Excercising in Korea

The first week we climbed a small mountain within the city limits.The temperature was 7 degrees Farenheit. At rest stops, the government had provided some very efficient equipment that utilizes a persons' body weight as resistance. There were several different types to choose from to get complete workouts. Very cool stuff!
The second week, I used the equipment provided in the city parks everyday. Each workout had multiple resistance type equipment to choose from. After that, I used a huge flat rock in the park to do  step cardio routine for 20 minutes.
Saturday night before returning to the States, Gabe took me to a jazz club called The Groove where I was invited to sing and also enjoyed hearing my son perform two fabulous solos. I am sooo proud.

here is an interview that was shot last week on friday...my son on Korean TV:

Baby Noah February 2012 Korea


My visit to Korea was so amazing. Lots of wonderful experiences, but most of all, getting to know the little man, Noah Lee Fife. Here he is in his friends' Chinese clothes. Noah is half Korean but he has a lot of folks in his life from America and China too. He likes to experiment with other cultures !
We love you , Noah!

lost 20 lbs. in six months!

                                                                 
 



                                                            BEFORE.....below 156 lbs.

At  156 lbs.
For the past 6 months I have worked really hard to get into a shape that I remembered from 10 years ago. My weight got up to 156 lbs. and all my clothes were not fitting and I have some nice stuff from my years at Saks Fifth Avenue. Through the helpful hints of the owner of The Gym in Forest Grove, Oregon I have achieved great success and have posted this picture to inspire others and motivate myself to maintain a more healthier lifestyle.
