 Woah it has been a while but I have not stopped being concerned for my health and for others. I still watch what I eat and encourage others to do the same. Then I need to get more active. Since last summer, it has not been the best. Walking more has been my current goal. How about you? This is a photo of me and my girls. I feel a huge responsibility to make sure they know nutrition and lifestyle choices: benefits and consequences.  Click on my Health Living Resources and let's do 2023 right!

 Happy 10th anniversary to focusing on personal wellness while motivating and encouraging others to do the same. It has been the best journey ever. One of the best chapters of my life.  Has it been perfect? No. Have I succeeded? Absolutely. Is it over? No way. Those first years, I had the hashtag #letsdothis It personally helped me get up and get moving to do workouts. Whether it was twice a week, three times a week, or more, it was motivating. After reaching most of my health goals in 2 years, I found it challenging to maintain. So at the end of 2014, after a lot of research, observation, and consideration, I joined a greater community of people focusing on personal wellness, becoming a Beachbody Coach in 2015.  This was exactly what I needed for my long term maintenance, motivation, and community. Sure all these years later most of us have kind of dropped off "active coaching", but I can tell you I'm still a coach, loving the discounts, and even more loving the communit...

  Please share your journey plan and goals below. Even though I've been on my journey for close to 10 years, it's still hard to put myself out there but feel I need to to really stay accountable. I decided to weigh in every Sunday. I weighed in August 1st after 4 weeks traveling stateside. Where I knowingly ate anything. Horrible choices and insane quantity. Haven't done it in a while because I knew the consequences. You can see the 12 lb game from my last weigh-in. Goal... Every two weeks shooting for 5 lb lost. Until I get closer to 200. I know we shouldn't do so much so fast. When I lost 100 lb, I would lose one a month and celebrate like crazy once I got to One-derland. It was awesome to keep it off for 5 to 6 years. But I haven't weighed what I weigh now since 2013 after losing around 60 lb. (In 2011 after baby number four I was close to 300 lb). Fat and happy. Plan... ("Water S.E.E.D.S." to grow healthy.) Water, drink half my weight in ounces per day...

  This have been a theme of mine before! I am adjusting but still focused on health, wellness, and living my days as best as I can! Weekly I check in with a group I am NOT hosting! This is a wonderful Change for me!  So far I am averaging a pound lost a week and I need that knowing how much I let it go during the Pandemic of 2020!  So I am still a Team Beachbody Coach. I still drink daily shakes. Workouts are on my time, my way but it's still BOD!  What's your choices for you this year? Get focused, stay focused and DO IT!

HELLO!  It has been a crazy year but ALL GOOD! I sure hope you can say that for yourself!

 Gobble Gobble! Since it's 2020, we decided to do well and splurge! The kids got homemade mac and cheese - a former staple in our house. What did you eat?

  It has been about 3 weeks of training. I have accepted a position to teach a high school elective. There are others that are teaching the core classes and have a much Fuller load than I do. I also work in the administration building for the schools Communications and publications. I'm greatly overjoyed with the assignment. This journey just started and it's been interesting to see the patterns. At first I don't know anything, then I learned a ton and get overwhelmed. Before I know it, a day or two will pass and I will finally pick out the parts I really need to know. It is learning this portion control of information that has been key to my successful beginnings of the school year. When I don't know things, I take big of bites that are too big. so now when I don't know something, I let it all get served on a plate, and then I feel like it's a buffet. I will pick and choose the parts that I know in need. I appreciate your prayers in this addition to my awesome ...
