Exciting Day At The Doctor!

I've been waiting on my bloodwork and .........drumroll........... my liver enzymes are normal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I cannot tell you how happy these results make me as it seems the normal has been years of highly elevated numbers.  Even my inflammation number has reduced.   Changing the entire way that I look at food and exercise is paying off!!  It is wonderful to have the mental and physical energy to make the change!

Getting With The Program

My 50th birthday came and went like the wind on February 19th.  My daughter, Shelby, and I had just got back from the Advocare Success School in Fort Worth and the day was pretty much uneventful.  I will say that the day before my birthday, she and I visited "The King's Home", Graceland.  Yep, I finally went to Graceland, and may I say that the Jungle Room was everything I had ever dreamed of.   You see, somehow I had never taken the opportunity to visit Graceland.  I believe it was meant for Shelby, who has the same birthday as Elvis,  and I to experience together.   Loved it!

Well, I got off track.   It was my 50th that brought me some realization that I needed to get my "house" in order.  My mind and my body needed a good kick in the butt.  It was Shelby that introduced me to Advocare which has now changed my life and has given me the opportunity to help others begin the change their lives.  I LOVE IT!!  The whole experience so far has been phenomenal!  And now, I have signed back up at the YMCA today, and am starting there tomorrow.    I can't thank Shelby enough for listening deep into her soul to not only help herself, but her sick and crazy mom!  

Let's Play Catch Up

Day 49 of my life change.  I'm 18 pounds down and I measure 20 inches smaller!!!   I can't believe how much better I feel.  I may have shared that I have some elevated numbers when it comes to my liver, but I don't think that I mentioned about the  horrible pain that I felt under my ribs where my liver is - -  well, that pain is gone!  Just gone!

My sweetie started his life-change 24 days ago, and he is 26 pounds down and measures 16.5 inches smaller.  I love that we are doing this together.  Heck, the whole family is doing this together - - I love it!!
Big Daddy and I met 32 years ago next month, and after 1 daughter, 1 son, 1 son-in-law, and 2 twin grandsons, we will be married 32 years in November.  He is so supportive and loving.  God really gave me someone special!    Here's a pic of Big Daddy and myself with our two precious grandsons.  This was made some time ago, and our smiles have only gotten broader and brighter as time has gone along.   My family gives me so much joy!!!
