Introduction Text I found SP while looking for a nutrition calculator. I'd lost 25 pounds without much of an idea about what I was doing. I was amazed and grateful to discover that Sparkpeople is so much more than a calorie tracker. I know from experience that making small, consistent positive changes snowballs into an avalanche of change. I didn't know that I would need to pay attention to every day if I wanted to hang on to the benefits of those changes. I didn't know that nothing is or can be allowed to be more important than health. Not studying. Not chores. Not even family demands. But I am learning that now.

Each day I will.... *Exercise 30 minutes *Drink 8 glasses of water *Track my food on Spark Nutrition and stay within limits *Eat within my Spark Nutrition Tracker parameters. *Work on a step in Beck Diet Solution

I'm from Seattle Washington and I LOVE to hike. Love, love, love to hike!

I have juvenile diabetes which puts an extra wrinkle into exercise, like checking blood sugar in the middle of a long run and carrying juice and a glucometer everywhere. Oh yes, and occasionally crashing. I'm midway through nursing school where I am probably the oldest nursing student ever.
