Introduction Text It is finally time to start thinking of myself and what is good for me. I have to leave something in the tank or I will not be able to care for others much longer.

My goals are less about a number than about a feeling. I want to have more energy, feel better, and just maintain my health as I get older.

At this point, my program is to just get started, incorporate some regular exercise into my week and make better food choices. i am committing to be active on SparkPeople to draw inspiration and be accountable for my progress (or lack of).

My name is Pat. I am from Southern Illinois, near St. Louis, MO. I have three children 22-29, a great spouse, and a sedentary high stress job that requires long hours. I was always too thin growing up but ate everything in sight. Then I had children and everything went too far the other direction.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep, but I have promises to keep and miles to go before I sleep, and miles to go before I sleep. ---Walt Whitman
