"To heal does not necessarily imply to cure, It can simply mean helping people achieve a way of life compatible with their individual aspirations--to restore their freedom to make choices--even in the presence of continuing {pain}."

Reduce chronic pain by losing weight through healthy, mindful eating and by caring for my body through daily fitness activities.

Slow but sure, one day at a time.
Basic healthy living, whole grain, heavy on veggies, low on meats & fats, i.e. "You on a Diet" program.
Not into calorie counting, but tracking food is useful to see where I need to make adjustments and I like to see the nutritional analysis.
Do something every day to MOVE, even if I don't make it to the gym.
Personal Information:
Originally from Western NY; then 15 yrs in San Francisco, now after 15+ yrs in Albuquerque NM, this is my forever home.
Chronic pain is my primary motivation to lose weight and improve my fitness so that I can enjoy the rest of my life to the fullest.

Interested in alternative therapies, i.e. acupuncture, myofascial massage, trigger point and herbal/supplement therapies.

for commenting on my blog… “The view from my window.” 
I have been enjoying a lot of picture blogs of walks 
other Sparkfriends take and our daily walk is usually after dark 
and rather generic compared to the lovely rural America walks I’ve seen, so I went in another direction and appreciate you sitting with me for a spell while I reminisced. I especially value your support and encouragement… with out my Sparkfriends I would never have been successful in changing my lifestyle. Cheers 
to healthy living and NEW Sparkfriends like YOU.
