Illiniteacher52 - being a full time caregiver makes it a challenge to keep up with tracking food and getting enough exercise. Finally "retired" from teaching and hit the milestone birthday this year where I qualify for Medicare. Also qualify for Silver Sneakers program so I am excited about that!

    Yes, they live in that area - we played at Bensen Park all the time as kids.
    My parents were just here for a visit this past week, so I got off track a bit with the calories (couldn't resist mom's strawberry-rhubarb pie!) and gained a little. My dad is 62 & still very active so we did some walking and he tried to teach me how to play tennis....haha!

    I got in one momentum workout, but need to get back on track this week. I tend to drag on Mondays it's hard for me to shift gears after the weekend. Maybe I'll force myself to do at least the 6 minute NO EXCUSES workout tonight....the hardest part is getting started, right? Once I start I'll want to keep going a few minutes longer.

    Thanks for checking in! Let me know how you do! emoticon

    You have got to be kidding me!! I'm originally from Wood Dale - no joke! My parents and brother still live there off of Mill Rd. on the Itasca border We went to the Itasca schools. I went to Peacock Jr. High & Lake Park High. What a small world ! I moved away for college and never went back - ended up in NJ, but all my family is out in the Chicago-Metro area. How long have you been in OH?

    Thanks for stopping by. For some reason I thought you might be from Champaign Ill. We went through there on our way to our GS# 5 HS graduation and realized how lucky our farms are, soo much under water. Looks like your doing super on Sparks, let's keep em rolling. Skeeter emoticon
