My family

I love him for so many reasons... but most of all it's because he can make me laugh when I want to cry.

And those boys.... Well, they are heaven sent!!

We all should be grateful for the land we live in, and the men and women who

served and continue to serve our country.

He makes me proud to be his mother.

His smile melts my heart.

And those arms... nothing beats being all wrapped up in them.

I am blessed to have this family of mine.... I hope you are blessed with yours!

Week Three

This is WEEK 3 for me.

It seems so hard to keep up the motivation.

I watched week 17 of the Biggest Loser... and THAT, my friends,

Is MOTIVATION!!!

Giving up is NOT an option!!

My weight has remained the same, and I won't remeasure until the begining of week 5.

Pledge to Get Healthy... and

Don't. Give. Up.

A Simple Smile

Two weeks ago my husband was hit into a semi, which then proceeded to run over the right side of the R32.

After, what probably seemed like a lifetime for him, he decided he was going to purchase another R.

And to see him smile again...

Well, that's something no photo could capture.

You just had to be there.

Don't. Give. Up

Motivation

That's what I need. That's what I need to give you. That's what we need to give each other.

M.O.T.I.V.A.T.I.O.N.

What gives you the motivation to get up each day and commit to being healthy??

Today, I could have easily given up when doing AB RIPPER X...

But....

Instead I chose three little words that have become the center of my universe.

I pass them on to you..........

D.O.N.'T.  G.I.V.E.  U.P.

(PS... You know who you are that passed it on to me!!
 I thank you from the bottom of my heart! )

Weighted Walking

Yesterday I started walking with 2 lb hand weights/dumbbells. 

Believe it or not.... today I am a little sore.

I remember a day when I would giggle

at the speed walkers

 who would go zipping by

 carring their weights.

Now...

 I am one of those weight carrying fools.

And, you know what???

It Feels Great!!

Don't. Give. Up.

I'm a L.O.S.E.R.

One Week

Over 1500 Ab Ripper Situps

20 miles on the books

7 days of eating sensibly

And a LOT of help from Tony Horton and his team

What does that equal??

It equals me losing over 7.7 LBS AND 9 INCHES off my body!!

So, YES.............. I AM A L.O.S.E.R.  and I am proud to be one!!

Don't. Give. Up.
