Happy 4th of July

I hope everyone has a great holiday weekend. We are having Rozalee's 3rd birthday party, going to a few parades and of course fireworks. Alizabeth is doing great and so is all of the other Bears! Izabella is almost done w/ softball-thank God. I know a few parenets that get burnt out w/ sports in the summer. My ladies are doing great in their 12 week challenge, I can't wait to post the winner. I know it's hard to stick w/ a program in the summer but as long as you do the best you can do that's what matters most.

Hey just because you are dieting during the weekend holiday doesn't mean you can't have fun w/ family and friends. Trust me I will be eating and enjoying myself but I will also be up kicking my own butt in cardio and weights next week. It's all about achieveing your goals-some have bigger goals than others but we are all human. Make sure that you put your family first and dieting second. Just watch your portions this weekend-eat a little but don't over due it. Drink a glass of water in between your beer/wine. It always helps to eat before going to a party. I often drink a shake on the way so I am not as tempted to eat all the "fun food".

Well I'm off to train legs-have a great weekend and remember ENJOY YOURSELF. Also thank you to everyone that has sent cards/emails Congratulating us on Alizabeth Ellen.

Alizabeth Ellen Bear is Here:)

Well she arrived Friday 6-10-2011

She was my biggest yet at 6lbs 10 oz.

She's a great baby and hasn't even cried yet (except when they gave her a bath and took her blood). We are all doing great. I have two great helpers. They are always there at diaper changes, shaking bottles, getting clothes, blankets etc. Rozalee gets up in the middle of the night when she hears me feed her-too cute. I just hope they still like each other in about 5-7 yrs. LOL

Now it's time to get back in shape. I gained 18 pounds again and ready to hit the treadmill in the a.m. and train legs on Friday w/ a good friend from high school. Email me if you have pregnancy quesitons and training/eating clean etc. I'd love to help ya.

May is here and so is the RAIN

Wow, the first of MAY already. Softball is underway (when they can practice due to rain), calves are still being born, horses are SO muddy but we are very healthy and happy that we only received rain and not the tornadoes that a few of my clients received. We have been praying for those of you that did get hit w/ those storms. Kenny and I attended the Clydesdale National Sale and saw a little bit of the damages-unbelievable and very scary.

I have started another 12 week challenge w/ another group of very motivated and determined women. I will be holding a "REAL DEAL" 3 hour workouts, bootcamp, nutrition seminar at the Aurora Elementary w/ Gina Hall. Let me know if you are interested.

I hope you all had a great Easter and HAPPY MOTHER'S Day to all of the MOMS out there. If you have pets that counts too:) There is nothing better than being a mom-I LOVE IT. It makes my day when the girls say I love you mom or just come give you a hug and kiss-there is nothing like it. Make sure you give your mom a hug and kiss even if you are "older":)

Let me know if you are looking for a trainer either online or in my area. I'd love to help you achieve your goals.

Good Luck to all my friends that are starting in the show season. The Wassermans are kicking butt and taking names and I know Lishia is ready to hit the stage in a few weeks-she looks great by the way.

Spring has Sprung!!! Finally

It's been a busy April here in Indiana on the Bear Farm.

First off, I want to congratulate Tracy for winning my 12 week online challenge. She lost 17 pounds and 20.5 inches. All of my ladies did a great job. Congratulations to each of them. I have pictures of Tracy on my site-it won't let me load them to blogger?

I will be starting another 12 week challenge in May, if you are interested. Just email me for details.

Izabella has started softball already w/ her little sister wanting to play also. I can't believe it's time for softball, t-ball seems alot safer! She had a great birthday w/ a HUGE sleepover. We also went to the Kentucky Horse Park - which was really cool. She even lost her first tooth-she's growing up too fast. This past weekend we went to the Shriners Circus-a MUST if they come to your city. It's a great cause and great fun for the kids. It was much better than Ringley Brothers-not sure I spelled that correct?

We have started to have baby calves on the farm. My dad always said when calving becomes "not" exciting it's time to move on. Well we are so excited to see the babies in the field. I don't know how it could never be "NOT" exciting. Both Clydesdales have received their "Spring Cleaning". It took Kenny and I about 1 hour per horse to bath. My stallion went right back out there and rolled as soon as he could-he loves mud. They sure do look pretty on that green grass. IT's nice to finally sit and watch all the birds in our feeders. You can tell it's getting warmer here.

Well till next time, hope it's warming up where you live too.

Email me anytime if you have questions about anything.

March is Almost OVER

Where does the time go, we all often as ourselves this question.

Izabella will be 6 on Friday. I can't believe it-seems like I was 78 pounds overweight just the other day. We are having a sleep over again on Friday with a campfire, grill-out and Clydesdale rides-not exactly pony rides:) Rozalee will be starting pre-school in August-man time flies.

I am hoping that all of you are still sticking to your goals. We all have things, parties, family issues, games etc that come into our schedule but you have to learn how to work around them. I have been telling a few clients this week that you just have to do the best you can w/ the time you have. Make sure you have all of your food prepared ahead of time, if you are really slammed do some of your weights w/ your cardio. Don't let a bad day ruin your entire week. We are human and we all run into "issues".

I will be announcing my 12 week challenge winner next week. I am so excited for these ladies. They all need to be very happy w/ their success. I have a current online client that has totally surprised me and herself. I will be posting her pics as soon as she is finished w/ her 12 weeks.

All of my clients are "normal" ladies that work, have husbands, kids, games etc-they seem to find the time, so can you. Let me know if you need any help-I love motivating and helping others.

Have a great week and I hope it is warming up in your part of town,like it is mine. I'm ready to open the pool and get out the flowers etc.

The snow has finally melted!!!

This past weekend was the final good-bye to our SNOW:) Thank God. We had to buy another bird feeder cause the poor birds are starving in this snow. It's finally all out of my drive way. These 60 & 70 degree days are going to spoil us. I'd rather have this mud and rain any day.

Now that the weather is nice I am ready to get outside w/ my jogging stroller and Rozalee. I'm getting a little sick of doing cardio on a machine-even though I can get VERY creative!!! Just let me know if you are needing new ideas for cardio. It seems everyone was in a rut w/ this nasty winter. Most of my clients that those unmotivated days, even myself. I sure did enough baking on those snow days w/ the girls. I made them cupcakes then made myself Parrillo Protein cupcakes w/ frosting so I wouldn't put on my winter layer! What a crazy winter it was.

I did do alot of experimenting w/ new healthy recipes. It's amazing what I can come up with-I surprise myself sometimes:) LOL

I really don't have alot of anything new going on. We have 2 Clydesdales along w/ the cattle that are keeping all of us busy. Both girls are still in gymnastics. I have girls in my transformation challenge that are surprising me-I can't believe how well they have done. I'll be posting the winner in 4 weeks. Let me know if you are looking for a trainer or needing some help achieving your goals.

Have a great week
