Looking for a better life


I'm a 40-something, hoping that this site finally helps me find a way to reach my goals!
I'm a 40-something, hoping that this site finally helps me find a way to reach my goals!

Member Since: 6/4/2009

Fitness Minutes: 765

My Goals:
I would like to lose weight, but do it in a healthy way, and a permanent way. I'm tired of yo-yo dieting....I only like my yo-yo when it's on the downslide!

My Program:
 For the most part, I am pretty aware of what I eat, mostly all healthy natural foods. Breads are definitely my downfall. I just need to tweek my diet to get the right amount of calories and then work on getting a more steady workout in place, figuring out which workout is the best for me.


Personal Information:
Hi, I'm Cyndi and I'm from the Omaha area. I am 46 and have 4 children by birth and 1 step-daughter, they range in age from 5yrs to 26yrs. I have been having a hard time finding a program that works for me, because I have a heart condition and don't want to push it too much, but know I need to try to get healthier/better shape. Hoping that this will be the answer for me and that I will find at least one person to help keep me motivated, and vice versa!

Other Information:
 Love any movies with Julia Roberts, Richard Gere, Anne Hathaway, or Denzel Washington .
Interested in photography of all kinds, music, healthy cooking, crafts, writing...

    I found this on another page and loved it! So I thought I would share it with you.
    Debbie :)


    When you've eaten too much and you can't write it down,

    And you feel like the biggest failure in town.

    When you want to give up just because you gave in,

    and forget all about being healthy and thin.

    So What! You went over your points a bit,

    It's your next move that counts...So don't you quit!

    It's a moment of truth, it's an attitude change.

    It's learning the skills to get back in your range.

    It's telling yourself, "You've done great up till now.

    You can take on this challenge and beat it somehow."

    It's part of your journey toward reaching your goal.

    You're still gonna make it, just stay in control.

    To stumble and fall is not a disgrace,

    if you summon the will to get back in the race.

    But, often the struggler's, when loosing their grip,

    Just throw in the towel and continue to slip.

    And learn too late when the damage is done,

    that the race wasn't over...they still could have won.

    Lifestyle change can be awkward and slow,

    but facing each challenge will help you grow.

    Success is failure turned inside out,

    the silver tint in a cloud of doubt.

    When you're pushing to the brink, just refuse to submit,

    If you bite it, you write it....But don't you quit!

    I just wanted to say thank you for the nice blog comment, as well as adding me to your friends :) I'm glad things are getting better for me too. UNFORTUNATELY, I have REALLY fallen off track, but I'm planning on getting back on the ball tomorrow :)

    Hi Cyndi, thanks for stopping by my SparkPage & your kind words. You've definitely found the right site to help you achieve your goals. We've got a lot in common. I've yo-yo'd more times than I can count, but this time is different. I think it's got a lot to do with attitude. It's no longer a "diet", but a "healthy lifestyle". Every time I've gone back to my old habits is when I'd shoot back up in weight, but this time around I'm making & sticking to healthier eating choices along with exercising daily. It gets easier with time! Best wishes on your journey - you can do it! Lorie

    Hi Cyndi! I'm doing pretty good. I'm keeping up on my exercise but some days are hard. During the week is easy but the weekend especially a holiday where we have a family cookout is tough. I have tried to walk, do workout dvds, strength training and swimming to make up for extra that I've eaten. Hope things are going well for you too! Diane emoticon
