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.

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!

    Dear Carolyn, Thank you so much for your support on my blog. How is the Zoom teaching going? I hope you got help in getting started. There’s talk at my school of continuing on Zoom in April when I switch to part-time. It’s really a second best to face-to-face teaching, but it has some advantages.

    Shiro had a procedure at the hospital where he is now. For the bigger operation, he’s going to another good hospital in Tokyo. He’ll be home from Friday to Wednesday.. He sounds very well on the phone. Without being able to visit, I’m surprised at how tough it feels to live alone. I’m not used to it any more, but I have so many more resources than he does to keep occupied and busy.

    I hope you are well and not too busy, and that your knees are not giving you trouble as you wait for your operation. Keep well and keep safe.

    Thank you for reading my blog, I really appreciate it.
    No matter what advice we are given, how it is presented or by whom, we must be ready to do the work or change will not happen.

    Hi thanks for stopping by my blog! So happy to hear that my enthusiasm could be somewhat contagious! (especially since all that's contagious these days isn't usually so great). This last year I too had felt short on enthusiasm and hope, but once again (as I said in my blog about being back for the millionth time), I'm here and am working it. I've got such a long ways to go to get to a healthy BMI, but I can't get too distracted by that. So I'm focusing on week to week goals, and working on the first 50 lbs as my first "big" goal. I must be a goal nerd though, because my home page has all sorts of tangible goals on it - I really like seeing the baby step progress when the end goal is so big and far away. Best to you this week.
