Changing a little at a time!
May 15, 2013... After four months without being able to post SparkPeople blogs and IT neighbor helped me figure out why and today I was able to post a new blog entry. WooHoo!
With the cooler season beginning here on the equator, I want to do more walking for exercise. It's not easy though with bad knees, the one that broke last year and the other that has bad arthritis. But, I plan on moving just the same.

January 7, 2013... my 5 year SparkVersary! This past year has been a difficult one because of breaking my left knee, falling and then breaking my left wrist (March 5th). I was in a wheelchair for 3 1/2 months then back on my feet after having had six surgeries. Although I did gain weight during the year, it could have been worse. BUT my weight loss journey restarted on Dec. 11, 2012. I have already lost 6 pounds in less than a month.
More About me:
I am from Nebraska but I work in Africa as a nurse at a Christian hospital. I teach in the Nursing School. I have also been the hospital's bookkeeper off and on.
I have been on SparkPeople since January 7, 2008, thus my Spark name Carolyn 0107. I am 63 years old.
One exciting thing. I am an Ovarian Cancer survivor since June 15, 2004! That means on June 15, 2012 I was a 8 year Cancer Survivor! Praise the Lord!
June 25, 2011- 1st 5K WALK, 60 minutes.
July 2, 2011 2nd 5K WALK, 55m25s. Shaved 4m35s off my time of last week! WooHoo!
March 5, 2012... I dislocated my left knee and broke my tibia (leg) then fell and dislocated and broke my left wrist. An artery in my knee was torn so a surgeon took a vein and made me a new artery out of the vein! On June 19, 2012 I had a total knee replacement.
Dec 11, 2012 I fly back to Africa. Praise the Lord!
I will NOT give UP!
