Hi! I will be 70 years old in one week and I have joined SP for the second time now. I have been married almost 48 years, have 3 children, 2 sons-in-law, 1 daughter-in-law and 9 grandchildren from ages 23 - 5. I want to be around until I reach 100, be in great health for all those years and continue to enjoy my wonderful family. I am still working at a job I love and can't imagine ever fully retiring. I still have a contribution to make and God willing, I will be able to continue so long as my legs can get me where I am going : )

My goals are to lower my blood pressure (already succeeded) amazing as that sounds thanks to SP! I also want to lower my cholesterol and I am considering the weight loss as my strategy for accomplishing my two primary goals.

I am following my SP guidelines for Calories, Carbs, Fats, and Proteins and measuring EVERY bite of food and sips of beverages I put in my mouth. I am measuring other nutrients such as sodium and cholesterol as well. I have reduced my salt intake and have learned to season my food with other things. I repeat my mantra whenever I feel vulnerable. My mantra is the title of my page... I MADE THE DECISION ONCE! That way I don't have to keep remaking the decision. The decision is to do this! It doesn't matter if it is a good day or a bad day, if I feel good or if I feel bad. Whenever I say my mantra I calm down and drink water, get some fruit or just say, I love you Judy.... That's the deal folks.....I am here to stay!

I am from Minnesota and I LOVE it!

I love digital photography and making slideshows with my photos set to music. I love creating a "feeling" and there is something about pictures set to music that can make you smile, laugh, cry or simply relax.

Add a Link I am posting a link (if it works) to my personal blog. I have been blogging since 2006. Please feel free to stop by and visit. Blogging was a wonderful outlet in 2010 when my 42 year old daughter was diagnosed with breast cancer. Talk about miracles happening! She is alive, well and able to be a mom to her three young boys! Thank you God! <link>www.judyslife.blogspot.com</link>
