When I have time, I enjoy:  Gosh, I can think of lots of things that I wish I had time to enjoy!  Maybe if I put them here, I'll make time for them:  biking, riding, scrap-booking, drawing, writing, reading, taking photos, music.  Sigh...

Other iVillage areas you can find me:  This is pretty much it.

Favorite ways of keeping fit (form of exercise, eating plan, etc.): Power walking; lifting weights; lots of fruits, veggies and water.

Has fitness/healthy living always been a part of your life?  Give a little background:  I always played sports until I got married.  Then, for some reason, I always just watched DH play sports!  Gotten back into fitness over the last 4-5 years and found out that yes, I can still play.  Every year that goes by, it gets more and more difficult to stay in shape.  But when I put my mind and heart into it, it comes back quickly.

When did you start posting here, and what keeps you coming back?  Rhonda always tells me when I started posting (October 16, 2003).  I can never remember!  I drift away now and then because I get busy, but I love to come here and chat with everyone and get ideas.  The women here have made me realize that we all have stresses, ups and downs, problems.  Somehow, knowing that makes it easier.
