Constant creative progress -not perfection
I'm here to improve my health by developing better eating and exercise habits with the encouragement & support of the Spark community, my friends and family. I'd also like to start reinserting more creativity back into my life as well (especially, music, dancing, and art).
-CONSTANT PROGRESS, NOT PERFECTION
My 2010 profile image was a drop of water. The motivating Latin phrase I've attached with the photo is:
"GUTTA CAVAT LAPIDEM, NON VI, SED SAEPE CADENDO" ...

My 2010 profile image was a drop of water. The motivating Latin phrase I've attached with the photo is:
"GUTTA CAVAT LAPIDEM, NON VI, SED SAEPE CADENDO"
which essentially means :
"THE DROP OF WATER HOLLOWS OUT THE STONE BY FREQUENT DROPPING, NOT BY FORCE; CONSTANT PERSISTENCE GAINS IN THE END."
These words inspired me to think about becoming a steady, constant drop of water in my own life, and the lives of my family and friends. Water can be so many things: refreshing, cleansing, energizing, powerful and basically the essence of life itself. Thanks for being a part of my journey.
- FINALLY GETTING STARTED, March 1, 2009 (270#)
When I first created my SparkPage, I thought I needed to post the clip of the little fat, sleeping gopher with the statement
"I WOULD BE UNSTOPPABLE. IF I COULD JUST GET STARTED."
So I got started with SparkPeople with long term goal of achieving a balanced healthy lifestyle. I weighed in at 270#, set a short term goal of 255# and long term goal of 125#. Well I reached my 1st short term weight goal of 255# on 5/28/09. Thanks to SparkGuy for conceiving this little gem and to all my "SparkPeeps" who have and will encourage me along the way.
Love Yah!
