I am a Secondary Math teacher (9-12) that loves to write and eat. Finally had to make a decision to either get rid of the fat or end up with diabetes and a wheelchair. I decided to get rid of the fat, no matter how long or what I have to do. I tried Atkins long ago and it dropped my 675 trilycerides to just over 200 (where they have stayed since) till the last blood test after I started Atkins. They are now for the first time in 10 years under 200!!!!! I have gotten off my high blood pressure meds and hoping I can drop the thyroid some day.:)

I live with two dogs, a Bedlington Terrier named Star who turned 13 this year, a pom-poo mix named Sadie who is 7, and a calico cat named Fancy who turned 19 this year. I am always watching her for signs of age but she still plays, has all her teeth and jumps onto a 4 foot wall in the backyard all the time. So far, no worries.

I love to garden and promote growing small items inside your house over the winter for relaxation and good food. I love to pick tomatoes in November that actually taste like a tomato should. Next winter I am trying beets, carrots, lettuce varieties etc. Should be fun.
