this year so it will be easier on me to not feel like I have to cook. Our church does Thanksgiving dinner the Sunday before and we are designated to smoke the turkeys and hams so I plan to prepare healthy sides.
So more veggies, fruits and low fat meats and less bread and sugars.
Member Since:
4/23/2008
My Goals:
I mainly want to get down in weight so that I can breathe better and do some of the things I used to do. And to protect the joints and the joint replacements I have
My Program:
I plan to keep my daily calorie intake at about 1300 and up my movement in cardio (dance) to 10minutes per day.
Walking at least 15minutes per day.
Personal Information:
I'm Barb from Arkansas. I am a retired (due to disabilities RA) teacher. I have taught every grade from K-12 and I taught over 25 years. I have a BS in Education and a MEd in reading. I now do alot of embroidery and I love watching birds and taking photos of wild flowers. I love flowers and herbs and cooking. I also love trying new foods and new eating places.
Other Information:
I love embroidery and wool applique. I do not like winters as I tend to gain more then. I love the outdoors but am motion challenged now.

How are you liking the new Spark changes? Or are you? Hope all is well with you and yours. Have a great weekend!
Three to six inches of snow predicted for tomorrow. Oh, bother! Was enjoying the sun and spring like temps today.
