The Secret to Weight Loss Success:Every Choice

I am losing weight.  As of today, from my very heaviest, I have lost twenty pounds. For years I was desperate to lose. I honestly started a new diet every monday morning.  When I heard of someone succeeding in losing weight, I would search for their “secret” to weight loss success.

Now I know the secrets and I will share them with you.

1. Every single choice you make, matters. 

2. When you think you can’t do any more, try harder.

Motivational Speaking

My Motivational Speaking!

I am a motivational speaker who has worked all over the Midwest and beyond. I have been a featured speaker and work shop facilitator for many different types of groups. I use humor, music, and a positive mental attitude to motivate and entertain

 Many groups and organizations are attracted to my work as a health care motivational speaker (I am a nurse!). Some see the advaantages of a female motivational speaker.

Either way, I would like to give you the opportunity to get to know me better by visiting my speaking website! You can get to know me better, watch a video of my work, and read some of my blog entries there.

I Am a Bold Woman

I am a Bold Woman.

I seize life with an open mindset believing that my true potential is unknown (an unknowable);

believing that it is impossible to foresee all the triumphs I can accomplish

with years of passion, toil, and training.

I view my basic qualities as only starting points

so there is no reason to hide deficiencies or surround myself with only those who will

shore up my self esteem.

Instead I seek out and embrace  people and life challenges that will

stretch and encourage me to be all I  am called to be.

This is what I Know:

Christine will graduate from high school in May. We moved back to the United States 7 years ago in June 03 when Christine was 11 and Sofi was 6. In the past years we renovated a 100 year old house, I attended and graduated from nursing school. My speaking career has been reborn, I’ve written a book.I’ve quit smoking, gained and lost numerous pounds, and had a variety of haircolors. We’ve had about 104 sleepovers, overall serving about 156 giggling girls, 93 pizzas and 162 bags of doritos. I’ve survived one set of teenage years and will soon begin my second and last set with Sofi.

Making Memories

Every December my girls and I pile into the car, get hot chocolate, and drive around town looking at Christmas lights. We chat, laugh, comment, say silly things and when we get home we all comment on how nice it was to be together.

This Thanksgiving my daughters and I spent alone, without extended family. We ate a traditional meal. Focused the majority of our eating on dessert with three types of Ben and Jerry’s ice cream, a cheesecake, and a chocolate torte. We laughed and groaned about eating too much. Played a new card game and went to a great movie. It was a terrifically wonderful day.
