About Me

I am a 52-yr old (ugh, birthday, make that 53) wife of a retired CEC Navy man, home-schooling mother of 5 great kids with an age span from 9 to 21, two at A&M. I have gained 10 pounds per child that I couldn't lose, plus 20 extra during menopause when my metabolism took a major hit. I am happily settled down in Texas after living on Ponape and Chuuk Islands, Rota, Spain, Washington State, California several times, Maryland and Virginia courtesy of the Navy.

I am a professional pianist and accompanist, and though practicing is a workout for my fingers and brain, it is mostly sedentary for the rest of my flab.

I have tried every diet out there to no avail, because I get tired of them and then gain everything back. I usually lose 10 pounds pretty quickly, then gain 15. I am amazed that I was convinced that I was fat when I weighed 135.

I love gardening, bird watching, crocheting and playing chamber music. The beach is my favorite place (former California girl) My husband found this and now I'm hooked.

Why I Want To Get In Shape

My clothes don't fit, and I am unmotivated to do anything I don't have to do to survive. I delete every picture taken of me. Which is why my catahoula dog looking fed up is in my place. I will update it eventually.
