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.

Congratulations Joyce

Congratulations to all of my 12 week online challengers:) You can see pictures on my homepage of Heather-Bear.com.

The 2 top winners prove that age is just a number. I tried loading them onto my blog but or some reason I can't:( I have better luck w/ this blog than I do with facebook-which is scary! LOL

You are all probably getting ready for school to start. My girls are so excited to get new lunch boxes, backpacks and school supplies. I can remember how exciting it was for the first day of school. Now that the kids are back in school everyone needs to take time for themselves-all you need is 1 hour a day. YOU CAN DO IT.

I wanted ot share a few pics. We didn't get to go on a vacation this summer since Alizabeth was a newborn but we had family from out of town visit us-which was a blast. My grandma finally got to give Titus his apple. I had to bring him on the porch but it was well worth it. Sometimes we have to go out of our way to make people happy but the rewards are great. It's also the same for going to the gym. The rewards and hard work pay off.

When you don't want to go to the gym, email a friend or even me for motivation-I will help.

Have a great weekend.

Heather

Every MOM needs this kind of CAKE

This is the best cake ever given to me by a DEAR FRIEND/Client Joyce. It's made of diapers and Lord knows all babies need them.

I will be posting the winner of my 12 week challenge next week:) I'm excited to see all the before/after pictures.

I also have a client competing tomorrow in Arizona. She is in Master's and open figure. Best of all she's a MOM and is going to show ladies that you can be a mom and step onstage-it's all about going after your goals.

Well it's hotter than HOT here in Indiana. The girls are loving the pool this summer. Alizabeth is growing-finally out of preemie clothes. I can't believe school starts in less than a month-where does the time go?

I hope you are all staying cool and working out even during these hot summer days. I took a day off this week to go to a concert so I'll be making up that workout today:) Never make excuses just get it done!!!!!!!!

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.
