School has started for just about everyone at this time. We have moved our exercise time back to 6:30 am to help the Moms who have kidlets to get up. It has been a bit of a change for me but 6 am is very peaceful at this house. Most days Larry has headed off to work and I can get up take my O2 gold and mix up a rehydrate and spark and head into town. We are still working on DVD 2 and I wish there was a DVD 3 coming out soon. I feel I need to be doing more now. So I have looked into joining the Y at Wellman. They have some nice weight machines and I feel the need to tone as I am shrinking and melting. (LOVE IT) So for something new to be thrown in the mix is great. We change and evolve as we grow and learn. Hopefully you have not given up on growing and learning. I find I need to be busy. Busy in my business and busy in my life and busy with my church. I do not want to sit on the couch and watch life pass me by. I don't want to work my life away either. So for 2 years I will put my head down with the single objective to help my friends and their friends find hope and health in 2013 and beyond. Do you want to be on this list to be free? Get a hold of me and lets talk.

Had a great exercise time this morning at the office. There was 5 of us in there and it was a tight fit. I think we could have squeezed in 1 more if we had someone else to join us. I could go back and do the 2 different times if this would be a reason for anyone to come join us. I really want others to come join. It helps me and motivates me. I will do the Can you 24 DVD all day long if it will get someone else to start getting fit. We have been exercising at the office since June I think and it has gone well. Brandon (my son in law) announced yesterday he was going to start a men's exercise time. Monday Wednesday and Fridays at 5:30 PM I think. So things are starting to change at Wellman. If you exercised with us at the house please feel free to come back and join us again. There is no cost to you. We just want you to get fit and healthy. So know we are still here and still 24in it. Call me or text me 515-451-6276.

SO I am wondering how people are doing out there? Are you still just sitting back watching me, waiting for me to give up? Those who know me personally may be thinking " she never completed anything ever before" " I am sure she is going to fail" "why does she even bother?" Why not think " wow I am glad to see her sticking to her guns" "she sure is looking good" " How does she do that?" 

Folks if you think this is easy for me think again. I am the same as you. I have times when I just want a big bowl of ice cream. Or maybe just sit and watch another episode of GH. I have made a commitment to myself , my husband, my family and friends that I m going to do this. What ever that may entail. I was told  awhile ago that I am getting better at following through. I asked him what he meant by that but he never told me. So I have made it a point since that day to make sure I follow through on all I say I will do. If I say I will be in at the office to exercise at 7:00 I am there. Do I want to get up and do that all the time? NO! But each day I work out and have my friends there to cheer me on then I am going to keep showing up. No one said life would be easy. Many choose to sit on the couch and do nothing and get up and do their J O B. I am busy all the time. A body at rest tends to stay at rest. A body in motion stays in motion. I had too many years of not moving that now I get to play catch up and keep my body fit. So a big shout out to my exercise partners. If you meet me at the office or if you are doing the Can you 24 DVD still at your house. I want you guys to know that I am still here and will be around until God calls me home. 

To those of you reading this and wondering if you can do what I am doing.....YES YOU CAN! Please give me a call and lets talk. I want people to be able to get fit with friends. I tried to start a 24 day challenge but it fell flat. Too busy? Too expensive? What ever the excuse you can take the time now and pay for good health and wellness now or wait and pay it to the hospital and nursing homes later. Take charge of your life and get in the game. My companies motto is "We build champions" Thanks to Advocare I am now a champion. I am sure I have some friends out there that want to become fit and be a champion too. Call me, text me, just do something friends, before another day, week or month has gone by. Build your temple and keep it clean and strong.

Ok I hit the magic number of doing this for 200 days. Over half of 2013 I have been working out to make myself feel better and look better. Have I done that? I feel so much better it is crazy. More energy and muscles I can see in my arms. Strength I never had before. Holding planks for 30 seconds or longer with a leg raised and look good doing it. ( not all hunched up or belly hanging down) I am talking set a cup of coffee on my back because it looks like a great flat spot to sit it. That may mean nothing to some of you reading this but to me its a big thing. It takes some work to do that and I see it paying off in my life. I have friends that join me 3 days a week to do the Can you 24 DVD which is what my plan was all along. I want to help my friends become fit and fab. So what excuses are you using today. I saw a great quote that said (I am going to paraphrase here) Using the terms " I am to busy" as an adult is like a young person saying " the dog ate my homework". The real question is you can't or you wont. Either is a choice. I can't because I have a cast on my foot. That is an OK excuse. Valid and true. I wont because I am to busy. Just say out loud that you really don't care about your body or your health. This DVD is 24 minutes. People waste more time looking at the dollar menu in a week than the actual time it would take to work out. 24 minutes is less time than waiting for a pizza delivery guy. 24 minutes is sometimes how long it takes to check out at Walmart  SO either you can't or you wont. I want people to exercise with me. I want people to become healthier for their families and the great life that they want to lead. Wouldn't it be better if you could keep up with them now? Your 24 hours is the same as mine. Find 24 minutes 3 times a week to rebuild your temple. God wants our temple in great shape for his glory. I don't do this for my own glory but to glorify what God has done to and for me in my heart.
