Introduction Text Marine Mom: I may look harmless, but I raised a Marine. 1/4/2020. Crazy how fast time goes by! No matter what! I am still healing from my broken fingers and sprained wrist from my car accident in late October. I am working on regaining my strength. But it is getting better daily. Thank you GOD. I will return to work on Tuesday! Yay...but yes I find myself a bit nervous as well. I know God has it! My plan is to regain the strength I have lost in my left hand/arm. My weight is 125.2....pretty happy here I am using my fitness pal app for logging my food...I find it easier to use. I also find I earn far less calorie burn per workout 🏋️‍♀️ compared to here at spark. Just works for me:). These past couple of months have helped me to see all that I am blessed with and what is truly most important. God, my family, and true friends 👫. My spark family is such a true blessing to me! Thank you al, for your constant support and encouragement. Here’s to a great 2020! This year I will turn 54...and I am welcoming it;). Everyday is such a true blessing! Together we will reach and exceed our goals ;) smiles..... 7/24/2019. I just started p90x3 on the 22nd it’s going well. The scale crept up a bit as I have not been diligent about my food intake. Back to counting calories. Aiming to be between 1200-1400 day. Been at it a week and going well. The scale showed a bit of a loss this morning. Say yay! Yes. I am one of those that weighs in daily ;). It aggravates me too ;). But it helps me to stay focused on my goal I’d like to get to 125-126 pounds by Halloween. I am just over 134 now. I want to get stronger and lose some fat. In addition to p90x3 I am swimming, rebounding, using a weighted hula hoop,and walking . I also IF. Eating only during the hours of 11-7. 1/3/2019. Starting the year out at 131;). Didn’t gain during the holiday craze. That’s HUGE! Even kept losing weight, just not at a pound a week...more like an ounce here and there;). But still a win. I am working out hard with chalene extreme. I love these workouts and increasing the weight as I gain strength. I have been dropping inches...waist and thighs the most;) clothes fit better. My goals thru June are to gain strength and drop a few more pounds...like to see 125 Then I will go from there. 11/10/2018. Hi all. ;). I have been working hard with the shift shop program and recently added chalene extreme to the mix. I am loving using the weights and gaining some muscle. I have lost 6.6 pounds and am trying to stay focused on dropping a pound a week thru the rest of 2018. This is a hard time of the year...normally gain...but not this year. ;). Work has been stressful this year. So trying to stay positive;) 7/22/2015... I have 11 months before I turn 50 years young. I plan to be 10 pounds less and more tone....using an acronym for my fitness mission statement... 1/2/16.
