Hi,
I've been member of SparkPeople since 12/07 so I thought I would update my SparkPages. By the way, that's me in the burgandy shirt and my sweetheart is in the blue sweater (kneeling front row right). Four generations in this picture.
My name is Ken. I am now 62 years old and have been married for 39 years on August 30th to my college sweetheart and best friend. I have two wonderful children, a son 35 and a duaghter 31. I also have three (four now) grandchildren, 2 girls (13 & 6), a boy (2), and another boy (6 Months).
When I began this journey I stated that I was sick of being sick, and intended to take control of the sickness, quit smoking (August of this year I will have been smoke free for 2 years), get off depression and insomnia medication( thank God, no more drepression and no more insomnia), lose approximately 10 pounds ( I actually gained about 25) that I put on due to the above medications, and exercise and rehabilitate my back (two ruptured discs), and would stirve to once again play golf with my son and best friend (so far I've made it back to the practice range with no pain). Accomplishing this will allow me to to continue to be with my wife and sweetie and enjoy our golden years and further enjoy my children and grandchildren, and be an integal part of their lives.
Since joining SparkPeople (mainly since January of this year), I have been able to make great progress. On January 1st of this year my wife and I both joined a gym. That program, learning to eat right, working out at home, and Yoga has helped me attain almost all my original goals. I still wor out at home, too.
My last continuing goal is to daily encourage and offer help to other Sparkers. They sure did it for me!
