Thanks for visiting my page.
I am just a simply country girl who like the out doors. You always say you are going to move out of the area when you are young but when you grow up you realize what a life you lived. I personally would rather be outside than in except when I am cooking or quilting but it does not always work that way.

My weight has gotten the best of me. It is time for me to do something before it get way out of hand.
Getting more active on sparkpeople has been an asset to me. I am now working out more and more on my Wii and it shows.
Loosing weight has never been this much fun.
