Diana’s Fit Club Diary – Entry 7
Day two had me walking/jogging for 20 minutes around the neighborhood. It felt pretty good really but man I am out of shape. It was a couple of minutes jog then a few minutes walk, repeat.

Now, just to clarify, my house is not a pig pen but it could be kept better. I tend to wait till the counter is full to do the … Continue reading Changing Habits (not the nun type)
Eww Raw Fish!
When friends and family heard we were going to live in Japan for 3 years I had a mixture of reactions. Most were super excited and some said they would make the trip to come visit.
