I think I originally joined this group because I was not motivated, but I wanted to be. Does that make sense? Well, for 2009 I have all kinds of new motivation. My body is sending me a warning--I spent 2 months or more with high blood pressure. So my Dr put me on the DASH diet, which is pretty easy (diet was not my problem, anyway, rather lack of exercise now after most of my life being very active) -- except for watching your sodium. Dang! sodium is in EVERYthing, huh? LOL.

I have this frustrating back problem, but I have figured out ways to get exercise that will not aggravate my back. Now....FINDING TIME TO DO IT!!!!

Gotta make it a priority.

And, in June my parents are taking my kids, my sister & me to the BEACH.

So, my new goal is simply to get healthy to save my BP from going into full-blown hypertension. if a side-effect is that I lose enough weight to fit into a real bathing suit, OKAY!!!!
