* This is my first 5% Challenge and my first participation in a Group.
* For fun I enjoy board games, NY Times games, reading, browsing, walking, family time with husband, children, and grandchildren and visiting with friends. I enjoy the ocean and the mountains.
* I live in Portland, Oregon but am in the process of moving to Forest Grove, Oregon.
*My health/fitness goals for this season is consistency - to strengthen habits that will allow me to to reach and maintain a weight that will make my liver happy.
* Just about anyone would describe me as quiet, helpful, progressive Christian and a numbers nerd.
* My favorite TV program (early 1950s) was "Mr. Wizard". My favorite radio program now is '"Wait, Wait, don't tell me".
* Before I had kids I was much more adventuresome - climbed mountains and tried parachuting and river running with friends.
