Nutritionally Yours

Hi! I’m Becky, the Registered Dietitian with Sparkpeople. I live on my “family farm” in southern Indiana with my husband, daughter, and son. It is a small rural community. The closest fast food restaurant is 20 miles away and the nearest shopping mall requires a 50 minute drive. Yes, it is slightly slower-paced, but a pace that I cherish.

I enjoy working in my vegetable garden, preparing new recipes, sewing, and walking in my woods with my canine companions, Roxie and ...

The closest fast food restaurant is 20 miles away and the nearest shopping mall requires a 50 minute drive. Yes, it is slightly slower-paced, but a pace that I cherish.

I enjoy working in my vegetable garden, preparing new recipes, sewing, and walking in my woods with my canine companions, Roxie and Cassius. My children will tell you that I am fixated on eating meals together as a family at the kitchen table. This is often the only chance to connect and catch-up. It is a time to comfort the pains of the day and celebrate the joys of living.

I also admit that I am a techno-nerd. I do not Twitter. I cannot Facebook. Heck, I don’t even own a cell phone. However, I do enjoy connecting with others at Sparkpeople as we journey together to improve our health. So join me, as we:

Ignite our inner fire,
Fuel the blaze daily,
And spread the SPARK to others.

Nutritionally Yours, Dietitian Becky

Food Forests are a very cool method of permaculture food growing that involves planting several layers, from edible ground covers to shrubs/short trees, then high trees, support plants, climbers, etc. You essentially wind up foraging in your own backyard! These guys are doing well with it: http://www.happyearth.com.au/a-forest-of-f

Thank you for responding. I do not track in the nutrition log on SP because it takes way too long. I have a separate journal/ tracking book that I bought at my gym. I lose more weight when my calorie range is 1000. My friend who has to lose 10 lbs joined SP and has the same calorie range of 1200+-1600+. I just started tracking this year 2010 because I hate to track it is a lot of work. I am getting much better at it. I burn between 700-900 calories at the gym 4-5 days a week. I lose more if I don't exercise. I would lose a ton if I could start breastfeeding again ( but that is not going to happen). I just feel it is taking a long time to get into the 180's. I just feel there is something different I need to do. Thank You! Janet

Thanks for chiming in on the coffee debate! I love that you raise your own food and are living simply. My hubby and I are passionate about that too. We're planning a "Food Forest" for our new house, as well as a chicken run. Have a great week!

Hello fellow sparker!! I wanted to ask if the calorie range in the spark diet is right for me?? I have about 70 lbs to lose. 1200+-1600+ is what the calories placed in the nutrition part. I want to lose about 5lbs a month, where do you think my calorie range should be?? Thanks. Janet emoticon
