So, I'm in the basement working out to my "Slim In 6" video & I just started laughing at one point ... the lovely, very SMALL instructor was reminding her very tiny "helpers" to remember to "pull that belly button into your spine" w/each contraction, while exhaling the very DEEP breath you were supposed to have taken ... well bust a gut, I can't even FEEL my belly button through the flab, let alone "pull it into my SPINE" while HEAVING myself up for a crunch contraction that basically entails a whole lot of grunting & maybe a MILLIMETER of "lift" off of the floor!!   As I worked the rest of the tape, I realized how humerous it would look to have ME behind the very lovely instructor showing off all of her moves ... "touch your toes" as you exhale that breath (TOES, are you KIDDING ME ... I can barely reach the ANKLES!!).  "Now, drop your head, exhale & REACH for the floor" (yeah, right ... I might make it if this BELLY weren't in the way!).  "Keep breathing, we're almost there" (BREATHING, I feel like I'm hyperventilating ... forget the whole "inhale, exhale w/each move" bit ... it's all I can do to SUCK THE OXYGEN into my lungs so I don't FAINT!).  "GREAT JOB, GUYS" (as I sit back on my butt b/c my legs are like rubber & SCREAMING w/pain ... apparently she can't "SEE" me too well, huh?). 

 

Honestly, though, I have to say that I AM getting stronger & able to do more with each passing day & I HOPE you are, too!!!  I just thought it was funny that they have a whole studio of thin, strong people showing you how to contort your body into a million different positions ... how about seeing some REAL PEOPLE in various stages of the "getting healthy" journey doing the exercises in the BEST way for them!  Now THAT wouldn't be quite so "funny" would it???? 

 

So, it's the big morning & we're BOTH holding our breath!!  Happily, we can BOTH report a loss this week, after really working hard to make SURE it happened!  Ray lost 3.5 lbs. & I lost 2 ... not spectacular numbers, but we're movin' in the right direction again!!!  He's down a total of 13.5 lbs. in Jan. & I've lost 9lbs. (10 will be gone BEFORE the first day of Feb., as it's my goal to lose 10 lbs. a month ... almost there!!!).  This is the most AMAZING thing ... last year when I was trying to "get healthy" it took me almost 3 months to lose 15 lbs. & I was THRILLED w/that ... NO MORE!  I am NOT "starving myself" & it's not been too terribly AWFUL losing an average of 2 lbs. a week, so I'm TOTALLY FOCUSED now on losing this 60 lbs. by June, when we have a wedding to attend for Ray's family!  I can SOOOO do this now & I'm EXCITED to prove it!  It's soooo AWESOME having Ray "in this" w/me!  When we're sitting at a birthday party DYING to dive into a 3rd, 4th or even 5th piece of pizza, we can look at the other & KNOW that we'll survive w/out it (& THANK THEM later for reminding us!!!).  We actually PLAN now, BEFORE we are in a difficult situation, as to what we're going to try & do!  We encourage each other to get in our workouts & support one another when we just don't FEEL like going!  This truly is a WHOLE NEW WAY of life & we are SOOOOO thankful to BL for encouraging us to jump in & give it a shot!  How BLESSED we are to be sharing this journey w/all of YOU!!!  THANK YOU for your continued support & strength!!  This truly is NOT something we could have done on our own!!!  Blessings to EACH of you on this journey ... may you find the strength, courage & determination to STICK TO THIS, so you might celebrate a longer & healthier life!!!  (Can you tell I'm feeling JOYFUL today!!?? )

 

Hey gang!  Well, it's almost time to see how we fared this week ... I know Ray is ITCHING to have a good loss this week, as last week's gain really deflated him a bit!  I know he's busted his tail this week, both in exercise AND in watching what he's eating, so I have NO WORRIES that he'll be FINE!  I, on the other hand, am a bit apprehensive, as it's "that time of the month" for me (ladies, you know what I'm talking about here ... sorry guys, but it's a fact of life!) ... anyway, I KNOW that means I will be LUCKY to have a loss this week, so I'm not holding my breath.  I've really tried to watch what I'm eating this week (even turned down some of my old favorites!) & I've started working out in our basement doing various exercise tapes (sometimes TWICE a day ... WOOHOO!).  I just figured it's easier for me to TRY & work it in here at home WHENEVER I can, than to try & get out of the house to the gym right now ... we'll see how the scale reacts to THAT!  I'm doing GREAT on my water intake each day, but I really need to get back into my habit of eating 5-6 smaller meals each day ... I'm having a hard time getting in (or remembering!) to eat btw. those regular meals.  I'm SURE that would help my metabolism speed up a bit!

 

We have another b-day party at my sister's house tonight that will include LOTS of pizza, cake & ice-cream.  I'm going to try to stay strong & enjoy a SMALL amount of what I want & just enjoy the celebration.  We went out bowling last night w/some friends from our church & of course they wanted to go have dessert afterwards.  On the way to the restaurant, Ray & I went from saying we were having NOTHING to deciding that we would feel silly not at least having a little something.  We made a plan to split the smallest dessert we could find & leave it at that.  Well, wouldn't you know, the best laid plans sometimes fail ... we ended up sitting at separate tables (5 guys & 5 gals), so sharing was difficult; however, they had these "mini-shot" sundaes that were really tiny, so we each got one of those & just "nursed it" for the night.  Honestly, we probably had less calories than if we'd shared a big huge chocolate drenched molten cake/ice-cream thingy!!!  It was our first night out together in a social setting like that in a MILLION YEARS & honestly, I was pretty proud of us!  I had my water bottle ("jug" as everyone called it b/c it holds over 50 oz.!) & Ray only had one drink at the bowling alley (iced tea b/c the water machine was broken ... see hon, it PAYS to have your own "jug"!  HAHA!).  We only drank water at the restaurant & had the tiny sundae, so hopefully, we didn't sabotage ourselves!  Time will tell ... it's still a "learning curve" for us, as we figure out how to handle all kinds of different situations, but at least we're TRYING ... MUCH MORE than we were ever doing before!

 

Gotta run & do my second workout for the day before the party (Ray just got back from the gym) ... so have a GREAT night & we'll check in after we weigh in tomorrow morning! 

 

Hi guys!

 

I've been MIA a few days, as it's been a busy week & computer time has been limited; however, I continue to plug along doing WHATEVER I CAN to make sure I'm eating more sensibly & "Moving my MASS" each day, as Ray, the science geek likes to say!    After last week's 2 lb. loss, I was all "gung-ho" to knock this week outta the park ... I'm not so sure that's going to happen.  I'm hoping for at least a BUNT!!  I KNOW my loss is going to be slower than Ray's ... I just don't want to see, after three months, that the ENTIRE amount left to lose for our team belongs to ME!!   I am SOOOOO proud of all Ray is doing to have success!  He's a big ex-football jock who LOVES to eat DOUBLE sandwiches & load up on PLENTY of fries, chips, etc.  He has forced himself to really monitor his portions & he ALWAYS tries to get in a big healthy salad ... I think he is AMAZED to feel "full" after only 1 helping, if he just waits long enough!  His exercise commitment is impressive, to say the least (there is NO WAY on this EARTH my body would be moving from that bed at 4:30 a.m. ... especially given the cold & snow here!!!), but I KNEW he would!  Keep it up, hon, I know how hard you're working!! 

 

Well, as Ray mentioned, our oldest celebrated his 12th b-day yesterday & it is TRULY hard to believe!  I remember him being born like it was YESTERDAY (what EVERY mother feels, I'm SURE!!).  I also remember how QUICKLY I bounced back to my "pre-pregnancy" weight (except that final 6-10 lbs.!), but I didn't care ... I was a MOM!!  Now, 6 children later, all of those "extra 10 lbs." have added up to a hefty 60 lbs. that need to be released!  With Nathan's b-day, we begin the process of celebrating ONE birthday every month until July (I guess we were good at spacing things out, huh?).  Anyway, b-days are a BIG deal here, b/c we CELEBRATE the fact that person is part of our family & our lives!  Of course, with celebration comes FOOD!  Ray & I tried to "prevent" our normal pizza indulgence last night by making up some broccoli & chicken pizza's on whole wheat thin crusts ... they are SOOOO yummy!  I think given the situation, I did pretty well.  I did sneak in a very small (HONEST!) piece of the pepperoni pizza, but overall, I didn't cave too bad.  When the cake & b-day brownies came out, I had another SMALL slice of cake to celebrate & that was it (nevermind the ONE small brownie I TESTED when it came out of the oven earlier in the day! ).  Honestly, for us, I think we did pretty darn good & I KNOW we will continue to get better w/each celebration, as we get further along in our healthy ways!

 

I was most proud of myself this week on Tues. or Wed. (the days seem to blur by Friday!) when Ray got home late b/c he had to work out after school (that was when his 24/7 gym was LOCKED that morning! UGGGH!).  Anyway, he arrived at "meltdown time" (mom's you KNOW what I'm talking about here ... every kid in the house is STARVING, the baby is HANGING on your leg, trying to get your attention, your older ones are trying to finish homework, which for SOME reason involves asking YOU every question imagineable & the dinner you HAD planned for the night is just NOT going to work w/the time frame you now have, b/c a trip to the store to get the ONE ingredient you need would be OUT OF THE QUESTION at this moment!).   Anyway, Ray arrived during THAT time to find out my oldest son (the 12 yr. old) needed help getting started on some snowblowing for his "business" that he started this year.  Needless to say, me leaving to go work out THEN just wasn't in the cards!  Well, Ray got Nathan started & then proceeded to work on making TURKEY BURGERS (YEP, you read it right ... this family of "Beef Only Burgers" was venturing to the healthy side!).  I started washing & cutting potatoes to make "healthier baked fries" (also a new venture!).  Once I got them done, I decided I could STEW & GRUMP about not getting in my workout (wich, if not done before 6pm, is REALLY hard to do, since I like to be around for dinner & bedtime routine) OR I could CHOOSE to do something about it ... well, I chose to march upstairs, toss on some sweats & popped in a "Slim in 6" KILLER video, which I proceeded to do amid the "chaos" of my house!  I normally HATE doing a video in front of my children, let alone RAY, but I had no choice if I'm going to SUCCEED this week!  Burgers were done (& might I say, TOTALLY TASTY!!), fries were ready & my workout was OVER (of course the PAIN I felt from moving certain muscles was just BEGINNING!), but I had DONE it!  Normally, I would have just thrown in the towel & said, "too bad, no time, no can do on the exercise today!"  Maybe I AM starting to have a SLIVER of a shift toward adopting a more healthy attitude! 

 

Yesterday, I jumped out of the car after picking up the two 3 yr. olds from preschool (I babysit one for a neighbor b/c I don't have enough of my own ... HA HA!), I grabbed a shovel & starting scraping about 10 in. of ice off of our driveway (ok, I KNOW Ray said 3 in., but he was NOT there!) .  Yes, our son the "neighborhood snowblower" had neglected to do our drive (b/c we were rushing him to join us for our turkey burger dinner!) & the ice & melting snow was making a MESS.  Given the weather that's coming, I knew the driveway needed to be cleared.  I figured it would take me 15 min. & I'd let the kids stay out & "play" while I made a quick job of it & we all went in for lunch ... NOT!  Since I've never really DONE that job before, I was in for a TREAT!   It took me almost 45 min. to do the job (which my 1 yr. old LOVED b/c he LOVES to be outside & he was following me around w/his own little shovel ... sooo cute!).  Of course, about 15 min. into it instead of being DONE I was sweating PROFUSELY, breathing HARD & nowhere NEAR being finished!  I decided to keep going & use it as my "exercise" for the day, since the b-day party would leave me no time to work out at the gym!  When I finished, I felt exhilarated ... not only by the site of the massive driveway being CLEAR, but also b/c I had worked my TAIL off & it felt GREAT!  It might not have been squats, lunges or curls, but by golly, I could FEEL it!!! 

 

So, I'm not sure this week will reveal any "earth-shattering" numbers for me in the weight-loss department, but I AM starting to see small changes throughout my day that are forcing me to be more healthy & aware of what I'm doing!  Each day is a BATTLE to avoid the sweets I crave so much or to get in the exercise I need, given the list of things that need done, but I AM making changes & for that, I can thank ALL OF YOU!!!!  When I was out w/my little ones earlier in the week running errands & I wanted NOTHING MORE than to stop at the drive-thru & grab a quick lunch (& SODA, since I gave those up COLD TURKEY!), I had over 100 little "voices" in my head saying, "DON'T DO IT ... "  I was able to leave the parking lot (yes, I  HAD PULLED IN!) & go home to a HEALTHY lunch for myself AND my kids ... for that little victory, I am TOTALLY GRATEFUL!!!! THANK YOU to ALL of our "friends" who are cheering us on ... I just wanted you to realize the impact you have, just by being there in our "weakest" moments!!!

 

 

 

Well, it's a "done deal" ... we had our weigh-in this morning & as you can see, our TEAM is really kickin' it!  I'd LOVE to say it was thanks to me, but alas, my "light approach" to this week did not contribute huge & hefty numbers to our total!  I did lose 2 pounds and I KNOW, "slow & steady wins the race," but I'd like to finish this one BEFORE I become a GREAT GRANDMOTHER!!!    I truly am content w/losing 2 lbs., considering I wasn't able to exercise to my fullest potential & I had a few eating "blips" in my week (CURSE my sister's promotion & that darn Red Lobster lunch ... URRRGGHHH!) !!  Anway, I am even MORE motivated to get my body MOVING HARD this week & really tackle some eating issues (like getting in a full 5 MINI-MEALS a day!).  I know it will start to happen, once I'm truly focused & I feel like this week was a "wake-up call" to what I KNOW is possible if I really get serious!  I am SOOOOOO proud of Ray, but I'll let him share in his own blog!  I know he thinks I'm BUMMIN' b/c he lost so much, but honestly, I KNEW it would be this way & I went into it KNOWING the weight would MELT off of him (especially in the beginning!) & I would struggle to lose my 2-5 pounds weekly ... WHY IS IT THAT WAY WITH SO MANY WOMEN???  Ray's been in several "weight loss challenges" through his school & he comes home to tell me guys are dropping 10-15 pounds in a WEEK ... tell me what WOMAN can do that???  I guess our bodies are just hard-wired to hold on to all that FAT ... gee, THANKS!  Oh well, time to look forward to next week!  I may not EVER "beat" my hubby w/the AMOUNT of pounds I lose, but I WILL improve each week!

 

As you can see, our LOVELY photos were posted last night ... what a TRAUMATIC experience!  Our borrowed camera was acting up, again, & the battery kept powering off after taking just one or two pics.  We'd have to close it & wait a minute before we could snap another photo ... now, since we only had 8 photos to take, this may not SEEM like a big deal, but for a gal who wanted nothing more than to be DONE in 30 seconds FLAT, this was a HUGE deal!   Of course, I didn't mind when I was the one FULLY clothed TAKING the pictures, but when I finally trudged front & center & had to remove my nice big T-shirt, I wanted to SCREAM!  Ray was so sweet, though ... he KNEW how uncomfortable I was (YES!  Even w/my own HUBBY!  I do NOT enjoy "flashing my blubber" ... not even to HIM!).  Anyway, when we moved to my "side shots" & the camera "stalled," he closed his eyes w/o a word ... I could have cried!!!  He was being so respectful b/c he KNEW how hard it was for me!  Then, when we LOADED the pics. & had to VIEW them he was so great .... he TOTALLY made "fun" of himself first & put up funny little sayings w/each picture ... by the time we were ready to do my pics., we were both laughing & joking about them .... he truly helped to make a painful experience bearable!!  I just had to give a public "SHOUT OUT" the world's most WONDERFUL & SENSITIVE HUBBY around!!  I love you, Hon!!!    So the trauma is over & from here, it just gets BETTER & BETTER!  It will be FUN to see our progress in the weeks to come & now I'm GLAD we did it (OK, not really glad ... how about, just thankful that it's OVER!). 

 

 

 

Hey Gang!  Sorry, we've been MIA lately ... a few sickies (kids) & projects going on, so things are a bit hectic (& just exactly when are they NOT in this house???) HA HA!  Did you notice our lovely BLANK picture space ... no, we didn't really take them in the dark like I had hoped ... we just haven't TAKEN them at ALL ... but I can say that we are just about to go & do that NASTY deed, as soon as our oldest heads off to bed.  We HAVE to start doing it before all of this weight starts MELTING off (I can dream, right??)!!  Anyway, our weigh-in is tomorrow morning, so we HAVE to get these pics. done, so I can stop having them hang over my head!!

 

Even though it's been a crazy week & I was sick for a good portion of it, I'm PROUD that I'm still "in this thing" ... remember how I tend to be an "all or nothing" kind of gal, well, I did have a few "blips" this week & I just got right back up & kept on GOING!! YEAH, ME!!  I wasn't able to go the "gym," but I DID get my walking in whenever I could (& it was NEVER a "leisurely stroll," either!!).  I went out for lunch w/my mom & sister today, to celebrate a promotion she got at work, & we went to Red Lobster ... UGGGHH!  I KNEW I would have trouble turning down my favorite (which I did!), but I made the choice to eat very little for dinner, drink LOTS of water & NO snacking today, to TRY & keep my "calories in" vs. "calories out" at least CLOSE to each other!  I guess we'll see tomorrow ... I'm still a "newbie" to a lot of this "healthy eating" thing, so I'm just happy to have survived the day w/o indulging in ANYTHING else!!

 

OK, off to take these photos & then to BED, so we can get lots of "fat burning sleep" in before we step on that scale tomorrow (is that even POSSIBLE ... dont' I WISH!!). 

 

Enjoy a GREAT night, everyone & check back tomorrow to see how we did this week (& actually "see" what we look like ... up close & "personal" ... GREAT !).

 

 

Hey Gang!  Angie here ... in case you didn't notice, Ray is going to be blogging in that oh so "sunny" neon-yellow color.  I was going to say you'd be able to tell mine b/c I tend to go nuts w/the little "happy face guys," but Ray shocked me by adding one last night! Married 13 yrs. & he STILL surprises me sometimes! HA HA!

 

So, we are putting our pictures up TONIGHT (do you "hear" that, honey??).  Our camera is on the fritz, so we had to borrow one & the lighting is a little "off," but you'll get the "picture," I'm sure!  I just want to know if it's possible to take them in the dark ... I think we'd look MUCH better in THAT lighting!   I'm so PROUD of you all who have already undergone that traumatic event ... I guess, like they said last night, you have to "Die to be reborn" ... I'll DIE of embarrasment from my pics, but hopefully that will INSPIRE me to continue pushing on in this journey to get healthier!

 

Speaking of pushing on ... I've had a sinus headache/cold thing since last Fri. & have felt like crud.  I have a membership to Women's Workout Express (like Curves), but haven't used it since last March.  Ray has been on me to get going back (yep, he started in a gym this week), but I just was not up for it ... I could barely BREATHE earlier in the week & the last thing I needed was to pass out the first time I stepped back in the place!    We have been blessed with some VERY MILD weather here in Ohio, so I took advantage & started walking this week.  It felt soooo great to get outside & I really did try to walk quickly, suck in my gut & squeeze my glutes whenever I could!  That being said, I wanted to CRY when I got up Tues. morning & felt SORE!!!  How EMBARRASSING to only have walked in my neighborhood for 45 min. & felt it that much!  My legs & behind were ... "OUCH!" (guess those "squeezes" worked!).  So, it was 9am on Tues. & another beautiful day ... I decided to take my 1 yr. old out for a walk, since he LOVES being outside & we don't usually get that chance in Jan. around here!  I started out a little stiff & slow, but I managed to pick up the pace & pulled him in the wagon for 1 HOUR at a good clip!!!  I was SOOO proud of myself!  I realized, though, that most of my soreness was due to two things:  1.) NOT having moved an OUNCE of my body for WAAAAY too long & 2.) NOT stretching after I walked.  I figured, "hey, I only WALKED ... I don't need to stretch" ... WRONGO!  So, after I got back home w/my little guy, I let him play outside while mommy looked ridiculous trying to hoist her leg up behind her to stretch her quads!  I did manage to do that & a few other stretches & I'm sure that helped, as I'm not nearly as sore today ... thanks also, to my honey, who used his "coaching skills" to help stretch me out last night, too.  He did all of these "football stretches" that he puts his guys through ... ahhh, how romantic (as my belly jiggles & I struggle to position my leg AROUND the fat!)!   I've decided that I'm going to stick to my walking another day or two, before I head back to the workout center.

 

As for eating ... no real "plan" here that we're following yet, just downing a TON of water, majorly downsizing our portions & throwing in healthy alternatives whenever we can (i.e. dinner last night was made w/whole wheat pasta & we added a salad ... NOVEL idea for this family who mostly HATES fruits & veggies!).  I know Ray & I need to start being even MORE conscious of an eating plan & probably start writing it down somewhere, too.  I have a membership to the BLC website through Feb., so I guess I should probably figure out HOW to use that, huh???  It's just finding the time to get to yet one more thing in my day ... but NO EXCUSES ... we have LIVES to change!!!  Our kids are already noticing the small changes we are trying to make ... after school snacks yesterday consisted of carrot sticks & cucumber slices for my 2 older girls (ages 6 & 8)!  I was SHOCKED, but they were cut up & ready to go (now getting them down MY throat is going to take a LOT more work ... I have tended to be one of those moms who TOLD her kids to eat their fruits & veggies b/c I KNOW they need them, but I rarely eat them b/c I seem to have a SERIOUS GAG reflex when it comes to ingesting them myself!  HORRIBLE EXAMPLE, I KNOW ... I'm WORKING on it!!).  My boys, like me, will be a bit more of a challenge, but we'll get there ... one step at a time!

 

I am SOOOO excited & "pumped" reading so many other people's struggles & successes!  It's an AMAZING feeling being part of something SO BIG & I was thinking about how many of us are parents & what a WONDERFUL GIFT we are giving our children ... to set them on the healthy path NOW, so that THEY will not have to endure these struggles is truly a priceless gift to them!  I was also thinking about the magnitude of having the U.S. pledge 1,000,000 lbs. lost ... imagine when people start seeing our results (you know, family, neighbors, friends, co-workers, etc.) & ask what we're doing ... heck, next season's biggest loser could get DOUBLE the amount of weight pledged & this country would TRULY begin to experience a shift toward becoming one of the HEALTHIEST NATIONS on earth ... WOW!!!! Gives me goose bumps just THINKING about the possibilities!!!  And to think ... it all starts with you & me doing our part!!!  WE CAN DO THIS!!

 

Gotta run for now ... "see" you all back here tonight, when we post our lovely pics!  UGGGGHHH!

 

 

 

 

 

 

OK, so we're STILL in the process of figuring out this whole space thing AND cleaning up from all of our Christmas celebrations (man, does the house look "naked" now!), but I thought I'd share a quick story about how we're moving along ...

 

So, it was a BUSY day yesterday & we ended up STARVING by last night.  Since we were "officially" weighing in this morning, we took "full advantage" of our LAST CHANCE MEAL, as we decided to call it!  Ray had a gift card from one of his students to BW-3's, & we love their wings, so we splurged & got some (along w/2 heaping portions of buffalo chips, which wouldn't be complete w/o a large portion of cheese!).  The funny thing is, I think we both felt so guilty eating it that we didn't enjoy it as much as usual!  We spent the whole meal PLANNING what we would be eating (that wouldn't CLOG our arteries!) & HOW we would be fitting exercise into our new lifestyle, which begins tomorrow!

 

Once everyone goes back to their "regular routines" I hope to get on here & share our story & plan for change!  For now, just know that we are cheering so MANY of you on & looking forward to a fun, fantastic ride TOGETHER!!!

 

Enjoy a SUPER SUNDAY!  GO BUCKS!!!

 

 

Until next time ... drink some water, move a little & SMILE!

Angie

 

Well, Ray & I had this brilliant idea that we would just "sign up" for this million pound challenge thing & motivate our butt's to get LOSING!  We spent a fair amount of time last night just trying to figure out HOW to set this all up ... technologically challenged, that's what I say!    Not only are we attemtping to do something we have been incabable of doing the past 10 years, but now we're going to be putting it out there for the whole WORLD to see ... YIKES!  I guess that's about as motivating as you can get ... being accountable to the "world" each day of your journey.  I'm writing this now to jumpstart our page & we'll figure out how to put the rest together over the weekend.  Hopefully, our journey will help to inspire & motivate others ... if we can do it, ANYONE can!  You'll learn more about each of us in the next few blogs & see just HOW we came to be in this place called "UNHEALTHYVILLE" & HOW we plan to get out ... I'm excited about the journey, but PETRIFIED of the road ahead, knowing how many MAJOR changes will need to be made.  I guess it all starts with the decision to CHANGE & that we've done!  Join us, as we muddle our way through this journey ... cheering us on when we need it, holding us accountable when necessary & most of all, just sharing any helpful tips or ideas along the way!  We are doing this for ourselves, but also for our six BEAUTIFUL young children ... we were blessed with each of them & they deserve to have BOTH parents as LONG as possible!!

 

Until next time ... drink some water, move a little & SMILE!

Angie
