Challenge groups

Tomorrow is the start of my first challenge group! I am so excited to share a sneak peek into the fantastic community I have become a part of. I had 15 people join, which I think is a good number considering I opened up 20 spots and there is still to the end of the day.

A challenge group is really what kept me motivated while doing workouts at home and they still do. Seeing everyone encouraging each other and posting their own struggles and achievements. Giving pointers, tips and new ideas. Being able to have a place to go when the people in real life judge your journey or make comments (unfortunately that will happen).

And when that does happen, brush aside those negative comments and remember why you have decided to take this journey, FOR YOU! To make your life better, to be a better person, to encourage your family, to just be a better you all around. Because that's what's going to happen.

And if anyone wants join me on this journey (along with a whole bunch of other driven people) I will have a new challenge group every month!

Hello September

I can't believe it's September! So close to Fall. This time of year is one of my favorites. Of course, Fall in South Texas is not the Fall I am used to being from the Midwest. Football isn't the same if you're not freezing your buns off in the stands, holding a cup of hot cocoa just try stay warm. It reminds me of marching band practice and the fall festival in my hometown. Funnel cakes and potato gunfights. Freshly pulled taffy and the Ferris wheel that was always scary but the best view in town. And who can have the Fall without the beautiful changing leaves! My goal this year is to make it up to North Texas where I hear the leaves do change colors. And call me crazy, but I think this will be the first year I really jump on the pumpkin spice train. I like pumpkin but never really understood the whole craze around the pumpkin spice. But I made me some pumpkin pancakes the other day and I was definitely craving more after they were go...

Choices

Life is a sequence of c hoices . We get to choose if we want to get up out of bed in the morning, go to work, how we get to work, what we are going to do when we get there. Be productive, scroll Facebook, look at pictures on Instagram. Maybe you're going to talk to your desk neighbor for a bit before you dive into a stack of paperwork. We get to choose . Even though it doesn't seem like a choice , we all have to make money right? But it is. We could be a bum. We could be homeless. Of course, nobody really lets it get that far. I mean yes, there are homeless people. And people that are in really bad circumstances. But I believe we have all been through trying times, poor conditions, and terrible circumstances. And it's all about how we choose for it to affect us. Are we going to lie down and let that truck run us over? Or are we going to get moving and move out of the darn way? I think that the majori...

March of Dimes

Here are a couple of pictures from the walk on April 19, 2009 that I've been meaning to post. I absent mindedly left my camera at home that day...my husband took some pictures of the poster we made in memory of Darcy and the memory mile sign on his phone. I will try to get those posted sometime in the near future.

The little time we have...
