Well it's been a while ...

Well it's been quite awhile since I wrote on this blog. I still love to sew, but life has been busy and so I have not kept up posting everything but I will.
 I decided to expand my horizons and for the last 4 years I have been a Health Coach with Take Shape For Life. I lost 60 lbs on this wonderful program! I used to be tired everyday after work and had plantar fasciitis so bad my foot was in a cast, twice. I had asked my Dr. if losing weight would help it? He said no, you will suffer with this for the rest of your life. I had resigned myself to probably living a short life as I felt miserable. So my husband (also over weight at the time) saw a commercial and talked me into finding out about this plan with him. We had tried several other plans and failed. He said, let's try it, and if this does not work we will just die fat! I said ok. We started on the plan in January! And stuck with it, of course there were days we were very compliant and others we were not. But we just kept plugging along. Then in April, at Easter, 2 of our children came home from College and saw us. ( We had not really told them what we were doing.) Our daughter said, " I don't think I have ever seen you 2 this small!) We both lost about 40 lbs each by then. This daughter was so impressed she said she wanted to do it. She was living in Idaho at the time and we are in San Diego, Ca area. Our coach had talked to us and said, "you were so successful on this plan, would you like to help others, and become a health coach? I at first said no, but when our Daughter said she wanted to do the plan, I decided to become a coach for her. So in may we had 1 client! Needless to say she went back up to college, and lost 60 lbs! In June we had so many of our friends that saw us lose the weight and we had 9 clients the next month. You know the best part of this whole journey is that I feel so great! I have so much more energy, I like the way I look and my feet are soooo much better!  I am 55 now and feel like I have a new lease on life! You know when you find out something that is just fantastic, you just have to share it? That's how I feel. I have helped over 80 people!
