Corona Virus work from home

Day 1074. 225 lbs lost (as of 2-2). I remember my first work at home day; it was about 13 years ago. I slept in till around 9:00 am, wandered into the kitchen, threw on a pot of coffee, and then went into the living room to watch T.V. Four hours later, a pot of […]

Day 1,099. 211 lbs. lost Cheers to 2019. Hell of a year, wow …where do I even start! I’m currently working on my yearly review in my 2020 Goals workbooks, and thought it would be fun to do a round-up post here as well to share with you all of how this year has been for […]

knee replacement 8 weeks post op

Day 889.  218 lbs. lost (as of 6-14). Twenty-seven pounds. It doesn’t seem like that large of a number compared to the total, but it was enough to feel it when I walk, and I can see it in the mirror. Being fairly limited to a chair and not exactly sticking to my zone for […]

blounts disease surgery

Day 860. 231 lbs lost (as of May 14). It feels weird to be able to write again. I have missed it dearly. A few days before surgery, I was quite optimistic that I would have lots of downtime to catch up on blogging, creating recipes, working on the podcast, and all of the initiatives […]

Day 736. 245 lbs lost (As of 12-14). Now, we aren’t quite sure if its still that number or not. I had quite a bit of egg nog over Christmas. Unfortunately, there are caloric penalties for being a connoisseur of this item although I am highly skilled {{laughing}}. Mmm hmm… a few indulgences. But – eh, we’re […]

best weight loss blog st paul minnesota

I woke up this morning, my feet hit the floor, and the legs didn’t hurt. As much as they were aching the other day, they’ve recovered. I even bounced on them a bit just to test them out and they didn’t hurt at all.  *surprised look*. What do you know… I started some spring cleaning […]

Morning with Bean, how exciting.  I don’t get to post in this category that much. So, our discussion this morning is based on a conversation I had yesterday. Someone asked me how I was losing weight.  I will share a secret with you: I’ve done it without counting a single calorie.  Hard to believe but […]

weight in wednesday weight loss blog

Follow my blog with Bloglovin My first weigh in. Hmm. I feel like maybe today I should explain a little more about where I am versus what the number looks like. The number doesn’t express how  I feel that’s for sure. I feel like a penguin when I walk. I didn’t use too, but now […]

loss of a dog

I’m very sorry that’s it’s been awhile since I wrote. I didn’t fall off the face of the earth. Life happened over the last six weeks and it’s taken me a bit to get back on board. Life in the house got very busy and was chaos for several weeks. I had projects coming out […]

robins egg hanging basket

I had to run an errand the other morning and I was walking to my car when I glanced over at my porch. There was a long waving ribbon hanging from one of the flower baskets I have on my front porch. I thought it was odd so I walked over to get a closer […]

LOL...Other times, I’m rocking a top ponytail in my leggings with a cup of coffee in my hand with For King and Country blasting on Spotify while I work on various businesses with my best friend and two dogs in Saint Paul, Minnesota.

 With God’s help, I’m creating a life I love from the inside out and loving every minute of it. I began by committing to my inner work, following my heart, and choosing faith over fear with a fierce commitment to living my best life.

You don’t have to travel this crazy journey alone – let’s do it together.
