Life Doesn't End With 50!

Look what God has done in me... 

Wow, sitting here thinking about the past, and how far I have come in my relationship with God.  I'm so thankful He has given me the health and energy to keep going when I need to, to exercise, and have enough money to buy healthy foods for myself and my family.  I am so thankful for all the resources available, and the tools needed to get there.

I'm still trudging... moving ... stumbling forward.  I will not fall down, I will n...

I've been walking RELIGIOUSLY with a good friend of mine.  Yesterday, I walked for more than an hour.  I enjoy walking, but walking alone is not touching those stubborn areas I'm desperately wanting to reduce.  Diet is 80% of it folks.  AND... I'm definitely NOT with the program.  I've been reading, thinking about but NOT doing.

I stay busy with busy work, my children's sports and everything else, I haven't taken the time to get started on my projects.  I w...

I don't know, haven't been keeping up with my blog entries as I had hoped.  I'm doing so many wonderful things this summer.  I don't even know where to start.  Spending a LOT of time with the kids fishing, swimming and sight seeing.  I am doing well on my eating, not over eating for sure.  

5-7 days a week I go walk or run.  I found a walking buddy, and sometimes I think it's more strenuous walking with her than it is running.  I've incorporated a cros...

Yes, it's been a few days.  I'm still getting up doing my run walk.  I haven't started the Cross Fit Exercise portion of my "plan" yet.  I don't feel as if I'm putting in 100%. I need to.  

It was a good weekend.  I got out of town and went with the family to play putt putt golf.  It was extremely hot.  This time of year, it's vital to stay hydrated.  The heat is one reason why I'm reluctant to do my weight/Cross Fit exercises.  I do them in ...

Feeling a little better about today... it's only 9:10 am and I've had my breakfast of champions, cooked my husband's lunch, and did my 20 minute run which was about 2 miles.  I need to add a mile.  Working on that!

So... I wanted to listen to Beth Moore while I was out running, but wasn't able to get it pulled up.  Next time I'll have it all figured out before I get out there.  As I pulled into the school parking lot, I noticed the lawn crew pulling in at the same ti...

I'm not going to lie, day three was a bust!  I didn't maintain a schedule, ran around like a chicken with her head cut off and didn't get any REAL thing accomplished.  I can't be running for the prize THIS WAY!  The only excuse I have is I woke up with a bit of a sore throat and congestion.  I felt "OK". 

I did manage to go help a friend get a few things done.  That's me, I'd rather be helping someone else accomplish their projects than trying to tackle the...

OK... Eating my breakfast of champs:  Steamed oatmeal, teaspoon of crunchy peanut butter and a teaspoon brown sugar.  This is my energy meal.  For the rest of the day I will be consuming proteins, natural fruits and vegetables.  NO ALCOHOL.  I am still drinking coffee.  One of my goals is to turn from the Coffee to Green Tea.  This Seven Weeks is going to be a process of cumulative effort.  Taking a slow entry adding or removing one stumbling block at a...

Good Morning!  It's approximately 7:30 am and I'm getting ready to begin my Seven Week Journey to being Cross Fit!  I'm dealing with mixed emotions.  The purpose of my journey is to become physically, emotionally, and spiritually fit.  The first thing I did this morning was prepare my breakfast.  I had a bowl of steamed old fashioned oats, tablespoon crunchy peanut butter, and a teaspoon of brown sugar; cup of coffee and water.

What am I reading?  I'm readi...

So... the doctor says I'm healthy.  I guess I have no more excuses.  This coming week will be my last week of work before beginning summer break.

I'm planning on taking all the pictures I can this week.  Not only of me, but of my home, my family and everything else here on earth of some significant value.  I'm researching, reading and dedicated to 'winning' this time... "WINNING".  

I will be blogging every (almost) day as I conclude a portion of my journe...
