There is always a lot going on here. I don’t ever seem to have the time to give you a proper run down of the different things that are happening. Or I forget them long before I get on the computer. I can tell you that my niece Peppermist

and her friend the Additive…. 

 Have decided that I am the town idiot. I was thinking I was all smart and started a snark contest. And we must remember that Peppermist. She is the daughter of none other than the SNARK QUEEN. I didn’t have a chance. So now when things are said. “I know!  It’s because. Auntie is the town idiot, ask her how it feels.” Whatever!!!!!!

but the other little turd niece the Pup… she was here for a few day’s last week. And they found the cherries that I thought I had hidden enough for dinner. WRONG PRONG! So when she came running over to let me know that it

“LOOKS LIKE A HEART AUNTIE!” I was told I MUST take a picture to share…..

Not sure if that is a heart or a butt…. But she looks happy about holding a butt.

Here is why it is hard to get any chores done in my house. LOL… not the kids. It is because the Dog tells me what I can and cannot do…..

Not that I mind. I mean look how cute she is….

I shared a while ago how cool my oldest Dude is getting…. well look at today. He was taking time to share with the little ones how to beat something on a D.S. Now I don’t have any of these in my house. Don’t like them BUT the kids have played with them in many places. And when the little one G~bear comes over. He brings his. so… that means the kids pile around it and enjoy laughing and learning together. But how cool that he is even letting them into his space. SO NEW!!!!!!! He is growing I tell you. Growing and changing.

I hope that you all have a wonderful day. I know that I have had an amazing week. And it is only going to get better.

I am not so sure that is how I feel.  But than again!

 I can tell you that rain is OH SO GOOD for my garden. Just look at my rhubarb.

My FLOWERS are LOVING the attention a good watering will give…..

But training in it….. NOT SO MUCH!

I would show you a picture. But to tell you the truth… I didn’t go anywhere. So I am not wet.  So there are no pictures to share. Hee hee… I will ride my bike today. BUT I will be doing it in the comfort, or lack there of, in my OWN HOME!

That is why I payed for the trainer after all… Okay not really. I did it so that I would be able to train in the winter. LOL. I will get out there. But not when it is raining this hard.

I know I have talked about it before…. but I have to say it again. If my journey of weight loss was to help ONE PERSON… than I have done it for a good reason. Thats what I told the reporter when she was asking me all those questions about why I was willing to talk to her and why I had done it. And and and. Here I am a year out. And I have met people all along the way. I have been blessed to personally help some. While others have done it on their own. I met just one of those women this past Saturday.

D~fly and I have been training for our Triathlon together. Rain or shine we try to get out and well, TRI! This Saturday was no exception when it came time for our run. The difference was that we were in a race. The Family fun in the midnight sun. FUN RUN! It is done on Solstice morning every year about 17 miles from our house.

He was so nervous. Talked to me all week about how worried he was that he wouldn’t place. I kept telling him. “It isn’t about win or lose. This is about doing YOUR PERSONAL BEST! You haven’t done a race this long before so let us just get out there and do it with a smile.” Also there was the reminder that his age group was 18 and under.

I have always looked at changing the lives of others…. BUT I never looked right inside my own home. I have changed lives here too. Most of it for the better. they all eat healthier. They all take the time to eat their veggies first. They would rather have the leaner meat than that of the normal COW! They take their OWN lunches because of the unhealthy choices that are offered at school. That was all because I CHANGED the way I eat. The way I think. The way I DO THINGS. It has changed THEM forever. : )

They are more active and that is why D~Fly has made the decision to try out Tri’ing. So I know you are wondering were all this is going… it sounds like a big loop of nothing…

D~Fly ran that race with a furry that I have never seen. He was worried in one spot but I cheered him on from my side of the loop …2 min behind him…. He had an older man behind him wanting to know if all that cheering was for him or my son. I told him it was for BOTH of them. They were doing wonderful and I was proud of them.

D~Fly came in with a screaming 25:32 second time for a 3 mile race. His longest race so far. He was able to pull out a 3^rd place win in the 18 and under group. I am so proud of him. And were I came in 4 minutes and 10 seconds behind him, I was fast enough to pull out a 1^st place in my “Old lady” age group. Am I happy with the time? Sort of. It wasn’t what I wanted. But the trail wasn’t all that I expected either. Wasn’t what I trained for. A LOT OF HILLS! But I wasn’t ready to stop running either. It was a great pace for a marathon. that is what I have been training for. So … might have to rethink all that… LOL…

Now before the race ever began a friend of mine from High school came over and asked if she could pray with me. That made my day. And with her came someone new that I had never met. She said she had been reading a lot about me and was so proud to say that she had lost 40 pounds so far. That she couldn’t wait to be a runner…. But I have something to say here….

SHE IS A RUNNER!!!!!!!!!!!!

She ran the race with a great time. And she had a smile on her face. When she was running the home stretch I was there with J. and we were able to yell her in. and when we said run it in hard. SHE DID! So my dear. If you ever get to read this. KNOW that you are a runner. You are a WINNER. Your life is changing and you are the one in control of that. Congratulations on the success that you have had… and for all the future success you CREATE! I wasn’t kidding when I said you can and should compete in the tri. I know that you will do amazing in it.

Thank you for letting me have some small part in helping you make the change.

As soon as the results are up on in the newspaper. I will let you all know.
