Introduction Text Hi! I'm Barb. Although I am originally from New England, I have been living in southeast Michigan for several years where I work as a contractor in the auto industry. A couple of years ago, I had dropped a little over 30 pounds using Sparkpeople but then had a serious car accident. Unfortunately that 30 pounds came back while I was recovering and I am still struggling to get back on track to a healthier me. In late June, 2020, I was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinomas which is a form of skin cancer. This has been a huge wake-up call for me to really commit to living a healthy life style including consistently wearing sun screen. Thank-You for visiting My SparkPage.

Long Term Goal: 145 pounds - BMI threshold weight between being overweight and healthy for my height Mid Term Goal: 174 pounds - BMI threshold weight between being obese and overweight for my height Short Term Goal: Losing the next 10 pounds.

Diet: I am using the Sparkpeople nutritional guidelines using foods with ingredient lists that look like a recipe I could make in my kitchen (avoiding processed foods). I am also trying to cut back on my sugar intake. Goal: Maintain a daily calorie range of 1200-1550 Exercise Goal: Get a minimum of 60 minutes of intentional exercise daily Goal: 12,000 steps a day (app 5 mile, for me) Sleep Goal: Get a minimum of 6 hours of sleep per night.
