About Me

Hi! I'm the mother of two nearly grown kids (sometimes I think it will take forever)... I have a grandson named Gavin who is 2 years old. I love spending time with him, he is the highlight of my day!

I work in Information Systems as a Business Analyst/Project Coordinator. I have a long drive to and from work, approximately 150 miles daily, which sucks up alot of my free-time.

I'm a Type II Diabetic and was having problems with keeping my Blood Glucose in a decent range and feeling awful because of it - very TIRED. I saw my doctor and found I had also gained 15 pounds-now just over 300lbs. We discussed the alternative to losing weight which for me is insulin shots. NOPE! I decided to take the bull by the horns. I'm learning alot about Low Glycemic eating and in just 1 month I had lost 7 lbs. Then I found NutriMirror and began logging and learning. I've lost another 6.3 lbs! I'm now eating to be healthy and have a routine where I eat every couple of hours.

My Goals

Making lifestyle changes that may seem difficult at first but will make me healthy and happy and as a result keep my Blood Glucose under control and kick DMII in the butt.
