Tsuchiura, JP

Originally from Winnipeg, Canada, I moved to Japan in 2001 and have lived here ever since. I'm happily married and we have a cat and a dog that are like family to us. I'm a cervical cancer survivor - January 2012 marks 5 years cancer free!

 

More About Me

My hobbies/interests are
Reading, puzzles, singing, hiking, travelling.

One secret that helps me to stay healthy is
I try to avoid strict diets because they tend to backfire on me.

My wellness goals are
I need to lose weight, gain strength and energy, and improve my cardio-vascular health. I'm also working on overcoming depression.

I see myself achieving my wellness goals by
I tend to buck against the feeling that I have to do something, even if it's something I enjoy doing. So I need to create a low-pressure plan that I will want to continue. I think that starts with re-making my mind-body connection which has been well out of sync since my diagnosis of cancer over 5 years ago. I hope that will lead to more energy, which will lead to more desire and ability to stay active.

My inspirations are
My husband, who loves me for who I am.
