I am feeling quite settled into our second home in Washington. We are meeting new people, joined a church, are learning more about the area and being very active. We had family visiting and it was a lot of fun doing things with them. Now I am home in Canada for a medical appointment, to check the house, do laundry, catch up on Spark Mail, etc.

I see Spark has launched the sparkcoach so I will give it a try. That means when I am back in Washington I need to search out a wifi zone each day so I can follow it. I am not sure what is required but I will try the introductory 2 weeks.

Today's Assignment - Daily Visualization

Imagine that you've reached your goal weight and a friend asks you for advice on how to live a healthier lifestyle. How does it feel to have others look up to you? How would you help others make positive changes in their own lives based on your experience?

My answer -

Join sparkpeople. Then make living a healthier lifestyle your top priority and fit other things around it.

I would like to be an example to my family and encourage them to lose weight also. I would share with them what worked for me and offer them support to make lifestyle changes.
