Finally Fit!

After spending the majority of my first fifty years as an overweight couch potato, I decided to turn 50 at a healthy weight and get physically fit. That was four years ago and after losing 70 lbs., I am a slender, healthy, grandmother who loves to run and bike. I still struggle with food issues and wish I could say that it is easy to keep
the weight off but it takes daily effort. I'm here to further that effort and gain motivation from other people who can appreciate the struggle...

Hair and orange juice cans, huh? That is hilarious!! You made me chuckle this morning. I am very excited to be in the working world again and will definitely blog about it on Friday. My brother-in-law has his own watch repair shop and was in dire need of help at the counter and to answer phones. Business is so good he can't get any repairs done because of the amount of customers walking through the door. It really is low key and absolutely no stress. I used to work in sales and between the traveling and averaging 18-20 hours a day, this is a definite improvement. My life feels balanced now.

Did you get a lot of snow last night? My sis in Wisconsin said they received about 9 inches...I'm assuming it swept across your state as well.

Hope you have a great Wednesday Joanne~ emoticon

Hey fellow Iowan!
Glad to see you as a spark leader for us Iowans. I just got aquainted with the team and told Briarrose that I'd have to get with her and think up ideas!
Keep in touch!

I need some sunshine & flowers too! Good idea we have a home & garden show here too sometime in the near future. I am in Davenport... I'll need to get myself there! Have a wonderful week.
