About Me

My photo
I lost 103 pounds without surgery, and there was great rejoicing! However - over the last year and a half, life got in the way. Between serious bouts of fibromyalgia and debilitating migraines, I gained some weight, and found myself feeling dumpy, frumpy, and most definately in a slump. 2012 is over and the time has come to dump that frump slump, release the excess weight, change my attitude, and be and feel fabulous! This journey is about more than just weight loss. It is about facing and releasing all things that hold us back from living life to the fullest each and every day. Make the most of what you have, and live a "seize the moment" lifestyle. Join me on my journey, and dump your own slumps - whatever they may be. Welcome to Fabulous!

2011 - What A Year It Will Be

2010 is over.  Obvious statement though that may be, for me, it is beyond over.  It is:
  • Cancel
  • Clear
  • Delete  
There were plenty of positive aspects to that year. The second half in particular included wonderful experiences, adventures, clarity, and new opportunities. 

The first half though - well, despite a few shining moments, suffice it to say again - Cancel, Clear, Delete.  I'm resolved to think of it as my chance to let go (something I am learning to do better). 

2010 - Thanks for the memories and lessons. However - Done, Over, Basta. Cancel, Clear, Delete.


2011 - As with most of humanity, it is with excitement and anticipation that I greet this new year. It feels great already. 

How did this new and wonderous year arrive?  Quietly with a family dinner on the eve, and with a continued quiet day at home on the 1st.  The quiet was not a result of overindulgence, but rather one last day of dark clouds, winter hibernation,  and peace before this New Year really gets into gear.

Today - I awoke to a stunning winter sunrise. The icy cold has completely cleared the air. 

And in that clarity - things look so bright again.
