GRANNYJACKIE2's SparkPage


I am a follower of the Lord Jesus. I believe that sharing the Gospel with non-believers is the duty and mission of every Christian. I was a full-time Christian missionary serving in Zambia until Oct. 28, 2019, when I had to return because of heart failure.. I have not taken care of myself and have allowed myself to get into the obese range.
I used Sparkpeople from June 2011-June 2013 to lose weight and get into shape. Then my husband died in June 2013, and I just didn't care anymore. ...

Lately, I have noticed that not only am I overweight, but I'm having symptoms of heart disease. I rejoined Sparkpeople on Sept. 6th, 2019. On September 17th, 2019, I saw a cardiologist and she has determined that I'm in the beginning stages of heart failure. It's a good thing that I have Sparkpeople to help me get healthy.

    How about trying the 5% winter challenge? It’s an 8 week commitment, plus the practice week. Team invites go out to the private teams in approximately 2 weeks, but sign ups are now on the overall team page. Join us on the Cloverleafs team? If yes or maybe visit my last blog for the link to the overall team, review challenge rules, and signup! We’d love to have you and this is my favorite team in Sparkpeople. We’re a supportive, interactive team and some members have participated for years. I’m a 3 year veteran!

    From one GrannyJackie to another,
    Your words are so helpful! I'm crying as I read your words, and know that you are right.
    I have to take care of my family as well as my Mom.
