Good morning!

I have exciting news to report about my weigh-in this morning. First, let me back up a bit… In March, I joined a Facebook’s Biggest Loser challenge, which started on April 1st. I submitted my starting weight on March 28th. Today was our first weigh-in (weigh-ins will be every Monday). Since submitting my starting weight (11 days ago), I have lost 3.6 lbs! I’m ecstatic. The four weeks prior, I had only lost 3 lbs. So losing 3.6 lbs in a week and a half is a huge…

It’s time for an update. I’m excited to write this post, mostly because I’m in the mood to write, but also because I’m happy to share my accomplishments in my health.

I mentioned in my last post that I wasn’t losing any weight. And that was true. Since October 11th (almost 3 months), I hadn’t lost any weight and actually gained one pound from all the strength training I’ve been doing. BUT, I have GREAT news! I weighed in yesterday for a weight loss challenge group I’m in and the scale…

On October 31st, I weighed in for the first time in three weeks. Normally I weigh in once a month. But I signed up for a Facebook weight loss challenge and decided to weigh in on the dates of the challenge. When I weighed in on October 31st, I was exactly the same as three weeks before! That told me I was maintaining my weight and not losing any more weight. Because I’m still considered obese, maintaining my weight scared me. How can I be obese and following a healthy diet and not lose…

It’s time for an update! I don’t even know where to begin because so much has happened. In my last update (about one month ago) I was hoping I would start exercising again. Well, I am pleased to announce that I have! On October 31st, I joined a weight loss challenge and did my first workout. Since then, I have worked out every day except for two days. In addition to the challenge, I joined a Facebook group for losing weight, and I’ve been reading posts of Facebook pages of people who are…

For years I grumbled about not being published, how disappointed I was with all the rejections I received (and there were hundreds), how much I wanted a chance to show what I could do.

Well, my friends, I think that day has arrived. I am late with a submission to an agent, and writing my fingers off, and frying my brain in order to complete a contracted book. 

All I can say is this: Watch what you wish for. You might just get it.

Not to say I'm not happy with all of this…

Life has been busy as of late, I just finished the third book of my new series, and now I am mapping out my newest creation. With three kids I am never at a lack of things to do, but I am also working hard to expand myself as a writer and a reader. I recently made a confession on my home blog. As a…

I finished my first book and I am feeling good.  So as you know I chose Ice by Linda Howard as my first book.
