Life Doesn't End With 50!

It's already the end of December, and I'm having a difficult time believing so!  It's been an eventful month, visiting sites, going to see family and sharing with friends.  I'm so blessed and fortunate to be able to do all I do!  The holidays are the most difficult times to remain faithful to any diet.  BUT, let me tell ya, if you've been eating clean, and go off it for a minute, you will certainly know it!  I'm doing the best I can to exercise, and get through the co...

Trying to stay motivated this month is going to be a challenge.  My birthday is just a few days away, my anniversary, a trip to Rock Eagle for my daughter's 4-h competition... and then There is Thanksgiving.  Before I forget, I wanted to post a before and after picture of myself...

October!

I wonder sometimes what's wrong... where do I need to make improvements to reach my goals. I don't know what to do about all this lose skin, and cannot afford surgery at the moment (It'll come). I read (somewhere) that it's best to wait 2 years after reaching your goal weight before seeking surgical methods to tighten loose skin. You didn't gain the weight over night, and you certainly aren't going to tighten and tone everything over night. I gav...

September - Where'd the last two months go?

OK... OK... ENOUGH ALREADY! I'm loving the past 2 months of my OXYGEN magazine! I especially love the article on shaping biceps! The air is beginning to cool, and my children are playing in the yard! They keep bringing me beautiful, yellow dandelions, and I'm using the dandelions as book markers when I come across information I want to utilize. "Sneeze" Sweet! I'm seriously thinking of doing the "Eat Clean...

JUNE 2010

My oldest daughter turned 9 over the weekend! I cannot believe it! What a beautiful young preteen I have. The weekend was a mess, I didn't run like I should, and ate everything available in the house. No... no... I'm not beating myself up over the ordeal! I'm just going to get back on the wagon and try harder from here on out! We went to the lake Saturday, for my oldest daughter's birthday. As I slipped into my suit, I knew "I" had not "arrived"...

I can actually see collar bone, and WHAT... I have a neck! Cool! YEPPERS!! I'm sweatin' like a pig! I'd just got done with a workout and run! You want full body pictures! OK...OK... They're coming in JUNE! I will post before and after side by side so you can see the change! Thanks for supporting me Ya'll!

MAY 2010

Saturday, my family and I went to a strawberry patch (Washington Farms...somewhere near Athens, GA) and picked two buckets full of fresh, huge, sweet strawberries! YUM. We almost ate a complete bucket before reaching our home (an hour away). They were so delicious, sweetened naturally, and GUILT free! My husband took video of me picking berries, and standing around watching the childre...

APRIL 2010

I've posted pictures of what I look like this month in the Pictures of My Contributors section. I need a professional photographer to show my true beauty (laugh).... or hide all the flaws. Last month seemed like a sure bust! I ran, and ran... lifted weights, watched what I ate... and NOTHING seemed to push me forward. Pictures tell a good tale, but measurements te...

2009 May - October 2009

:DIn May 2009, the elementary school, 2 miles from my house, opened it's new track with outdoor exercise equipment. I immediately took advantage of this opportunity to improve my health. I've always enjoyed running, and found it to be an easy way to shed the pounds.

My first day out, I ran over a mile! I was excited. The first few laps around the track, I could hear people clapping with every step I took. It encouraged me to ...
