In the past, I would not have done this, I am sure. But here ya go! These were taken right after my workout this morning. I’m actually pretty happy with how these photos look. It does feel good to be at my goal weight, but I plan to continue to reshape and improve my muscles and body!

Snacks used to be one of my favorite things, but I have considerably reduced the number of snacks I consume. I fast for at least twelve hours in the evening and onto the morning (broken by sixteen ounces of celery juice). But I still do have my go-to snacks. I love fruit. Grapes, oranges, and apples. All of these delicious […]

Well, as I have lost weight, I have noticed that what I’m wearing is changing. My tastes in clothing have changed rather drastically. And some of the clothes I always liked to wear, I don’t any longer. I will share a few things I might like to wear in the future, but this is merely a beginning. I would love […]

Since New Year’s Eve is practically over here… We were supposed to visit my brother and sister-in-law today, but my mom was a bit under-the-weather and exhausted from her procedure, so we stayed home. I just got done watching two Disney movies with my daughter–Moana and Big Hero 6. I had never seen either. We had a blast. Before that, I had […]

Oh, there’s so much that makes me smile! So many, many things. Let me post a few pictures of what makes me smile.   This is only the beginning!

I realize I’m a day behind, but in this case, I’m so glad I got to wait to write this! First of all, my younger self always dreamed of being able to work with actors.
