New Blog...

I had a blog. I blogged quite a bit. Then I stopped. Actually I stopped doing a lot of things and started letting my busy life control me. I wasn't doing bad things. I was just busy. Kids, work, life, volunteering, school boards, etc... All of a sudden I realized I hadn't blogged in over TWO.YEARS.

But I feel that I am in a different place (good place) than where I was. I'm still improving, aren't we all, but I decided to start fresh with a new blog, also I cannot for the life of me get into my old blog. it's still there, but it's under my 17 year old sons gmail? Anyway, here is the link to read the old, I just unfortunately in that time have changed email and don't want to access it through my sons. Not sure how his got linked to it in the first place anyway...  http://thoughtsofval.blogspot.com/

So starting fresh. I'm doing this in many areas of my life. I started as a Coach with Beachbody in April, just about 6 weeks ago. I've changed my eating and exercising habits. I used to run half marathons, but blink and TWO YEARS goes by, and I found myself with a waist bigger than that same 17 year old son (who isn't my "little" boy anymore). I've changed my daily devotions and church. I'm trying to change our spending habits. Trying to stay focused daily. Call it mid life (although I'm only 39), or call it what it really is, trying to better myself and be a better role model for my family. 

I LOVE the Beachbody company and product. I've been using Shakeology and I've quit living off two pots of coffee a day. I have more energy. I've been working out instead of napping on my lunch. And I love that they are there to support other people. 

I also love the new church I'm attending - shout out to Thornapple Valley Church. I love the friends that I am surrounded by and the closeness I've found with my family. Life is not perfect, but LIFE.IS.GOOD! I won't wait another two years to blog, so I hope you'll follow my journey to stay ENERGIZED FOR LIFE!
