WELCOME TO MY SPARK PAGE......thank you for stopping in.:)

My journey with Spark People has been and will continue to be a very exciting one.

On joining last February, 2009 I did not know what to expect.
Now I know...!! As I learned to navigate my way around, I
discovered so many helpful topics, which I read that gave me a wealth of information and knowledge.
Teams to join, recipes to try, and so much more.

My focus was on losing weight, eating the right foods,
to become a healthier me. I remembered to track my
my foods eaten, and my exercises. This was my challenge to me.

times, I get up eight.

My name is: Paula Marguerite Strasburg,
I am married to the most wonderful man in the world, his name is Wayne Allen Strasburg.
We live in Chippewa Falls, WI, on lake Wissota.

I have multiple disabilities, which are:

I have severe copd, influenza, nerve and muscle damage, Fibermyalgia, Spinal Stenosis, atrophy, auropathy, narrowing of the spine, asthma, scoliosis, and diabeties.

I use a walker most of the time, and a wheel chair when I cannot walk.

I have pain 24/7 which is controlled by medication I am on for some relief.

Over the spring, summer and fall I knit or crochet blankets, hats, scarfs, and mittens, for new born babies, and children.

I enjoy reading, cooking and baking.

I like country music, and old time movies.

I like going for rides in the country with my husband and two fur baby Shih-Tzus, Abigail and Henry, Jr.

I enjoy football and baseball.

I like variety in my life, a choice of things to do.

My favorite holiday is Christmas.

My favorite song is "Amazed" our wedding song. Every anniversary we dance to it, bringing back the day we said, "I Do", and the memories of that special moment in our lives.

I enjoy life and live it to the fullest.
