A New Day... A New Year...

... a new me? I've done it. Today I signed up for "Sparkpeople.com" a website made specifically to help "spark" people to be all they can be, whether it's dieting (in my case) or getting an edge up on their career - today I decided to join (after all what is there to lose, but pounds?) and see what all I can do to better me.

I started at lunch. Surprisingly I really didn't know what I was filling out -- Now I have found out how many calories I can partake of per day, water to drink, exercise (ugh, did I just say that dirty word?) to do, etc. I'm learning... I've decided the "fast track" fabulous diet pills, diet drinks, etc. isn't working... so perhaps, good hard work, will.

I'd like for my sons to see me thinner again... I'd like for my granddaughters to see me as a "hip gramma-K".. I'd like for my niece, Abby, to want to come up to do things with me, and me... to not be too tired to do them...

So.. as they say, today is the first day of the rest of your life. One of my goals is to journal... that and eat two fruits or veggies a day and walk each day... well, two out of three isn't bad... right? For the first day?

So...drop by my page at sparkpeople.com and see how I'm doing. I'm still navigating around the site trying to figure it out... but I'll be there... and here, journaling, and trying to become the person, I know I am.

About Me

Of all the things I've learned in my life, the most important is that when it all comes down to the very core of life, what matters most is your family. Love them, hold them close, let them know how you feel because when life brings turmoil and chaos, family is what counts.
