Introduction Text Hi, I'm Jean! I've struggled to lose weight most of my life. Though I've made quite a few lifestyle changes since joining Sparkpeople, and feel better than I have in some time, the weight is still slow to come off (though eating almost exclusively at home during the pandemic has helped). I'm persevering, though! I live in the San Francisco bay area with my wife Bonnie, and am adjusting to life in my 60s.

The big goal is to lose weight! Additionally, I aim to be more active in general, and work on increasing my cardio activity intensity, and increase my core and upper body muscle strength.

I'm trying to: follow SP calorie guidelines, limit saturated fat intake (I have slightly high cholesterol, which runs in my family), do 30 minutes of cardio a day, and strength training three times per week.

I'm a California girl - I was born here and have lived here nearly all my life. I live in the San Francisco bay area with my wife Bonnie (been together almost years), my housemate and friend Gesine, and a bunch of cats.

I love music! I used to play semi-professionally, but I don't play too often now after I developed carpal tunnel syndrome. Still love to listen. I have eclectic tastes, and listen to everything from jam bands to early music. There are few music genres I don't have at least some examples of on my phone. A few of my favorites artists are Lucinda Williams and the Grateful Dead - I went to more than 300 Dead shows when they were touring.
