Hello Old Friend...

Happy New Year! 

It has taken me almost 35 years to figure out what I want from this so called life I live. Let me explain how I may have found it!
3 years ago to the day, I began a new life style. I was overweight, unhealthy and depressed when one day in December I was watching an episode of Dr. Phil (which I had never watched before) when he was introducing The Pink Method. It was a program in which nutrition and exercise worked together to achieve results to a healthier lifestyle. Something in me resonated with this and I ordered it immediately. I had NEVER ordered anything via TV before, so this was a leap of faith for me.
Let me tell you I learned more about myself following that program than I had ever in my life. I didn't know how I had been poisoning myself with "food" and aging my body by not moving it enough. And I learned that I LOVED learning all these things and LOVED passing my successes over to others to have the same success!
I lost 28+ pounds that year and got in great shape and kept it off... until September 2014-December 2014. My family purchased a house that we needed to turn into a home and with NO kitchen for over 3 months - 20 pounds have jumped back on.
So Fitness and Health is my 2015. Not only will I lose 20 pounds, I will regain my fitness & mental strength, run a half marathon, all while sharing my journey with whomever wants to join me. I know that this is the direction I need to take my life..
This is my journey....

What's New... Puppy Dog?

That's right... it happened!

 We have a new addition to welcome to the Lehr Family!

This here is Tiny Barrett Ambrosia Lehr!

Just like my precious Baxter Lee, Tiny is a Chorkie and around 2 years old. He loves kisses. Well really just licking your face! We adopted him today at a recue shelter in Frankfort KY.

This addition has put the biggest smile on my face. And Mark surprised me by getting the afternoon off to go with Zachary and I to pick him up... I am a luck girl. I am now surrounded by 4 boys.

 

 

How Should I Start My Very First Blog?

I ask this question to myself as I stare at my computer screen. Where does one begin with story telling, life sharing, etc. So I will start with what is now.

I am a woman, a wife, a step mother, among many other things. I love my family. I'm one of those corny ladies that just loves being married, but its who I'm married to that I love the most.

Balancing life hasn't been without hard times and at times tears. Currently I am a Merchandise Coordinator for Vince Camuto, Nike & The Jones Group. I also help with caring for Sarah, my 88 year old friend twice a week. I am a freelance makeup artist when time allows. I keep a mean schedule!
Before all my part time jobs, I was in retail management as a Store Manager, Sales Manager, and Sales Associate for over 14 years. Though I have multiple positions and at times it gets difficult to juggle, I love the simplicity of creating my own schedules and working with the different people daily.
What I want to get back out of these blogs is simple... I want to write, to give ideas, to share experiences with those who might think they are alone. To share myself and my family and let go.
