Introduction Text My name is Sheila and I moved to Texas with my husband, Fred, my son Jeff and our dog, Max. I am a 70 something who has survived a major move to the DFW Metroplex area from Virginia. We moved here to take care of my 98 yr. old Dad. I've had some health issues and medication that took me far from my goals -- and I have neglected exercise for a while. Since I am at my all time highest weight I have decided to change my priorities and yes -- start over. So here goes.

My goal is to lose 26 lbs., live a more active lifestyle and & be able to wear a size 10! Lose 2 lbs. per week until I reach my goal Maintain a healthy weight and more active lifestyle.

My plan is to do the following: Record all food & exercise with Spark People Trackers. Do 30 minutes of cardio 5 days per week.

I live in a rural community northwest of Ft. Worth. I oversee the care of my 98yr. old father who lives in Assisted Living here in Texas about an hour away. I have a grown son who lives with us and a daughter back in Virginia and 3 grandchildren. One in college, one in high school and one in Nursery School. I miss them terribly and I spend my time commuting and caring for Dad and painting and restoring furniture. I need to do more exercise and take much better care of myself.

Bucket List: (This list will change as we go along. it is a work in progress.) Achieve my goal weight Achieve a more fit body Complete writing my cookbook Get better at my hobby of refinishing furniture Have a home in a warm climate near the shore Travel to Florida's West Coast, Ireland &the Canadian Northwest
