February

Well my girls are growing SO fast. Alizabeth is into everything-she army crawling and puling herself up on everything. It's too funny cause Rozalee says she wants to eat everything-just like she used to do to Izabella.

The Bear Necessity Store is going great-I love it. Izabella went with my to our local farm store and helped me all day. I was so proud of her. She is my big helper at home especially with Alizabeth.

Rozalee is just a mini-me. She does everything I do. Poor Kenny, he is just out numbered! He loves it!!!

CONGRATULATIONS to Amy. My 12 week online challenge winner. She has 4 kids and still found time to workout and eat healthy. Make sure you check out her pictures on my website.

Make sure you check out my facebook page and "like" my store. If you want to receive my monthly newsletter from The Bear Necessity Store-email me. I will have monthly specials, sales and updates on where I will be set-up. Our next stop is the National Clydesdale Sale in Howe, Indiana.

Have a great Spring, I hope you received snow where you live because we didn't. I have a Clydesdale ready to pull a sleigh and NO SNOW this winter. Hope that means we will have a HOT SUMMER. I'm ready to open the pool already.

Let me know if you are looking for a trainer-either online or if you are in my area.

Have a great weekend.

Heather

Just a few Christmas pics I thought I would share.

I hope everyone is still on track with their weight loss goals. I thought I would include a favorite leg workout for me and one I give my clients. My Challenge girls just received it!!! and many of my other clients have also done this one-including myself.

Legs -
4x20 Standing Dips (put 1 leg on a chair or bench and squat down LOW SS
4x15 Walking Lunges TS
4x20 Ins and Outs on toes about the width of a large tile on your floor

4x15 Diagonal Lunges SS
4x15 Alternating Dumbbell Step ups

4x20 Pop Squats SS
4x10 Side to Side Skip Squats TS
4x20 Straight Leg Deadlift

Well I hope you are all staying motivated-if not email me and I will kick you in the butt. It's not a magic pill but just hard ass work. If it was easy our country wouldn't be obese.

Make sure you check out my facebook page for daily tips and my online Bear Necessity Store all on FACEBOOK and now Google Plus

Merry Christmas

Let me try this again-
I did this 3x the other day and it kept getting deleted.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
I can't believe it's been over a month since I have blogged. I am getting better at facebook though.
I am in the middle of my 12 week challenge. My girls are doing great. They are realizing that everyone has issues and everyone deals with them differently. No one lives a perfect life-just make do with what you have and what you have time for.
I hope you all had a great time at all your parties etc that you have already have. We celebrated my Grandma's 87th birthday-I hope I live that long! We went to our annual horse parade and even had breakfast with Santa. The girls had a blast. We even took Grandma to have breakfast and to watch the parade.
Rozalee remembered her parts in the church program but didn't sing a bit in her school program. Izabella did great in both of hers. Alizabeth played baby Jesus in the church program and just laughed and cooded the entire time she was in the manger.
Kenny is back to work finally and his leg is healing slowly. He got back in the skid steer for the first time and it blew a hydraulic line. It's a sign for him to stay off that thing:)
Kenny and I headed to a farm auction on Thanksgiving and bought a few cows to add to the herd. The sale was all over a family feud. The father passed and the kids were fighting over who got what. I bet he rolled over in his grave when he saw them auction off all of his years of hard work. Why is it when someone passes all hell breaks loose? I hope this doesn't happen in your family. It was sad to watch them auction everything off.
Be thankful for what you have and don't worry about what you don't-this is my motto. I just wasn't raised that way.
I hope you all have a great holiday.

Merry Christmas

I have tried posting something 2x and it keeps getting deleted?

Anyone else having this issue?

The Bear Necessity Store is now OPEN

Hello November and HELLO SHOPPING

Well I just started my 3rd 12 week Challenge for the year. This is the biggest one yet:) I'm so excited to see some transformations in 12 weeks.

I also have a client hitting the stage today that looks unbelievable. She had a guy/trainer try to "mess w/ her" and she's going to show him what she's made of today. Funny how trainers try to do this (not all trainers) but quite a few, just so you will train w/ them. Everyone seems to know something better than someone else. I love it when they don't even look like a trainer or a competitor. If you've never competed then don't try to pretend you know what it's like to compete.

Well I also opened the Bear Necessity Store with a web-site coming and new "stuff" coming in weekly. I just have it up on facebook so spread the word. I will ship anywhere and will also combine shipping charges. I LOVE BLING and that's what I have Bling and Crosses. Without the "Big Man" upstairs I wouldn't be able to do what I love to do. I carry purses, belts, jewerly, hats, shirts and more. Check it out-http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/The-Bear-Necessity-Store/169447466478685

Hit Like if you like it. I'm thinking about doing house parties soon. Let me know if you would be interested. I posted a sample item above.

Hope you don't eat tooo much Halloween Candy and have a great weekend. The girls had a great Halloween plus we went on a hayride (chilly evening) and we had front row on the ice tickets to Disney On Ice. Goofy came out and talked to the girls-too much fun. I lucked out on those tickets.

October

Well Halloween is almost here. It's been forever since I have blogged. I have a hard enough time w/ facebook:)

Both of the girls are loving school. Rozalee is going to be a comedian when she grows up. I have already determined that by her stories she comes up with. I never know what she is going to do or say. She can make anyone laugh.

Well I was supposed to be attending the World Clydesdale Show this weekend BUT Kenny broke his leg, so now I have 4 kids to take care of. He's being a good patient and the girls are really helping out. Izabella is my right hand!!! She is really growing up fast. She cried when we told her we wern't going and then she said as long as we can watch a movie w/ daddy adn eat popcorn-I'll be alright. OF course we did that Friday night. We are all just bummed about the trip. We have been planing on it since December last year. It only comes to the states every 5 years. Everything happens for a reason-we don't always know why but it does. You can bet we'll be showing in teh next one.

I am having another 12 week challenge. You can see my past winners and transformations on my site. Email me for details if you are interested. It's 200.00 for the 12 weeks.

I am also starting something I have been thinking about or awhile now-my own store.

Its called The Bear Necessities. I am going to carry purses, belts, jewerly, hats, beanies, dog collars to match your belts, kids belts, luggage and more. YOU KNOW IT'S ALL ABOUT THE BLING. It's going back to my country days. You will never take the country out of Heather Bear. I'll keep you posted on the items as soon as I receive them. I'm so excited. I am not going to charge and arm and a leg either-I knwo people want bling and I know people don't have the money right now BUT they have to have their BLING.

Well I need to get back to the family. Hope you enjoy my pics I did of Alizabeth-we did a little photo shoot in the yard.

End of Summer:(

This is what I hate about summer-it ENDS. I know it's over when we put the pool cover on. I hate looking at that thing. I am glad that I'm not watering flowers everyday and having to worry if the creek is flowing for the cows. Our horses are high maintence and only drink fresh water:)

There are a few of us doing the Breast Cancer walk tomorrow in Cincinnati. I haven't done it since 2004 in honor or my friend Rhoda who lost her battle and my friend Amanda-WHICH IS A SURVIVOR. I will be walking for my friend Tina and also in honor of my aunt who lost her battle in 08. It's amazing that almost EVERYONE you talk too knows someone that has or has had this ulgy disease. I know they have a cure for it but the government is making too much money on it-which is even ulglier!!!!-I don't even think that's a word but it is in my mind.

I will be doing another on-line challenge this Fall-email me for details.

I am currently helping 3 young girls and I know I can make changes to their future. It's amazing what a few small changes to your diet will do for you. I have not given these girls diets just the right & wrongs of their "food". I hope eveyone is still achieving their goals and training hard. YOU CAN DO IT.

I have attached a few pics of the girls and Rozalee's first day of pre-school. That school don't know what hit em'. She's going to be a comedian when she grows up-never know what she is going to do or say. Izabella is a big girl now in 1st grade. Alizabeth is now 3 months old and growing by the minute.

Email me if you need anything to help you achieve your goals.
