Well, I did it! Passed the 100 pound mark last week. It was funny because after all the wondering about how I would feel it was pretty normal, not emotional as I feared.  I thought it was still a few days away so I wasn’t really ready and as I stepped on the scale I […]

I’m thankful for going through detox….. there I said it.   Yes… I’m thankful for it!  Having gone through it, yet again, I have learned another valuable lesson.  I’m not perfect, and I thank god I’m not.  Trying to write this with a fuzzy brain, and so many things swirling around in my head, makes […]

Do you remember passing the Kleenex box when Renee Zellweger said her famous words to Tom Cruise in Jerry McQuire? “YOU COMPLETE ME”.  Although quite romantic in the movie, did we ever think about the real meaning of those words?  Relying on someone else to complete……US?  What if we couldn’t change or fix someone to be our fairy […]

As a Former Cardio Queen and over zealous group exercise class participant,  I feel it necessary to retire my crown and share my research of what DOES and what does NOT work without muscle recovery and too much stress on the body.   My 200 pound body took one for the team did the work AND rest to learn about […]

I got my hair cut super short today! I’ve worked out with my friends on the beach the past two weekends! I wore a dress to work last week! I jog up hills during my cardio training! I wear tank tops without a cover up shirt! I go to yoga every Wednesday! These days I […]

Overall July was a normal month with the exception of Fourth of July week. We got together with Peggi (also GT) and her husband and took our boats for a trip up the lake.  I’ve included a picture of our boats while we were docked in Port Washington WI.  I know many struggle with travel […]

“I Was Fed Up!”

As a 5’7” fifty-two year old woman, I was fed up with my overall appearance, lack of fitness, and self care. I’d gradually added 3-4 pounds each year and done nothing about it. One day I hit 153 pounds, which was only 9 pounds shy of my weight when I delivered my son… My varicose […]
