December is the last month let's make it worth it. Take on this 30 day challenge with me. Fitness is a Life Journey. Remember it will take time. You will have bad days don't give up. Eat healthy stay calm it will work if you want it to. Let the fun start.
Day one is over remember abs are made in the kitchen not in the gym. This counts for a small part. Don't let your hard work go to waste. Make it mean something.
Good Luck!

Happy Thanksgiving for a family
Holidays are hard on a lot of families not being together money problems and just life gets in the way sometimes. Hubby and I purchased a Thanksgiving dinner for a family that needed a little help. They work but like a lot of families have a hard time deciding what bills to pay vs. food. We decided a longtime ago that if we had extra to give we would. We have kept that promise to ourselves to help. Opening our non-profit business is taking forever. In the meantime as a family we are helping all the time. We don't want anything in return for helping anyone that needs it. I love knowing that someone needed help and received it. It puts a smile on their face as well as ours. This Thanksgiving meant a lot to us. It never fails that our kids keep us laughing. When they were asked what they were thankful for Justin says "He is thankful it's not 1621!" They didn't have bathrooms then or toilet paper. I'm glad it's the simple things in life he appreciates. I'm thankful for spending time with my family and friends. We went to my Aunt's house bless her heart was in the hospital. She was able to come home later that night. The apartment complex she lives in puts on Thanksgiving in the courtyard. Everyone brings a dish mingles and eats delicious food. It's getting a little less weird having Thanksgiving outside as the years go by. The day was beautiful as well as all the new people I ran into. Life is a Journey you live in. Make the last month of 2014 count for something you can be proud of. My accomplishments this year may not be materialistic but they did change someone's life.
