- On my Team page I will record my daily exercise and Living the Good Life Point
- Saturdays I will weigh in and record it.
- I will check in with my team and leave comments on the Discussion Board as I have time.
- I will read and comment on blogs as I have time.

There I was...
- December, 2006 - I joined Sparkpeople
- October 31, 2011 I started eating a "Gluten-Free" and "Sugar-Free" Diet to help combat some of my health issues.
- November 27 and 28, 2011 I watched The "Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead" Documentary, which inspired me to do a 60 Day Juice Fast, where I drank only water and JUICE that I made using an Omega 8006 Masticating Juicer and a 2-Ton Juice Press to extract as much of the FRESH JUICE as possible.
I dropped a total of 52 pounds between the GF & SF Diet and the Juice Fast.
- April 20, 2012 my "world was rocked" when I was given 41 days notice that I had to move...
- I gained BACK 13 pounds from not eating enough calories and the {{{{STRESS}}} = "Survival Mode" kicked in!
- July 20, 2012 I got the keys to my new home, 3 months to the day from when I found out I needed to move...
- August 13, 2012 I started a 40 Day Juice Fast, hoping to "Reboot" my body & Get my BP down!
I dropped 27 pounds and got down to size 8!
- 7 Novermber, 2012 I started a 10 Day Juice Fast, hoping to "Reboot" my body- hoping to get a grip on what foods I can reintroduce to my "Diet", that won't cause horrible PAIN in my gut.
- 1 January, 2013 I started a "Grain-Free" Diet
- 23 Febuary I started the "Specific Carbohydrate Diet and the "Winter into Spring 5% Challenge"

I am determined to get my hormones and gut to act right.
My new motto: "Nothing TASTES as good as healthy FEELS"
You can quote me on that!

March my husband and I will celebrate 17 years of marriage and 20 years of "being together."
Established on 16 March, 1996.
October 2011 I turned 50. Half a CENTURY!
This past October, in honor of my 27th move, I turned Thirty-Nine, Ninety-Five, PLUS Shipping & handling. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!

I have 5 children, ages 29, 24, 15, 13 and 11.
Two of which I brought into my marriage.
All 5 were born by Cesarian Section, OUCH!!!

This year is the 18th year that I have been educating my children at home. Home schooling is a way of life that I wouldn't trade for all the money in the world. There are days when I might PAY someone to trade places with me though!
My oldest daughter and son-in-law have blessed me with 4 grandchildren, with another one on the way in July!

I have moved 27 times in my life that I can recall. There could have been more moves? My husband and I recently bought a home 20 miles south of the Tennessee River, South of Huntsville, AlaBAMA.
I have liked every place that we have lived.
The fact of the matter is,
"This world is not my home. I'm only passing through!"

"I can do all things through Christ WHO gives me STRENGTH!"

"All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed.
Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident." -

“Whatever weakens your reason, impairs the tenderness of your conscience, obscures your sense of God, or takes off the relish of spiritual things; in short, whatever increases the strength and authority of your body over your mind, that thing is sin to you, however innocent it may be in itself.”

Hi Canice,

Wishing you a great weekend, you are doing a great job, keep up the great work, thanks so much for all your help and support, your friendship is so appreciated...

Hope you enjoy the following poem.. God's Blessings.. emoticon

Friendship Duet

We meet new people every day;
Why we like some, who can say?
Maybe it's because they think like us;
It might be because they seldom fuss.

It's hard to know why closeness grows;
We like some better; that's how it goes.
I think you're special; I’m glad we met;
Let's keep having fun in our friendship duet.
