They say sixty is the new 40 so I'm a New Forty!  My husband of 31 years died 12 months ago and I am determined to stay as healthy as I can - and that means losing weight!  I used to walk 6 mi/day until 1997 when I had a fall that put me in a wheelchair for 6 months.  Not being able to walk really packed on the pounds until I reached 265!

I am trying to adjust to life as a widow and keep busy with "projects" to make it through the day.  I don't watch much TV but I do enjoy reading.  I signed up for art lessons (tonight is the first!) and am slowly making new friends.
