I am trying to make some big changes -- reducing and removing wheat, sugar, and animal foods from my diet. I do eat organic and local but am moving towards a vegan lifestyle and have about 50 pounds I want to lose too. I live in the beautiful Pacific NW so there are plenty of fun activities here so I can mix up my exercising.

I would like to lose at least 50 pounds in preparation for my daughter's wedding in August 2014. Also, I want to learn to love (or at least appreciate) exercise, not need diabetes medications, greatly improve my mood (overcome depression and anxiety), and reduce pain from arthritis.

I am focusing on managing my diabetes--so important for my future health and avoiding complications! I have also recently stopped eating meat (only veg and fish) and I am working toward being fully vegetarian. I also eat largely organic, seasonal, and local and I think that helps me eat so much healthier.

My name is Cher and I am a writer. I live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest and love animals. I am 60+ and looking forward to making sure I have an active and healthy future!

I'm also dedicated to reducing stress! Saunas and hot tubs, walks in the park, massages, reading by the fire, spending quality time with friends and family, appreciating life more and taking a slower pace.... bring it on. I love kayaking, reading, movies, stamp collecting, and writing (wrote a novel as part of NaNoWriMo 2013).
