I will record my daily exercise and Living the Good Life Points, and on Saturday mornings I will weigh in and record it. I will check in with my team daily and leave a comment on the Discussion Board. I will read and comment on blogs as I have time.

GOAL: Begin SP's 5% Fall Challenge 2/?/13. Increase strength/endurance/balance...build muscle, lose inches, and lose 10 more #...Strengthen my back and legs.


A friend (KADYDIDI) from our quilting guild introduced me to SP. I joined in August 2008, but didn't get around to doing this page until January 2009 when I signed up for the New You Bootcamp Challenge with my second daughter. I have struggled with weight issues for a while (since before the birth of my youngest-now 33). I want to get healthy, which includes losing some weight to help out my arthritis in my back, knees, and feet. I herniated 3 discs in my lower back causing some nerve damage in February 2010 and am still trying to rebuild my strength. I thank the Lord that I can finally walk right after 2 years! I was eating clean, but hit a plateau-so, I switched to slow carb (4HB) and have lost another 28.5 lbs. as of 2/4/13.

Mary, thank you for the comment on my blog post. I hope they give me more things to do, but it doesn't seem likely. There's 3 of us in the office in the same scenario and the one gal that's been there the longest has the same access that I have, doing the same things that I'm doing! I believe I could have done all of the work that I accomplished in 4 days before my lunch break on day one. I send most of the day looking for things to do, it's so boring!!! I don't mind working for my money, I just wish they would let me do some work!

In my past, I've lived in Okinawa.(long time ago.) One of my friend was from Yomitan.
Okinawa is a one of beautiful island in Japan. Love their foods and culture. People are generally nice there then in the big city like Tokyo.
