McKinli Graduates! - #61





I was growing concerned that McKinli was going to be able to complete her credits online and have baby Titan before Graduation Day but as always....McKinli pulls it off. I was very proud of her. It is hard enough to make sure you get all your credits in besides doing it pregnant almost her whole senior year AND having the baby early (that was not planned) so that she could walk with her class. Very proud moment for all of us. Good job Kinli!

90 Days to a Better Me


Today is Monday, May 18, 2009. No, it is not the first of the month. It is not even the beginning of the day but rather 4:16 p.m. Most of us start our goals at the beginning of a year, month, week or at least the morning. I am defying all of those rules ande I will surpass all expectations!! Let me explain.

I have had enough! I am 43 years old. I now weigh XXX lbs. Not the heaviest I have weighed but certainly not where I am happy. I used to consider myself "average" and I am now realizing that "average" is not where I want to be nor is it my potential. I have had so many tell me what "POTENTIAL" I have until it makes me nausaeted just to type the word.

While beating myself up today and feeling so unhappy with how I have let myself go, I made the decision to take the next 90 days and see how powerfully I can turn myself around in that short time. I am inpatient and so even NINETY DAYS seems like an eternity. However, I will be ninety days older in ninety days but will I be more miserable or can I turn on the power and focus and create the person I know I can be?

My goal is to record the next 90 days through all the challenges, celebrations, stress, joy, and daily obstacles. Who will I be in 90 days? Can I truly make a powerful turn around? We have all seen the reality shows such as "The Biggest Loser" and what they accomplish in 17-20 weeks but what if you have 12 weeks and you have the goal of losing weight PLUS other goals? Well, this is my journey. Come along with me and see if maybe we can create a new life in just 90 days. I have listed 90 things for the 90 days. I have numbered them on each entry and they are in NO particular order of importance but I did record them on the days I actually started or accomplished them.

IF I SHAKE HANDS WITH MYSELF IN 90 DAYS (plus a few days added for sick leave-Sept 5, 2009) who will I be???? I
