SparkPoints: 112,235

Fitness Minutes: 71,683

My Goals:
To be able to walk up stairs fast without panting. Update June 10th. 2007. I am maintaining at 190.

My Program:
To go slow and steady.

Personal Information:
In Mar. of 2006 I weighed 251. I decided it was time to quit buying larger clothes and do something. My wife was battling high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol count and borderline diabetes and she started watching her food selection and portions. I went from 251 to 237 Jan. 7th. when I found SPARKS. We live on a farm in Northern Ill. We are actively farming. As you can see from my pictures we enjoy flowers, gardening and grandkids. I'm on the LEE COUNTY board for THRIVENT doing volunteer work in the surrounding communities. Very satisfying endeavor.

Other Information:
My latest book I enjoyed was JUNE by Mary Sanders Smith. Published by LINTEL 24 Blake, Middletown, NY 10940. It's a story of summer life in the 1940's on a farm through the eyes of a young niece.

We just started getting rain--well it started out with blizzards each week in April. Of course, that's not much moisture, but neither is the little dabs we've been having in May--but not complaining--at least it's trying to rain--more than it did last year.

I read about your latest book and thought you might enjoy "A Painted House" by John Grisham. It has NOTHING to do with any subject in all the rest of his books, but is about a young man in the '50's living on a farm. Reading it made my mouth water when they sat down to dinner with all those fresh tomatoes, etc. Brought back some memories for me, too. Farming is a good life, but often hard.

Another one is "A Thousand Acres" by Jane Smiley. I like these kind of books a lot. You may not, but they do have the farming theme pretty well described.

Sorry I'm so late thanking you for the Belt Goodie. I find I have a lot less time to Spark now that I'm not working. ;) Hoping you are staying healthy and have a great week.
