Setback???

So Sunday really through a wrench in my plans! I was having an awesome day running errands... Getting stuff for Tim to start his challenge! Around 1, I started having severe abdominal pain... At first I thought I needed to eat!! I ate a chicken Cesar salad!! The pain became worse... So I thought... Trapped gas?? Tried a heating pad, warm bath and massage!! The pain continued to get worse! Off to the ER.... Appendicitis and a hernia!!! What???? You have got to be kidding me!! I have had so many abdominal surgeries... How can something else be wrong??? I am the healthiest I have ever been... Why now???

I could sit and wallow in self-pity as my activity level is destroyed! I can't do what I want to do to promote. I am frustrated about a planned trip to LA... Feeling down... I could sit and let the depression over take me!!!

However.... I choose to breakthrough!! I have a God who is stronger than all my problems!! I have friends who love me!! I have a very supportive husband!!

This will not be a setback!! Instead of breaking down...I choose to breakthrough!!!!

Running and promoting

I have set new goals for my 90 day challenge.... See my last blog. So I have been concentrating on running more and more! This is difficult as my mileage is increasing for my training for my Pikes Peak climb!!! But I am improving! Most of my workouts are 70% running!!!

I am really working hard at promoting the 90 day challenge. It has been such a blessing to me and obesity is such an epidemic. I get very sad when I think of all the time I wasted being morbidly obese! If you are reading this blog and need help losing weight or have other health problems....please contact me about the 90 day challenge!!

I am super excited that my hubby is getting ready to really commit to a 90 day challenge! He has been on the shakes for a while now...but had trouble working out! We decided to invest in some home exercise weights and other stuff to help him. We have even contacted my personal trainer... Toby Clayton @ Clayton Conditioning and she is going to design a plan for him! I will post his 90 day challenge goal when he is ready to go public!

Until next time...keep working towards your goals!!!

God bless you all!!!

New 90 day challenge.

I started a new 90 day challenge on Tuesday. I am wanting to drop an additional 30 pounds. But this time I am including a new fitness goal as well. I want to run 3 5 K races during this 90 day challenge. I have been increasing my running and have been feeling pretty good. I still cannot run without walking breaks -but it is getting better.

I have been focusing more on healthy eating - more fruits and veggies and making smarter choices with drinking more water, go,pro and vi-defy. I was pretty proud of my first running blister and hope there will be many many more.

I am still in training for my Pikes Peak hike - although it looks like I might be going it alone!

Tim is finally going to try and get his butt in shape. I know that with his injuries and the arthritis he has - this is a big deal.

Will update soon!!

Challenge

I promote a 90 day challenge

But not just to make money

I want people to feel as good as I do

I want people to find success in weight loss

Like I have

is it for everyone?

Yes!!!

Will everyone do it?

No!!!!!

as a person who was morbidly obese - now I am just fat....

No one will do it until they are ready....

Just like an addict won't stop using until they are ready....

Fat people will not get healthy until they are ready

Love them

share with them

Encourage them


Because when it is their time


They may have results like mine

And it will be worth it  for both of you!!!

Join the challenge Now!!!

Musings on 2012 - it has been an AMAZING Year!!!

2012 is almost over. we all tend to get reflective at this time - This has been an amazing year 

for me. There are things that have happened this year that I can't even believed happened. 

The first and biggest was the start of my health transformation. I lost an amazing 80 pounds 

and over 45 inches. I ran/walked a 5 K. I exercise every day now - usually at 4:45 in the 

morning. Here are pictures from the health transformation!

Then we started living life. I flew ion an airplane for the first time and was able to go on 2 

trips. One of my "LiveList" places has always been Washington DC - I went and had a blast!!

Then Tim and I traveled together for the fist time and went to Miami - It was his first plane

ride and my 2nd. It was the first time for both of us to see the ocean!!!

It was a good year!! Yes there were ups and down - but God has sustained us and we both 

have grown closer in our walk with God. We have met an amazing group of people who we 

call family and we love each and everyone of them!!

we saw the births of our 4th and 5th grandchildren - Zoey has gone to her forever family and we love her and her new family very very much!!!

And Justin came rolling into the world just in time to not have the same birthday as his big brother Steven!

Wow - looking back  - it was quite a year!!!! I can't wait to see what God has in store for 2013. I have a lot of goals and I have lots of plans!!! I have a wonderful family - including an amazing husband and best friend by my side.

I wish for each of you and amazing 2013!!! God Bless
