Me...

I just thought I'd give an update on me and the changes in life I've made and the effects thereof. I started all of this on June 6th and as of today I have lost 23 1/2 pounds. I have went from being a person who hated exercising to someone whom really enjoys it. I am wearing a size 12/14 clothes, depending on how it is made. I bought some new clothes about 3 weeks ago that were to small and they are all now fitting. I bought a skirt at the same time that was to small and I wore it to church this past Sunday and honestly if I had waited any longer to wear it, it would have been too big. I feel so much better and when people come to me and say wow your looking really good that feels good. I wonder why they don't come to you when your putting on weight and say my your getting fat. Isn't that strange. I just want to encourage everyone out there that might be considering this go for it. It can be done. When I first started I was so out of shape that I couldn't walk any great distance. Mom and I were at the park walking the other night and we made all the way around running. That is so empowering, just to know that I accomplished that. This has also made me feel so much better about myself, it makes me want to do things for me. It's really quite strange to post this stuff because I feel like I'm bragging on myself and I hate doing that but it also helps me keep up with things and I have some out there that are interested in progress and I must keep them updated. Love you all!

You most certainly CAN brag on yourself if you want to!! We don't do that nearly enough these days and it seems many of suffer a lack of self esteem (myself included) and it should not be that way.

My opinion is that you can do whatever you want to on your blog.

And lastly, WAHOOOO...you go girl! That is fantastic! I know exactly what you mean. I could relate to every word you wrote. Thanks so much for the encouragement!

Yea Bev!!!!
I am so happy for you!!!!
I bet it felt so good to put on those new clothes (that were too little a few weeks ago), and have them fit. That is wonderful! Wear them out while you can, they will be to big before you know it! haha

You have accomplished so much, in such a short amount of time. Now you are going to be addicted to exercise, just like me and Jen. It just makes you feel so amazing, and makes you look great all at the same time...who couldn't love that?!

You are really doing good, and I am so proud of you. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for keeping us updated. Me and Mom (Debbie Sanders), are cheering for you, and thinking of you often. So keep us posted on your progress. We will rejoice with you on the good days, and keep you motivated on the bad days. We have been through this, so we know how hard it can be...but it is SO WORTH IT!!!!! :)
Love ya girl,

Peace, Quiet, Stillness and yet why can't I enjoy it..... It's Sunday morning and I have sent my family off to church is why... I am so suppose to be with them but after the last few day I know that I cannot sit through Sunday School and then morning worship.. My body for one is so sore and stiff it would never make it. I feel like a old lady( no offense to anyone out there but this is for the birds). Secondly I fall asleep at the drop of a hat and I believe that would be quite embarrassing. So I sent my Hubby and boys off this morning without me. I knew I had a great husband but he has really proved himself over the last few days (not that he had to). I had my hysterectomy on Thursday morning and so not to interrupt the boys schedules to much I got up early that morning and went over and had my mom drive me to the hospital. Donnie stayed home so he could get the boys off to school and he got to the hospital in plenty of time before I went back to surgery. He and mom were the f

I'm amazed at the difference. So I finally got a new scale and I have actually lost a total of 17 pounds over the past 6 or 7 weeks. Some have wanted to see the difference and here ya go the top picture was taken in May at Eli's birthday party. The bottom picture was taken 3 days ago at Sea World with the boys. Boy am I glad I lost the weight and started exercising I never would have been able to do what we have done this week without having done that. The river walk, Sea World, The Natural Caverns, & The Wildlife Ranch. It was all really nice I'll post more picture of our adventure later. Love to all. Beverly!

THIS STINKS I MEAN IT, IT REALLY STINKS! I don't even know where to start. As most of you know my husband has an 18 year old daughter, her name is Bethany. Bethany came into my life when she was only 5 years old. So as you can imagine as the years has gone we have became not only by marraige but by building a relationship mother and daughter. Bethany turned 18 in January and the fun really began. I hope you can hear the sarcasm in my voice. She had literally turned into this kid that we don't recognize anymore. Okay so I know that I wasn't the easiest child to raise and that I nearly gave my parent a heart attack when I married my husband whom already had 2 children when I was only 19 but I promise you I was listening to God. I mean look at us 11 1/2 years later. We are doing wonderfully and love each other more than we did then. I see Bethany running with the wrong kids, doing things I never would have dreamed of. Then she sends me a text message last Friday(here is the ki
