My first post!!!

Okay - where to begin? Ahhhhh...okay, I'm a nearly lifelong Weight Watchers member. This is not to be confused with a "lifetime" WW member, who is someone who has actually been successful enough on the program to reach their goal weight and to maintain that goal weight for something like 6 weeks. Wouldn't know about that exactly since I have a zillion pounds to go and it's too depressing to think about. Anyway, I am trying to lose weight - even moreso since I became a future MOB in just about 10 (gasp) weeks! egads!

I also am a gym rat, which goes along with the WW program. I go almost daily - step aerobics, spin class, kick boxing, bar, you name it, I do it. Not that you could tell but I think I must be very fit under all this - well, you know...

In addition, I really love gardening. It has always been my dream to spend 40 hours a week in my garden and now that I've retired I really have the time. But mother nature has thrown a monkey wrench in this plan in the form of - a 3-year drought. However, I still enjoy mucking around out there. My 3-year old blueberry bushes are loaded! I'm pretty proud of that - there's nothing like harvesting (and eating) the fruits of your labor! Other than a few tomato plants, all my other plants are flowers. I'm seriously considering replacing some rose bushes with zucchini, more tomatoes, and peppers next year. We had some rain today (not enough - but oh well), so today I'm optimistic. :->
