Losing Weight and Loving It

Many things can contribute to adding a few pounds!

In my case, health problems, medications and 

less exercise was the culprit.

I have never dieted but from time to time made

a more conscious effort to eat more healthy

and exercise more.

A friend began losing weight and feeling great

so I became more interested in how she

was accomplishing this and wanted to try her system.

On February 28, 2012 I began eating more balanced

with keeping proteins and carbs in balance along

with drinking more fluids and water and

having snacks in between meals.

This system is called Diet Free for Life based

on the book and Food Lover's Weight Loss System

by Robert Ferguson, MS, CN.

I began seeing a huge difference in my weight.

In about 5 weeks I have lost 15 1/2 pounds

and several inches from my waist

and I've never ate so much in my life!

Eating balanced is really the key and it really 

does work!  I just wanted to share this with

others who may have picked up a few extra

pounds and would like to get the book

and see if it's right for you
and acceptable with your Doctor.

Best Wishes for Healthy Eating
& Happy Living!

Still Here

Just wanted to let everyone know that I'm still here.  

I've needed more rest lately as I await surgery.  

I'm looking forward to feeling better and posting more.  

With the energy I've had, I invested it in a Ladies Day at our Church, 

which was absolutely wonderful!  God blessed with every detail and 

we all left feeling refreshed and ready for ministry.

Thank you for your patience and I plan to post a 

few things before surgery in a few weeks!

Many Blessings!

Goodbye Cricut!!!

Many of you may remember that I recently had to send my 

Cricut Expression back to Provo Craft with a bad LCD screen.

Provo Craft was wonderful and the replacement machine

came, but unfortunately it isn't working properly.  

When cutting it doesn't line up correctly or cut all the way through,

so it's shipping out tomorrow!

Once again, Provo Craft was super nice and asked me to

choose any cartridge I wanted and they 

would send it to me for my trouble!

Thank you Provo Craft for good customer service

and for my "Country Life" cartridge that's on its way...

and my new Cricut Expression!

I'll be crafting Cricutless for a little while longer!

New Blog on the Corner

Mud Pie Reality is a blog about real life.  It's about the days you are grocery shopping, in the rain, and step in the biggest water puddle on the way to the car and have to rush home, unload groceries, cook supper and manage to wear a smile until bedtime. 

Thankfully, the sun eventually comes out and dries the water and mud and warms our tired bodies, reminding us that amongst the dirt & mud of life, comes some sunshine, hope and strength for another day.

So, if you've ever had one of those days and need some encouragement to lean on the brighter side, finding some peace, humor and sanity along the way....then this is the blog for you.  Follow Mud Pie Reality to add a little spark of sunshine on the rainy days.
