18 Dec 2012Our trip to Disney World!We finally got around to taking a trip to Disney World after living down here in {image}4472|right{image}Georgia for over 3 years. I had previously been to all the parks during Thanksgiving week around 1990 with my mom, so it seemed fitting that Kelley and I would also go during Thanksgiving week. W

The Marine Mud Challenge is a 5 mile race with around 20 obstacles interspersed throughout. We asked around the shop for people to join {image}4217|right{image}us

7 Aug 2010We Win!My wonderful mother called me this afternoon and told me the 2009 Rose Bowl was airing on the Big Ten Network. She wanted to give me an opportunity to watch the Buckeyes beat Oregon one more time. I enjoyed the game. I found myself cheering when we scored as if I was watching the game live. I found

There are five necessary things in life I heard someone say: food,

I am evaluating my life and taking out things that do nothing but suck precious time away. Life is too short and we must use it to the fullest. I am so happy and

I just found out there is a store that only sells items that go along with this plan just 20 minutes from my house. This place has a cafe and everything. I am so excited to try new hea

He had been plagued with medical problems for almost as long as I had known him, but somehow he always managed to stay positive and upbeat. So much so that I doubt many people he came ac

She is all about concrete goals and self improvement. So, this blog entry should please her because I am laying out some of my goals for the rest of the year.
- 28 Mar 2010I am back n' better than ever!!!I recently had heart surgery to repair a hole that was never healed up when I was a baby. It has certainly slowed down my exercise and normal activity for that matter. I am glad to share that I am now getting better. I am back to exercising daily. Because I am not allowed to run until the end of Apr

I started working out with Jillian Michaels Slimdown Program and am now almost to my goal weight. The last time I weighed in at this amount was May 30th. That was back when I was living by myself and taking care of the house b

In the past three months you have lost 6.2lbs which equals, on average, 2.1lbs per month. If you can keep losing weight at this rate, you can reach your goal weight by February 2010.
It is so encouraging that the month listed whe

Times get hard and you need to have someone encourage you to not quit. You don't gain anything by starting or quitting only if you finish your goal. I am determined in life to never give u

She is a professional trainer from the Biggest Loser. ( I started watching that show this season. I enjoy it. I find it motivating and inspirational let alone being informative.)
