Rude Awakening!

Well....I have just signed up for a personal trainer at Goodlife and so far so good! Today was my 2nd session with him and I think he is more excited than I am about my weight loss goals...so that is a good sign :-)

What is not so good....he weighed me on this funky little scale thingy that gives you print out of the results. I am REALLY hoping that, at least by the end of this month, these numbers change! This is what the little piece of paper told me.

Weight: 230.6 (Down from 254 at my highest so not "too" bad)
BMI: 36.1 (Ugh)
Fat% 49.4% (OUCH!)

Well body.....basically 1/2 of you is fat....this means WAR!

Totally Amazing and Wonderful News Today!!!

So, this has nothing to do with weight loss or excersise or anything like that but I just HAD to share this news with the WORLD!

Today I found out that the adoption has been finalized for sweet little Aurorah and now she is going to be in or family to stay! I fell in love with her the day I saw her and knew that she was meant to be part of our family. Life would just not be that same without her in it and I know she is meant to be right where she is...with us!

My Sister and Brother-in-law are the most amazing, loving, caring and giving people and they deserve only good things to happen! Aurorah is right where she belongs and I am SO excited to say I have her as a perminant niece. Aunite Lisa loves you So much!

<3 I love my family and am so thankful to God for all the wonderful things he has brought forward <3

Biggest Loser Home Challenge

Well, here we are in 2012 and I'm certain I am not the only person vowing to "get in shape and lose weight" this year! In fact....I know I am not the only one. Welcome to the Biggest Loser Home Challenge that myself and a few family members are involved in.

How it Works:

Every member pays $20.00 to participate in this 3-month challenge. We all provide our starting weight and, at the end of each week, we all tell what our pounds or percentage lost was. At the end of the 3 months whoever has the highest overal percentage lost will be the Biggest Loser Home Challenge winner and will receive the all the money. For me....losing the weight I have set for myself to lose is the ultimate prize...the money is just a bonus!


Each week I will be posting my pounds and percentage lost (or gained if that so shall happen) so that you can all follow along and share in my success or encourage me in the times I may have "fallen off the wagon". We are only human and I accept the fact that I will falter from time-to-time, but, I must remind myself of this and use my downfalls as a way to push myself harder to keep going!

I will also share healthy recipes and tips with you all and encourage my followers to do the same. Please, if you have a healthy meal that you just HAVE TO share....then please do so! Any motivation and guidance to myself, and others, will be welcomed with open arms.

Thank you all in advance for following me, pushing me to achieve my goals and for being my "silent conscience".
