OK so the challenge is over and i did pretty well. Of course always room for improvements but lost 3.7% body fat and lowered my total cholesterol by 30 points. Still working on weight loss and my blood sugars for my pre-diabetic stuff though and still need to lower cholesterol more but i feel what i accomplished was great and such an amazing opportunity and meet some wonderful Ladies and friends through this. No i didn't win the challenge but Loleta did and she so deserved it I'm very proud of her. So I'm posting a picture of me @ the event but please excuse the makeup as ulta did it and i feel it was a little to much for me and i felt kind of like a clown, but otherwise i feel my figure rocks. take care and thanks for following me.

Hi everyone, so i went dress and shoe shopping tonight with my mother in-law (bless her soul)it was a good time and she was so helpful. I found a very stunning RED dress and black shoes. I also went to Ulta and got my color match done for makeup. They use bare minerals products and i've never used them b4 so it was fun. I'm so excited for Wednesday and nervous is anyone else? And my husband Brent is coming with me, is anyone else besides Molly bringing support with them? Does anyone know if we get to sit with out spouses or whom ever we bring? I'm not letting my husband see my my dress or shoes until he comes Wednesday.i will post pictures probably Thursday and let everyone know how it went and who won the challenge and all my results. Wish me luck, I hope everyone has a great last day and see you all soon.

Almost the end but a whole new beginning

​​​OMG ladies were almost done with the challenge but yet ready to start a whole new beginning on our own. I'm so excited to see everyone @ the luncheon next Tuesday i can't wait. I had my Hair appt with Erin w/ Hairapy last Friday and i really like it and very nice nice job, she's such a amazing person to help us with this and lift our spirits with a hair makeover, and such a great person in general. and i was so excited to learn she's going to style our hair for us the day of the luncheon also.
So i have my last dietitian appt tomorrow so lets see how my pre-diabetes and blood sugar testing has been, and on Wednesday i have my last labs and cardiology nurse practitioner appt with Carol Marsh and hoping my numbers have done even better since last time. and then next Monday is my last appt. with Steve my trainer. So wish me luck guys and i wish the same for you guys and cant wait to see you guys. also ladies bring your calendars with you to the luncheon as at the circle of life meeting we were thinkins of trying to set a weekend or even 1 night get away for all of us to do together to kinda celebrate so maybe we can get that set up and also be thinking of a suggestion of where to go or what to do. Molly i hope you have a great vacation and keep in touch and try to stay on track. See everyone soon.

Hi everyone it's been awhile sorry. I have been sick for about 6 days with a massive migraine, was in to Dr. 2 times and ER once for injections and X-Rays and labs to try and figure out what is going on, I do get migraines but never this severe or this long. Everything has come back normal so far (lab work & X-Rays)so now they want to do a CT of the head as well as a referral to a Neurologist. It's been very scary and painful at times. As they aren't sure why this is happening and if its sinuses or head.today is much better and i actually am able to function somewhat for the 2nd day in a row. YEAH!!!!
So anyways Molly i want to wish you good luck tomorrow on your makeover and my appt is after you in the evening so I'm very excited. and i know i also seen someone else has on Saturday so best of luck to all and hope everyone is doing well and staying on track as our challenge is almost near. Molly also have a great vacation and can't wait to see you when you return and hear about it. Maybe we can get 1 last workout in. Take care all and hope everyone best of luck.

We are almost there!!!

Hi there everyone it's been awhile sorry. OK so Last Friday was the Circle Of Red and so nice to see everyone and chat that was awesome and well needed everyone looks amazing. Glad to see and hear from everyone about the challenge and talk about it, i wont be able to bring my spouse to Luncheon for us on March 2nd as they changed time and didn't tell us till last Friday @ the Circle Of Red and also to expensive, wish i could have him for support specially if one of us wins this challenge it would be nice to have someone there but hey we are all winners right. So last weekend was a little crazy as my son turned 8 so we has his party Saturday. and that was a great day and he said one of the best parties ever it was sledding and outdoor. ( great plan to help promote healthy things for parties and the obesity today). although did have cake, hot dogs and chips. and Sunday was his real birthday so my husband and i took him on the timber twister alpine coaster at Spirit Mountain, it was a blast they had been on it before but not myself. So Monday Molly and myself meet with our trainer Steve for kind of a mid check up and awesome workout while I'm down 5 lbs and 2.7% body fat that was great news wish weight was down more I'm also building muscle and if i do say myself i'm looking pretty good and belly slowing going away...AWESOME. I have also noticed i can run on treadmill longer and do more of a workout its great and i feel so pumped and wonderful after.about the diet i have been doing pretty well haven't really documented food to well i do have to admit not that I'm doing bad but so busy and forget my big binder all the time. so i have made it to the gym 2 times this week Wednesday worked extra hard and was able to do treadmill for minutes in beginning the 25 in end after routine. amazing feeling never have been able to do that before. This weekend i will be going away for my husbands birthday just the 2 of us till Sunday god i hope the hotels have a gym. if not pool here i come for laps and water exercise. and i hope to blog then also. So i hope everyone else is continuing to do well and i always think of you ladies you are all so amazing and uplifting. awesome support group...take care and chat soon.
