Introduction Text I have been fighting my weight since I was 5 years old. Now as I enter the second half of this life I want to finally win this battle, so I can enjoy myself more as my husband and I enter into retirement. We want to do more traveling and just enjoying life while we can. When I started with Spark I just wanted to lose weight but now that I am halfway to my weight loss goal I am finding out I want more than that. I enjoy exercising, walking in particular and will be doing at least 1 5K this year and who knows where that will lead maybe even longer distances. I have found that when I eat healthy food I feel better and have more energy. "We'll never know whether something new and wonderful is possible unless we try." Douglas Brinkley

I want to finally get this weight off yet again and keep it off for good. I'm tired of fighting it and doing the yoyo thing. I joined SP May 2009, but didn't really get started seriously until late September.

I plan to go slow and steady like the tortoise. Eating less, excersing more, and drinking more water and tea.

My husband and I live out in the country on 20 acres in NW Missouri close to Smithville Lake with our female lab/pointer mix pup(12 years old but I still call her a pup) named Sadie. We are winter snowbirds that spend 3 months at Powell Park Marina on Lake Sam Rayburn in East Texas fishing. I still work part-time when we are home. I like to knit, crochet, and do decorative painting.

We love to travel in our 5th wheel and have taken some wonderful trips and had some great adventures during our 28 years of marriage. And yes our dog goes everywhere with us.

Add a Link I go by the name of PJ and live north of KC, MO. Winter in East Texas. Onward and Downward Its always too soon to quit. It may take me longer to get to my goal than my original plan but I will get there.
