Black & Decker Juicier

I am so excited about getting healthy this year. I will be 40 in November and want to loose weight before then. Perry and I decided to start juicing. We found a good one at WM last night for $25. Then I bought a bag of oranges, apples and some other fruit to try. I plan on making my Sunday morning breakfast today with fresh squeezed juice, it will be lovely. I will take pictures and re-post later about how it went. I am most excited about carrot juice, yum.

12 days of Bootcamp done!

I turn 40 this year and I am determined to look HOT for my party in November. I have joined the Bootcamp team on www.sparkpeople.com and have exercised everyday this year so far. These are 10 minute videos but I usually do more than one. This is an awesome FREE website that lets you track everything, from calories in to calories out. I have lost 20 pounds so far in 2 years and I have 30 or more to go. Wish me luck!

My Hero!

This is an excellent picture of Gammie & Kati, my middle child. Gammie is an angel sent directly from heaven. She is my Hero! She is a Christian woman, married for over 60 years and has one son, my Dad. She has always been a positive, skinny, happy, healthy role model in my life. Even my teenage daughters straighten up when I say I will tell Gammie. Not that Gammie will do anything but give the disappointed LOOK and that is the worst. She has always managed to work full-time and keep the cleanest house on the block, hmmm this is the mystery. Gammie you should blog on keeping a clean house, for real. I have heard that happiness is self-discipline and I am begining to realize what that means. Don't tell Gammie I told ya'll but she is 80 years young here, WOW betcha couldn't tell huh. I love you Gammie you are my HERO!!!

Happy Birthday Delylah!

Happy Birthday Delylah Nycole!! My sweet Granddaughter is one year old and a gift from God. She is now walking and saying words, both in Spanish and English. I am so proud to be her GrandLady! Thank you God for so many blessings!

November 6-12-14

November has been a great month!! I turned 39 on Nov. 6 and my Gammie turned 80 on Nov. 12 my Ma's (a God sent step-Mom) birthday was Nov. 14. We got to have one BIG party for the three of us. I feel honored to celebrate my birthday with my favorite women. We have the best family that celebrated with us. We had 3 different cakes each our favorite and went to eat at Olive Garden. Thank you God for so many blessings in my life!

I love Halloween!

I made it thru the month of September, woo hoo. All three of my kids had birthdays 2 weeks apart. I now have a 7, 16 and 18 year old. We got our 7 year old Seth a remote control wheelie motorcycle. We got our 16 year old Kati a cheap car, she has to pay the insurance. We got our 18 year old Tori a laptop to help with college. Whew! What an expensive month! Thank you God for all my many blessings! I am very grateful!
