Introduction Text DAILY AFFIRMATION: "I love to move my body! I feel fat burning off of me like the heat of a supernova! I eat the right amount of calories, and I am healthy and happy!" I'm looking forward to learning to eat healthfully, finding a way to exercise that I don't hate and that won't hurt me (arthritis), and being accountable with people who understand what I'm going through. ***Update 27 Nov 2012: I no longer suffer from the pain of arthritis!!!! Working out in healthy ways has changed my life!!*** @@@ Update April 4, 2016: This is HARD but it has to be done! Eating healthy foods and exercising has to become a HABIT ... so I begin again... le sigh

My goals are to strengthen and tone my body, inside and out. My next goal is to lower my blood pressure and cholesterol so I can stop taking those medications. Also to use my nutrition to raise my potassium so I can stop taking that medication too! Finally, it is my goal to manage my reaction to certain known stressors in my life by addressing sleep issues, food, and fitness.

I track my food and fitness daily and have made major changes to what and how I eat. I have connected with others on Spark Teams, and journal regularly, keep a sleep journal, and even a blog or two. I remind myself how much I have to be grateful for and I give encouragement and support to those in my circle of influence.

I am a college professor, and LOVE teaching and working with my students!! But my administration is awful and terrorizing. I am learning to manage the stress of my work environment. I manage to keep it all together externally, but my blood pressure, cholesterol, and weight have sky rocketed in only the last two years...no surprise why!

I'm a Jane Austen junkie! I have also watched the "West Wing" series from beginning to end about 20 times! I'm a college professor and LOVE my work! I love people!
