My Goals:
Lose as much weight as I can. (I am not setting defining goals right now).
Lower blood pressure.
More energy.
Never have diabetes.
My Program:
Get 8 hours of sleep a night.
Drink plenty of water and fluids.
Eat lots of fruits and vegetables and get enough protein..
Walking and biking when possible (currently very little). I use housework for exercise, which makes for an even cleaner house!
Personal Information:
I live in snow country. It also gets hot in the summer. The seasons are a big factor in my life. This is also farm country.
I like organic gardening and using heirloom seeds.
I like nature photography.
I am a lifelong learner.
My husband and I have been married 38 years.
Other Information:
I have been called Pollyanna at times. :)
