Ice Cream Memories
Wrote this in my blog today but it's much easier to share the pictures on here :) Today I decided to try my hand at making homemade ice cream, I haven't done this since I was a kid yes many many years ago.

8 Months of making myself a priority!
Finally decided in January that I was important, my health was important and I could change. In 2012 I was hospitalized 4 times for a minimum of 6 days each time, for thing that a 41 year old should not be dealing with. My doctors were discussing 24/7 oxygen, home health aides, etc. It was a very depressing and scary time…

NSV: Great visit with my Doctor

I've come such a long way in 7 months. His comment when he saw me was "Wow you look like a totally new person!" Spending Christmas…

It was to live my life, to not be on home oxygen, to be able to stand up for 5 minutes without needing a breathing treatment. I'm 42 years old, and I'm way too young to be living as I was. I still have a long way to go, but every pound I…

Day 5, Level 1 Roll Call!
Day 5, Level 1 DONE! Can't believe it but I didn't have to take a break and used my weights through everything! Usually I drop the weights for the second round of strength. Tomorrow I think is going to be my rest day, and then back at it for a Mother's Day gift to myself. Getting healthy there is no better gift! Good Luck…
