Introduction Text I'm a 59 year old married mother of 3 beautiful girls. I live in Canada where the weather is anything from snowy winter days to hot and humid summers, but I wouldn't have it any other way! I don't know how many times I have come and gone from Sparkpeople (maybe 4), but it is the best thing I have ever done for me. I faithfully lose weight while on it and am physically in much better shape. I am so motivated right now, I wish I could harness this feeling. I don't want to lose it, so I am going to try to commit to making Sparkpeople a part of my life forever and ever. Amen!

1. To get to my goal weight and manage to stay within 5 pounds of it for the rest of my life! 2. To joyfully make exercise a regular part of my life. 3. To get my family to join me in my fitness, whether it's biking, walking, swimming or tennis! 4. To love myself and enjoy life to it's fullest. 5. To encourage other SP members, to stay in the SP program forever! It's such an important part of my weight loss, but more importantly, my new lifestyle. 6.

It's small but it's really well organized. I bought a treadmill, bosu ball, exercise ball, dumbbells, resistance bands, body bars (10 and 22 lbs), bench, weighted vest and yoga mat. I need variety for me to stay interested, at least I now know that much about me. I have gone online and found a few websites that are constantly updating it with short but killer 10-20 minute workouts ... no excuses when running out of time! I have saved these in my Favourites Bar so they are easy to find again. I am also a planner, so I have created a spreadsheet with about 6 different workouts with dumbbells. They say you shouldn't do the same routine all the time, so this helps me to mix it up. As for food, I tend to do simple but low-cal breakfasts, my main meal at noon and then a big salad with



I'm a Meg Ryan fan, love You've Got Mail and Sleepless in Seattle. I'm a romatic, love comedies and romantic movies/novels.

A four-pound bass. A full moon. An empty parking space. A crackling fire. A great meal. A glorious sunset. Hot soup. Cold beer. Don't fret about copping life's grand awards. Enjoy its tiny delights. There are plenty for all of us." - Author Unknown
