My name is Karla and I am a work in progress and everyday I evolve into something more than I was the day before.

Yes I am over weight and have been for most of my adult life but now I find that I embrace the battle for my good health with both arms and I look high and low for new ways to keep me motivated and inspired.

My name is Karla and I am a work in progress and everyday I evolve into something more than I was the day before.

Yes I am over weight and have been for most of my adult life but now I find that I embrace the battle for my good health with both arms and I look high and low for new ways to keep me motivated and inspired.

Sometimes it is an article I read on here or someones page but mostly it is my wonderful sister's and friends I have made while I have been a member on Spark. They walk with me when the going is easy and they lift me up and carry me when the going is hard.

I never give up on my journey and finally I am beginning to look at it as an adventure in healthy eating, plenty of exercise and just having a positive attitude. If you cannot have fun on this journey you will burn out and fall by the wayside.

I will succeed because I believe in myself. I do not do this for my family although they will benefit, or my spouse but he will have me by his side longer, I do this for me so that I will feel glorious with the new me I am becomming and I will look life right in the eye and shout BRING IT ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days attack me at once. ~Jennifer Yane

If you keep putting off until tomorrow, what you could/should do today, you will eventually run out of tomorrows. by me Nimsy

Courage does not always roar - sometimes it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying "I will try again tomorrow." - Mary Anne Radmacher

Today is a battle, this journey is your fight, your fight for good
health and a healthy way of life, do not treat it lightly, for the
consequences of poor health are dire...........TODAY PICK UP YOUR SHIELD, GIRD YOURSELF WITH ARMOR, STRAP ON YOUR SWORD AND SOUND OUT YOUR
BATTLE CRY and FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT for your healthy life............................. said to me by one of my BFF's Honey-Hairpins.

I returned ,and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
For men also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the sons of man snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them. Ecclesiastes 9:11-12

Today has been given to me, fresh and new. I can learn from it or throw it away. I will choose to do my best in thoughts, words and actions. This day will be used, Not lost. by me Nimsy

The best six doctors anywhere,
And no one can deny it
Are sunshine, water, rest, and air,
Exercise and diet.
These six will gladly you attend,
If only you are willing
Your mind they'll ease,
Your will they'll mend,
And charge you not a shilling.
~Nursery rhyme quoted by Wayne Fields, What the River Knows, 1990

The Best Way Out is Always Through by BJ Gallgher

Our journey of life is about progress,not perfection.
It's not about doing one thing100% better -it's a matter of doing 100 things,1% better each day.

Progress is evolutionary not revolutionary,and most days we measure our progress in inches,not miles.

What matters most is showing up for your life whether you feel like itor not.

Ask yourself,"What two or three little things can I do todaythat would move me forward?"

You'll be amazedat how much distance you can cover
by taking it in increments.

The little things add up;the inches turn to miles;and we string together our efforts like so many pearls.
Before long,look what you have -a whole strand!

My Fairy Name:
Feather Iceleaf
She protects the vulnerable and brings justice to the wronged.
She lives in high places where the clouds meet the earth.
She is only seen in the enchanted moment between sleep and waking.
She wears red, cerise and purple berry colours and has icy blue butterfly wings.

I am 1/4 Potawatomi Indian on my Dad's side. And my family does belong to the tribe.
