Hitting the Gym for Fun, NOT the Scale
Growing up I was not sporty in the least. I never participated in group sports. I would try my best to get out PE. When it was time to run the mile in PE I could only run for about 30 seconds before I had the walk the rest of it. I wasn't over weight as a child or teenager, just very out of shape. I always thought I hated working out (although in my head "working out" meant running for some reason).I have referred to my gym membership a couple times on my facebook page. I joined the gym in … [Read more...]

Vitamins: Gummys VS Chewables
I have a very picky eater at my house. When we went in to the doctor for my children's yearly check ups I spoke to her about his nutrition. I, of course, talked to her about my concerns with his lack of eating vegetables and most meat.

My First Cruise – Carnival’s Paradise
It was the fall of 2006. I had talked to some of my sisters about wanting to go on a cruise. In the back of my head I was really thinking "yeah right, going on a cruise is what other people do, not me." I didn't think there was any way that it would happen. I didn't know anyone that had ever been on a cruise (well maybe one of my sister's and her husband had, but I hadn't even seen pictures of it). To me a cruise was something that people did on TV shows, or won on game shows like The … [Read more...]
