Congratulations!!!!!
And now for some catching up. …. As you can tell I have been rather busy. Not only do I write here but also in addition to my mommy dutes, I have an online bookstore full of homemaking and more ebooks at PennyRaine.com/bookstore, I write a ministry newsletter at Ruth2.com … and I do my half of the home business at Rustic-Horses.com. That is all well but mostly sit down (except for the Momma part, and actually my crew is so well in order, even that is mostly directing traffic these days). So back in February I decided (with a little prayer nudge from my daughter) to get back in shape. Back in my 20’s I was an athlete, but then I was a workaholic, then I was a full time Momma and had 8 (my treasures) children all pretty much in a row and would not trade that for anything. Add in the midst of all those years a bad knee injury and a torn up ankle that kept me off my feet for months and then a busy but sitting down writing ministry and well this Mommas was out of shape. Sadly out of shape. I knew how to remedy that but I needed to make it a priority. So one day I did. But it took a minimum of two – four hours a day, and still does. So y’all haven’t heard from me as much. I will write more on that but it generally boils down to this, 5 miles a day on the treadmill, no skipping meals, and getting enough sleep. I have lost 50+ pounds and gone from a size 18 to a 12 so far, and I am not done yet 🙂 . I plan to be the size I was at 20 by the time I am 50, which will be next spring. Now of course I won’t look 20 and that part is not my goal. My goal is to be as healthy as I can be. So, now you know why I have been apparently missing in action. I have however finally gotten to the point where my workouts aren’t totally exhausting me, and I do feel like I am gaining ground and actually have a brain to think with again. Yay!! So expect to see a lot more posts here in the near future and I am going to try to revive some of the meme posting I used to do. If there is something new you would like to see, just leave me a comment 🙂 .
Also I believe I will have a spontaneous giveaway and cookbook sale here this morning, so stay tuned!!
and .. your thoughts?
