Hi everybody! It's been some time since I been on and missed you all. Some of you I see on Facebook!

I have settled in nicely in my weight loss. I even think I hit a bounce back weight. I started getting serious about exercise and been running on my treadmill at home. I think the motivation was I can eat more now and I do. So I thought picking up a routine was a good idea. Been very health conscious. My hair has grown out a lot since having it shaved to remove that nasty cycst! But letting it grow to about my shoulders. I been having fun with clothes and might try some dresses soon. I bought a bunch of skirts off ebay but haven't had anywhere to where them too and weathers been too cold. It's tough dressing up when you work at home.

Most of you know about how great my horsey life has become. I joined two equestrian groups, one family orientated for my daughter and one group called 40 Something Cowgirls. I needed that! A group of women in their 40's, 50's and 60's who are a great group of gals. After years of being so self conscious and scared to try new things due to being overweight, I am slowly coming out of my sell....heck...not slowly...jumping out! A couple of weeks ago I did a zip line. Something I would have never done before! It was awesome. I am looking into tandem skydiving next and white water rafting! lol But my biggest change is my self confidence in life!

So I wanted to share some of my newest pictures!

Of course a before:


and my picture after I did the zip line....see big smile



and a couple from Feb & March

 You look awesome and I love your gutsy attitude.  I wanted to try ziplining in Costa Rica but my husband talked me out of it.  Enjoy the view of the world when you skydive.
