Live Right and Love Life


I'm here for the camaraderie. I love my Spark neighborhood. I'm grateful to you all for being a bright spot in my life.

Member Since: 5/25/2010

Fitness Minutes: 7,165

My Goals:
My main goal is to be healthy in body and spirit so that I can live the right kind of life.

My Program:
 Eat properly. Forget about food at the end of every meal. Weigh once a week. Do not obsess. Do not limit life in any way because of body size.


Personal Information:
I'm from a tiny town in Georgia (with no traffic lights), but now I live in Kobe, Japan. I'm married to a Japanese and have three bilingual, bicultural children--a son, 30, a daughter, 28, and a daughter, 23. I teach English to Japanese company workers, 99% of whom are men. I like my job.

Other Information:
 I love reading. One of my favorite books is Fred Chappell's novel "Brighten the Corner Where You Are." And if I could state my philosophy, the title of that book would be IT!

    Taking time "to smell the roses" is what my plans on for now. I think making changes slowly and steadily will result in permanent changes for the good.

    Thank you for commenting on my BLOG about change. I'm certain that if you follow the "slow but steady wins the race" theory, you too will be very happy with the results.

    All the best to you. Have an awesome weekend. Living in Japan must be so beautiful. My cousin lives with his wife and son n Taiwan and some of the pictures of places they have been are just breath taking.

    It's been humid here lately! Rain is always a welcome thing here in the desert. Problem is...everyone here has swamp coolers (which don't work well with humidity) so I'm sitting here with the fan sweating too. lol.

    Anyway, as you said it will be nice to have the site (and certain people on it!) there when I get home. So you keep up the blogging too, li'l missy!

    Konnichiwa!

    5:45!? Are you in Japan?!

    I'm actually part Japanese. My grandmother is from there. Married a cute Irish-American soldier and came over to meet John Wayne. lol.

    Have a great day!

    YAY = go do that exercise video!!! You WILL feel better :)
    I hear you about the joint pain... my knee doc suggested fish oil pills and I've found that I'm doing real well with Mega Red krill oil joint care... it was mightly expensive but it's helping me more than the regular fish oil I"d been taking for months.

    Move - move - move!!!!
