Hey there fitness buddies, fellow health nuts, and great friends. I know it’s been a while. Honestly i’ve been busy living. It’s great.

Moving
We’ve been crazy tight the past 3 years. We bought our condo at the top and it depreciated 40k right away, and now another 30k. So we finally paid of the 2nd and realized we can now rent it out, and go live wherever we want. Yippie! With two kids I just need a little yard and a garage attached to my place. Were probably gona just rent a town home with a little yard, and 400 more square feet. It will be great.

So i’m bussy pakin’, and i’m going to get my hair done.

Redhead
I’ve always been a redhead…wait no it turned red when puberty hit at 12. Weird, any who it’s time for a change, i may go blond, everyone should be blond once in their life to make up for their blond moments =) I have quite a few of them, but then i was blond until i was 12.

Hope you all get a chance to have some fun this week and laugh a little. Love you all, talk to you soon.

Stress and busy work does not count or benefit my health like good old exercise.

I’m at 8lbs lost and holding, now it’s time to kick this plateau with some exercise, and switch around some of my healthy food. Make sure I’m not eating the exact same things and exact same calories every day. Make sure I’m mixing up how and what muscle groups I’m working. If i do what needs to be done i will get results.

Finacial Health:
Thanks to an amazing CPA and saving like crazy we’re able to pay off our 2nd mortgage. Even with that our condo is still 30k above market value, but it’s at least possibly to rent it out if an emergency happens. Now we just need to stick to our budget, stay here as long as possible, snow ball our debt, and save up cash to put down on a home eventually.

Spring is coming, and the extra sunshine sure makes a difference. Hope you all get a little sun this week.

Going thru the 4 Stages of Grief this week i started to think about the 4 stages of Chocolate.

1. Denial and Isolation (Isolate the chocolate by putting it higher in the cupboard, and deny that you’ll reach up there to get some)

2. Anger (Why can’t I eat as much chocolate as i want with out gaining weight)

3. Bargaining (well… today was a really bad day I’ll just have a few M&M’s, or that one piece of chocolate)

4. Depression (What, I’m addicted to chocolate addiction!   That means I’ll have to do something about it)

5. Acceptance (Yup, i have a chocolate addiction, and i deal with it by accepting it, and being acoutable when i decide to eat some, or lots =)

All is well. The services for my sweet little niece was perfect. The sun even came out all day in her honor. Little cousins sang a beautiful song, and everyone seems at peace when all was said and done. Now we’re just praying for the big sister (well bigger at 2.6 lbs). She’s improved leaps and bounds. Their little fighters who have inspired us all.

It really is amaizing how something so tragic can empower, inspire, incourage, and touch so many lives. Literally 100’s of lives have been touched by this little girl, and she only lived 16 days.

Wow, I’m 27. How am i touching others lives. How can i inspire others. I know it first starts with beliving in myself, and empowering others to belive in themselves. But, there’s a lot i don’t know, and there will always be something new to learn.

Thanks for being there, listening, cheering me on for the past 2 years. I’ve found friends i’ll have forever, and in a way i never thought possible. I’m grateful for each and every one of you.

I’m heading out on a road trip with the boys this time for a week to visit my friend..more like sister. She’s the sister of the buddy i lost in January. We always bring the best out of each other. I’m looking forward to some much needed girl time, and great long talks about everything and anything.

Love ya all – Krystal

P.S. I lost 2 lbs last week…that makes 7 in two weeks!!! Yea!
