Love you Forever is the all time best book ever.

Sad, funny, ridiculous and an absolute must have in any parents collection.

My baby girl who is now ten. And my other baby girl who is now 4.
When I was reading this book for the first time I had just given birth to my beautiful daughter Jade. I read it and I cried and cried and cried. I would sing her the song every night.
The thought of not having my little baby girl one day destroys me in an instant.
I never want to lose a child, and then it made me think, I am still that child and I never ever ever want to lose my mother either.

It is sort of funny, cause it is the most beautiful children's book out there, and now I buy a copy for everyone as soon as they have a baby.

But I called my mom one day and I read it to her, and of course I was crying because it made me sad ( I think I was a little hormonal maybe) but she stopped my tears and turned it to laughter when she replied with " Dont you think that woman borders psycho path? I mean really, how many mothers are going to climb through their sons window when he is a grown man with a family of his own?" And she was right... LOL
But it is a beautiful book, now I can read it to my youngest and I make it through without crying, but it is hard sometimes. Then I remember stalker mom. LOL And although I wont be climbing any ladders, I WILL BE the stalker mom, because I never want to lose my kids EVER.

Yeah!

My sister gave me the very best news ever! My uncle is coming around.
He has started to wake up and is some what recognizing things around him! Thank God!!

He is moving the left side, but not so much the right, but is trying.

He recognized his wife, and squeezed her hand, he looked around for my mom when she told him his sister was here.

Today that was the absolute best news ever!!

I dont pray, but I am now.

My uncle who at one time I thought hated kids, (but as I got older found out he didnt) is laying in a hospital fighting for his life.
Still unconscious and no one can tells us what is going to happen.

The stroke he had was BIG one. Had he not been stubborn he would have gone to the hospital much much sooner, but he is him and he didnt go. I sooo wish he would have gone and I wouldnt be sitting here worrying about what will happen to my moms little brother. His wife would not be worrying if he will be alive or paralyzed or back to himself.

I wouldnt be wondering if he is laying there wishing for it to end...

So I am praying, and I ask you all to pray also, please pray that he will wake up and remember who he is and who we are. Please pray he will still have quality of life. Please pray that he will heal and rehabilitate.

pplease I beg you, pray that my uncle comes back to us.

Reasons to get healthy I guess... sad day.

I am deeply saddened today by the news that my uncle had a stroke. THey removed a blood clot from his brain and he is still unconscious. I hope to goodness that he pulls through no damage.

He had a stroke about a year ago and broke his leg. He has been on blood thinners ever since, which is why it is so terrible to think he had a clot in the first place...

Worst of all, and here comes my lecture people... .listen to your body it speaks loudly at times.... he had been having painful headaches for a few days and refused to go to the hospital, last night he started having headaches that nauseated him, his wife drove him immediately... he had a blood clot. they removed it.. and now we wait impatiently to determine what the results will be?!

we will all die at one time, for one reason or another. MAybe eating healthy and excercise will or will not help, no one person really knows for sure... there are the avid health junkies... they all die eventually too.

But this is just a good reminder why it is more and more important for us to be a little more aware of what our bodies are telling us. Get fit, get healthy and know when something is different.

prayers for you Uncle Brian, we love you and hope you get better really really soon.

Aquasize

Wow, i thought low impact would be easy. Not so.
It worked things that I didnt know needed working but it was so fun! I had a great time. And i really felt it last night and this morning. If I keep at it I will have success. It feels so good when you are consistant with something and keep going. Tonight we are taking a break and not doing anything. And I am glad for that.

ALthough I may just take the kids swimming anyways. It is fun and they love it and of course the sleep good at night too.

My website is coming along nicely and I am gathering more content to add.

Any ideaS?

Day three?

So i am losing track of days. Eating well and keeping the energy high. Still wont give up my double double in the morning, but I am definitely drinking more and more water.

Last night we went to the gym for an hour. Not very long, but long enough.

We booked for a one on one consultation and we will be meeting them next week. I can not wait.

And then we have drop in aquasize tonight so i am excited about that.

What do you like best about the gym? And like least?

I'll spend my golden years in Victoria, BC

I may want to go somewhere warm too, but I am Canadian and I do not see me leaving anytime soon. Even if I had all the money in the world, I would travel but I would end back here in Canada.
I say Victoria, but it would probably be somewhere else on the island. With the exception of this year there is not much winter. It is beautiful... ocean and mountains in the same breath taking view.

How can it get better than that really??

You have to see it to experience it, it is breath taking and the people are fantastic!

Update of Day one, and two

Ok, so it went really well on day one. Signed up for the monthly pass so I have NO excuses, got a book that tells me all the drop in classes. Headed for the bikes, the thigh abductors, the track and elipticals. I hurt by the end of it.. but that is good right? no pain no gain? Yes I stretched and warmed up. And I know it is because of my lack of using those muscles for so long.

Then the family met me and we went swimming for 1.5 hours.

The next day was to be a day of rest.. sunday. But no, I figured since we have the pass we better use it and we went swimming for two hours. Saw Paul Blart, Mall cop which is HILARIOUS and we had a really good day.

Tonight after honey is done his kickboxing my friend and I will venture back to the land of eliptical trainers, treadmills, bikes and the dreaded pushups. A few laps around the track and we will be getting into the swing of things.

:)

Day one

Well wish me luck. I have had my Access bar (from Melaleuca) and drank a couple glasses of water I am now awaiting my friend to pick me up and we are off to the gym.

I have my ipod loaded and I guess today I want to know what is a good play list for a 1 hour work out?

I will update you on how it went when I get back. I am excited. Today is Day one of the journey I have been waiting too long to start.

Woohoo.

Message Boards are launched

I am so totally excited that I have successfully launched a message board. I really hope that I can drive traffic there somehow and get them working the way I ultimately want to.
I know there are more parents out there than just me who struggled to get the weight off (or still are (me) )

I want the before and afters of all the hard work and I want to know that I played a small insignificant role in helping these people achieve their goals.

Looks like my plans to start next week have been escalated. Day one of the gym is tomorrow.

I plan to revisit the wii fit tonight and get a little bit of warm up and planning in!

Wish me luck.. here is to day one of the journey.
I look forward to blogging it with you.

It has launched

The most effective way to get seen is to be on the internet

So here I am. On the internet. My new website has launched and I am still working on it! I am developing a members section that has a message board so other people can post their information that will help us put all the very best health and wellness information on the internet.

So if you have any ideas... to start me off let me know.

In the mean time here is my resolution. Next week Kim and I are starting Boot Camp and Aquasize, we will also do one night a week of weights and another night a week of cardio four out of 7 days wont be too bad I dont think.

20 pounds in the first month. I know is high... but I think I can do it.

My Spot on the Web

I am just getting started. I have so much to share.. one day at a time. Fitness, financial, and also family.

Please just be patient, I am working it all out now.. but i work fulltime too.

Moms are never ever not BUSY!

Thanks for the help.
