May 2012 May 2011 "Are you losing weight?" "You are starting to look to thin?" "How did you do it?" The secret is out: I must finally admit, I HAVE spent the last year transforming my body. Now, I am ready to share with our readers some of the methods I've used to achieve my goal. The disclaimer: I do NOT claim to be any type of nutritionist or doctor. I am only sharing small changes that have helped me. Everyone's body is different. 1. Shock your body I love to exercise. I grew up in the age of leg warmers, Richard Simmons and exercise videos. I spent years taking step aerobics. Running (specifically training for my half marathon last November) has been a way for me to shock my body into a new way of exercising. Your body will plateau if you exercise the same way and with the same intensity year after year. 2. Eat foods that decay I commit to eat a raw...
It's Fun Friday and I'm sharing some great workout tips. Fortunately I've never struggled with working out (it's the good eating that always throws me for a loop). I've always enjoyed going to the gym. So you can imagine when I moved to my rural community I was stressed with the fact that there wasn't a gym nearby.

The light posts in my neighborhood provide a great way to walk & run in equal distance from the back to the front of the subdivision. I will normally walk, jog, or sprint in intervals between each light post...
I don't care how much you may try to avoid a tragedy, it might just find you. Few of us go through life without experiencing some type of tragic event or loss. It comes out of nowhere. It's never expected. It has a way of finding you whether you open the door, answer the phone or say hello to it. Recently I returned home from a 10 day vacation. Our family time away started in West Palm Beach with us cheering on our youngest in his rookie baseball state tournament. We were on such a high because the boys dominated and won their district championship that allowed them to advance to the state competition. Unfortunately our state appearance ended quickly. Oh well. Despite the sweltering heat and game losses, we had a blast! Accidental country girls! We then traveled from the Palm Beach area to our yearly vacation with my sister and her family. Just two hours north we would find the wide open fields of ranch living. Beaches, city lights, and a vibrant night life gave...
