Introduction Text I'm a 38 year old adoptive mom of 7, 4 boys at home. Trying to lose the extra pounds that I acquired this past year and get healthier. I was born with a congenital heart and lung condition.Which does limit the physical activities that I can take part in. That never really bothered me when I was younger, oddly enough. Only in the last few years. I'd love to be able to hike up a sand dune(we have plenty of them here in northern Michigan!),run, be outside in the winter doing ANYTHING! But I am lucky because of all that I CAN do that,according to my cardiolgists, I shouldn't be able to. If I went by what they've said, I should have died before I was 10! But I am raising my children, caring for my home, and can even do strength training as well as a certain level of cardio. Doctors just don't always have the answers...

My goals,hmm...My primary goals are to get healthier, be more active, and to eat ONLY when I'm hungry. That last one is pretty difficult for me because I LOVE food and eat when I'm bored, lonely, happy, sad, etc.. I want to be healthier at 40 than I was at 20, which shouldn't be too hard!I want to be a happier, more content, and calmer human being ,too.

Mainly, I will be eating healthier again.And MOVING! A year ago I was the thinnest and healthiest I've ever been in my life.Primarily because of walking my dogs, 5 miles, 5 times a week. Plus strength training and lots of dancing with friends. I no longer have dogs(my son's allergies)and circumstances have changed so that I don't dance much anymore. I need to find new ways to get active again that I also really enjoy.

I live in Traverse City, Michigan. Originally from Detroit. Been in the general area for about 10 years, but just moved to Traverse a few months ago. I'd love to find a friend or two, Not just for weight loss/health motivation,but someone with commmon interests to hang out with. Where you arfrom, your name, your email address.
