This blog is by me, Carolyn Denise, your Approachable Accessible Author. My desire is to inspire you each day to get up and live! I have survived a number of setbacks and so have you and the rest of the world. Some get up and get moving, some succumb to their setbacks, and some oscillate between the two. You must get up and keep moving, and I am here to encourage you. All of my books are inspirational, humorous, and just plain real. Order your copies at www.CarolynDenise.com

Today was a great week> I was able to stay focused on my food choices and see a reduction on the scale.
Good Morning, I have just completed DVD number 3 of the Shun T “Insanity” series and you guys know what, well you have to try it for yourself. I survived 28 min of a 40min program, but I do feel stronger in just three days. Pretty soon I will be strong enough to survive the full 40 min, hooray. I will document my weight each Tuesday. Today my 7 yr old granddaughter exercised with me and she completed the whole 40 minutes. Go Mikah!!!
Congrats! on the 28 min. girl just watching the commerical and I was tired (LOL!) Anyway I am going back to the gym starting Monday I can't wait for a partner I must do this myself. Its not easy but who said it would be. Girl truly pray for me I got to do this for me and my health. I must go to look up some low fat/calorie meals. The song I am singing now is Porrrrtion Control. Have a bless day and keep it going.
What gym will you be joining? We will keep each other in check. The weight Watchers plan really helps with portion control, and I love the encouragement I receive at the meetings. Just remember if you only lose 1 pound per week, at the end of a year it is still a loss of 52 pounds. Stay encouraged! CD

I worked out three days this week all at the YMCA! Today I start swim lessons and I will post my before picture up today as well. Me, in my swimsuit, now you know I am free to post all that blubber up for you all to see. I am free, free to laugh at and with me. “Cause I’m a woman baby with my value regained.’ Pick up your copy of “Cause I’m a Woman” at www.CarolynDenise.com
Things are not moving along as quickly as I would have liked but they are moving. I do have my fat pictures ready to post and will have my sons help get those loaded on the site. Faith without works is dead!
They say slow and steady wins the race, but I am sure ding-dongs do not help. Pray for me, please! I really am going to post my before picture up, all 236.8 pounds because I have faith that as I have conquered so many giants in my life, this one too shell fall. I stand with you against your giants as well! Love ya, CD
Okay I am down from 239.4 to 228.2 as of today 11.27.2012. I am happy with the progress and I need to get those before pictures posted. Someone please remind me to take care of that this weekend. Don't give up on yourself, slow and steady wins the race.
Ok it is true I have not worked as hard as I should have to get healthy. I am now 225 lbs. I started the insanity series and hip hop abs today 03/25/2013. I am trying to get my pics uploaded but I keep getting the message, "file to large" however they will be posted this week. I will post new pics each month and new weight each Monday. Please keep me in your prayers as i continue to say no to junkfood, candy, cakes, ice cream etc....
I had my first shakeology drink today and I must admit it wasn't bad. I guess I can do this once a day. I have committed to trying it for at least a month. Today is the beginning of my 3rd day w/o junk food and I am still suffering through withdrawals. I find myself thinking more on why I grab the chips, candy etc sometimes it’s just boredom. Yesterday I wanted to chew on something crunchy while watching television; however I did not grab chips but fruit. I am making a number of changes over the next 30 days: no junk food, exercise at least 30 minutes each day, and to replace one meal with shakeology, and most importantly pay attention to my life, the choices I make, and why. Day number 3, it’s gonna be a grand day! Carolyn Denise
