Main Goal

My goal weight is 125. First goal is to get under 160. (I made it!!! 11-5-08)Next goal is 150lbs. I'll be taking it one step at a time. I'm trying to eat right and exercise not only for my health but to set a good example for my husband (who needs to lose more weight than I do) and life-long habits for my daughter. Even tho I don't have a lot of weight to lose, I'm more than 20% over my final goal weight. That's enough to effect my blood pressure, my heart, cholesterol levels and general health! Got to get healthy!!

Previous Diets

None really, I have a hard time committing to a "diet".

Favorite Workouts

I don't really like to exercise but if I had to choose, I like aerobics, dancing, walking and iceskating.

Things To Do Before I Die

Not really sure. I'm pretty happy with my life as it is except for my weight. Maybe go on a cruise! Learn to belly dance and be skinny enough to look great in the costume! On stage or off, I want to get back into the theatre!

Favorite Activities

COOKING! I love to create in the kitchen. My newest challange is to make my favorites lower in calories and higher in nutrition. I also enjoy all kinds of arts and crafts including sewing, crocheting and scrapbooking.

Favorite Music

I like it all! Classical, country, alternative rock, clasic rock, oldies, some hip-hop, gospel, christian rock... The list goes on. It all depends on my mood. I just enjoy music. BTW I love Christmas music!

Favorite Movies

This is a tuffie! I really enjoy all the action adventure movies esp. the comic book films. (ie, Spiderman, X-Men, Iron Man, The Punisher etc.) I also enjoy all kinds of mysteries, psycho-thrillers and comedies too. Of course I watch all the Disney movies too! Not much of a chic-flic fan. A little off kilter here but I love musicals!

Favorite TV Shows

CSI used to be on top but things are getting weird on all 3 shows. HEROS is my #1 right now. Can't get enough! Thank goodness for DVR because without it I wouldn't be watching any tv at all! I also love Food Network. I get the most amazing recipes there.

Favorite Books

I love to read so this could be a long list. I really enjoy cook books and craft books of all kinds. My favorite authors are douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, Ben Rehder, Paul Levine, Stephen J. Cannell, Stewart Woods, Janet Evanovich, Michael Crichton, James Rollins, David Morrell. Whew, that's enough. I have also read (and enjoyed) Stephen King, Dean Koontz, Anne Rice (vampires and witches) John Saul, Kathy reichs, Tony Hillerman, John Grisham, and many more. Oh yeah, I enjoy reading my bible too. 0:)

Other Interests

Wow, um.... eating? LOL I think that's what got me into this mess. If you spell it F-O-O-D I pretty much eat it. Not picky at all. I love spending time with my family! All of them! :) I also enjoy going to church and attending my bible study group. They're my "chosen family". As I was looking thru some old stuff today I reminded myself how much I love (and miss) doing theatre!

About Me

I'm a stay-at-home mom (pic on rt) and I sell Mary Kay from home! (padams49@marykay.com) I have one child born in 2005. Happily married since 2000. My family tree is kinda weird. I am an only child from my biological parents. When my mom re-married, I gained a step brother and sister (both within 5 years of my age)plus a half sister who's 16 years younger than I am (that's skinnykitty on this site). When my dad remarried this time (third wife) I gained a step-mother who's 3 years younger, a step-sister who's 29 years younger, and a half-brother who's 34 years younger than me. Bizarre! However, regardless of age, I love my family!
Forgot to mention that I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2003. I manage it pretty well and most people can't tell I have anything wrong with me. This is something that makes exercising difficult for me. However, I'm determined to do the right thing for my health and I'm doing it under a drs care.

I know i know i know. I've just been busy. And the holidays... you know the holidays. Eating nothing but whats in sight for 3 weeks, not a pretty site. But I'll pop on the scale later this week and see the damage. :) Thanks for thinking of me though.

And HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Hi, Thank you for the add! You could be more of a help then you know! My husband of 23 years (now ex) would not allow me to wear makeup so now at age 43 I have NO idea what to do or how to do it in the makeup area. Lot's of things I was not allowed to do except eat..eat..eat.... Change is in view. Have a wonderful day and thanks again for the add!

Dear Friend,
I love the book of James..lol..Consider it joy when you go through trials and tribulations..still have a hard time with that one, but right now when all is well I think it's kind of comical...as I look around to see if lighting is about to strike..No really, I agree, the book is a great one as so many of them are real food in my life.
