I am a divorced mother of 4 girls, who are all grown and living with their own families/significant others now. I have 6 wonderful grandchildren. I work as a tech in our local hospital's emergency room, which is very high-stress. I am also a full-time student at a local university. I have a dog and 2 cats, and love to read, watch movies, keep up with friends on facebook, and do home improvement projects. I also love to garden when I have the time. But my biggest passion is cruising. I go on 2-3 cruises per year.

I am now on a quest to eat better, drop a few pounds, and more importantly (for me), get into better physical condition.
