The 50s have not been the best years so far for me, but...I have not made it to 60 yet. So, I am making a choice to be much better at 60 than I am now. Well, I am now on my 59th year....November moves me to the 60s. I don't feel that old but chronologically, I am there. I am still determined to be better in my 60s than my 50s!

Changes: cancellation of plans, relocation, death of my mother, relocation AGAIN, loss of job, moving in with aging MIL, loss of job again, and ...

In all of this Yah is Good and His Mercy forever endures.

My Goals:
1. Have my A1c under 7.0 by January 2014
2. Be able to stand for 30 minutes by January 2014
3. Be able to walk without a cane or walker by summer of 2014


My Program:
 Keep my meals on plan.
Do some sort of exercise every day.
Track both every day.


Personal Information:
I am from Texas. I am married to my excellent husband Richard. We are a childless couple. I currently tutor online helping people all over the world improve their english speaking and writing skills. I am a type 2 diabetic with severe neuropathy in my feet. I have extremely bad knees and cannot stand for more than 5 minutes. I really need help :-)

Other Information:
 In the past I have known that low-carb works for me. NOW! I am convinced this is the way of life for me.

    Welcome to the most friendly, most supportive team in SparkPeople land!! - Please feel free to jump in and join in the message boards. It has been proved that people who contribute to message boards and blog regularly lose more weight, more easily than those who don’t, so come on in.
    It is a great place to be and you will find lots of friends, ideas and links to help and support you at all stages on your journey.
    To help you on your way I have sent you a Sparkmail with resources for exercises that are suitable for those whose mobility is limited, whether by age, physical problems or time. I hope you will find it a useful reference.
    I hope you succeed in all the goals you set.
    Enjoy the journey

    Hi Terasee! I am new to Sparks. Just found this site a week ago. I am also from Texas. I am having a hard time getting myself motivated to just exercise. I have RA and have lots of knee pain so it is hard getting my self to "just do it" lol Trying to at least get myself to make it on a walk everyday. Could use a bit of motivating also! Maybe we can push each other in the right direction. Hope you have a good week. I think that the food tracker is going to be a big help in getting this weight off. Holds me accountable for what I put in my mouth. Have a great day!
