Introduction Text My favorite quotes: We are much more than the number on the scale. ..media would like for us to feel inferior if we weigh more than 120lbs, it's us that buy into this notion that our size determines our worth. There is no person more valuable than another, we are all here for a purpose, We are all equally beautiful. Let's work together to bury this idea that we need to be a certain size to matter & be accepted as whole. It starts with our own self image ♥ Here's to your HEALTH! What saves a man is to take a step. Then another step. It is always the same step, but you have to take it. ~Antoine de Saint-Exupéry ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A Healthy body is a guest-chamber for the soul; A sick body is a prison. ~ Francis Bacon ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is not a diet; this is MY LIFE. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You're a fantastic person on an exciting journey, in the middle of creating a life that you want. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "We would accomplish many more things if we did not think of them as impossible." Vince Lombardi ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you want something bad enough, you'll find a way; if you don't, you'll find an excuse. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I'm on the *Low-Crap-Diet* and a *Get-Off-Your-Butt* Exercise Plan. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ...long-term success is about persistence, not perfection. It�s picking yourself up when you fall, over and over again. ~dietgirl ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Learn the Unforced Rhythms of Grace Lay Low in the Power of God Stop Blow Drying Dead Rabbits ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ �There's a difference between interest and commitment. When you're interested in doing something, you do it only when it's convenient. When you're committed to something, you accept no excuses; only results.� ~Kenneth Blanchard ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Small actions, good OR bad, do add up over time. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Take what you get and you get what you give I said dont run from yourself man that's no way to live I've got a record in my bag you should give it a spin Put your hands in the air so that life can begin If God is a DJ, Life is a dance floor Love is a rythm, You are the music If God is a DJ , Life is a dance floor You get what is given (Then get your ass on the dance floor) It�s all how you use it ~Pink~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It is SO much easier to NOT put 100 calories IN than it is to excercise 100 calories OFF! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Why hasn't anyone asked me why the hec I would ever blow dry a dead rabbit?

I'm Mary, from Santa Rosa, Ca. I'm 53. I have 4 grown young sons, whom I'm very proud of, Ben,34; Jeff, 30; David,27; and Michael,24. Lucky me!

I, like the rest of you, juggle my hobbies and life. My juggling pins are Television, reading, beading, scrapping, striving to be generally crafty, kids, walking the LBD, my own exercise regime, and the most time consuming...workin' for a livin'. Oh, was I supposed to socialize too???
