I'm at an age when many women believe their best years are behind them. I hope to convince my "Sisters" that many more of those "best years" are waiting to be lived! I'm living proof it is never to late to live them. Not to long ago I weighed nearly 200 pounds and was being treated for a long list of obesity related medical problems. Thankfully there came a point in my life when I decided to keep my self promises. When I did...my life opened to a world of possibilities.

Saturday's here and so am I!

Its overcast and those clouds look as if they might contain snow. It would be a welcome change from the rain. Afterall it is Mid November and Minnesota. So many folks are eager for a good blanket of snow.

Thanksgiving Weekend is normally the kickoff to ski season. The prognosis is pretty bleak. But eventually we will get the winter conditions all are waiting for. (And as sure as winter falls--come March we will all be struck with terrible cases of Cabin Fever and the desire for spring. Humans we are so fickle.)
In the meantime--the warmer weather is great on the heating bills.

An update on my ER visit. Today I'm feeling lots better. The pain is now located in my stomach area. This is a great sign. Especially when the pain is eased by taking Maalox my new favorite suppliment. My tooth pain is finally getting under control and in a few minutes my son and I are heading to the gym.
Hey I know I said I was going to take two free days...but, how can I miss a date with my boy?

Tonight I have a date with my husband. We'll be attending the PAVSA art aution in Duluth. Its an annual event to raise money to aid victims of sexual assault. Its such a serious subject and a great community effort to combat the problem. The auction is also a lot of fun. We are the auctioneers. One of my co-anchors and I will attempt to do an auctioneer's chant to sell the art work...my wonderful husband will be the ring man. He's the one that goes out into the audience an convinces them to bid and bid again!

This will be our third year working the event. I can't wait--its a pretty glamorous night (cocktail dresses now thanks to BFL, a much smaller cocktail dress for me) and its for a great cause!

My fourth BFL challenge ends nearly next week. I am really looking to challenge number five.
I'm thinking its finally time to grow up and get control of my free day binging.(Yes that means you Ben and Jerry's...you will no longer be my favorite Sunday Night date.) It's the only thing holding me back from the results I know I can have on this program.

BFL works if you work BFL.
Have a great weekend...do what ever it takes to make tommorrow a better day in your life and in the lives of those you love.
