My Goals:
I would like to get control over what I do in my life. I want to have the time to create a healthy lifestyle no matter where I am, at home, visiting or enjoying a few hrs. of social time with or without friends.

My Program:
 I will schedule a portion of my time to planning my food and exercise, doing the exercise and preparing the food while leaving enough time for optional things. This will take a lot of pre preparing while in Canada as we live far from the grocery store.

Personal Information:
My name is Gina and I live part of the yr. in northern Canada and part in La Paz , Baha Sur, Mexico. I am married to Charlie and have a dog Badi while fostering Lala. I will turn 65 this yr. and have 7 children and 10 grandchildren.



Other Information:
 My favorite books are A Tale of Two Cities and The trilogy Lord of the Rings. Mostly I love my Faith and will do anything to further it. Being a Bahai is the best thing to ever happen to me and I have such great expectations of humanity. While all the old guard is slowly disintegrating a new world is rising and it will be so much better. To me Spark is part of the new system which is all about truth and reality.

Thanks so much, Gina, for stopping by, giving me a pretty Goodie and explaining how you are tweaking your tracker and the nutrition, recipes, etc. For me it will be easier because I don't have to worry about anyone else but me but I think it is great that your hubby is going along with you. I have been able to reverse my pre-diabetes without the tracker but I really want to use it so I was wondering how to make it work and your ideas will help me a lot. I haven't saved meals yet but will now that you gave me that idea which is a GREAT idea. emoticon

Thanks Gina! Love, Chelsea emoticon

Hello Gina, Thank you for the goodie. I have relatives from Posen, refugees I think from Russia. They went to the Uk in the 1850s and I haven't been able to trace that branch back further because of the lack of records, name changes etc. I've found it a great hobby. Have a good day, whether in you winter or summer home!

Hi Gina, Hope you had a wonderful week and you are ready for a fabulous weekend. Thanks for the sushi. I love sushi. I am so glad to know you are awere of salt and diabetic. Yes, it is hard to find substitu sometime. I like fish sauce as well. I used to make great fried rice and the secret was to put bit of fish sauce. I've stop eating so much of rice nowadays but loved my fried rice. I also stoped use so much of soy sauce as well for eliminating sodium in my foods. I substitu with brrags organic liquid amino. It taste almost soy sauce but much less sodium. But I think it's hard to find substitu for the fish sauce. Most of fermentation use load of salt to preserved the taste or avoid get spoiled I guess. Sorry I can't help. Wishing you to have a wonderful weekend.***Hugs*** Mickey (^O^)／

Yes, Gina you are so right and I am very much in line with you. You can not change what has happened or someone's actions or words towards you.
But you can definitely change your action or feeling towards what has happened to you and make it better. Thanks for your intuition comment and your support. Have a nice and productive week. (^O^)／Mickey
