Blog Hop coming up!
I'm going to be participating in a Blog Hop next weekend. There will many opportunities to win great prizes, and hopefully a great way of finding those little "gems" in the blog world.
It's going to happen next weekend, so keep checking back for information and the links to other great blogs.
As you visit the blogs on the hop, you can register to win prizes at each stop. At the same time, you will be able to come in contact with the different blogs and might find a great new spot to frequent.
I'm excited to be a part of this, and I'm hoping you will want to take a look at all the great blogs out there.
Look for more details next week!
Love Always,
Kris

Book Reviewer - A New Credit to the Resume...
Hello, Look at my cool award! Deirdra Eden-Coppel from astorybookworld.blogspot.com
thinks I have a pretty cool blog! Thanks Deirdra! I'm loving yours as well!
SO today I was asked to become a book reviewer for a Virtual Book Tour Company run by Tristi Pinkston, LDS Author (among her many talents). I'm so excited to get involved. Within a couple of hours of accepting, I already have my first assignment. YAY!
So keep checkin back with me over the next month. This will be my second time doing a book review. I was able to be a stop on Tamara Heiner's Blog Tour last year. I'm really looking forward to getting my feet wet and of course getting to read lots of books! Thanks, Tristi!
Oh and BTW, a follow-up to the last post....I've already lost 3 lbs! Yay me!
As Always,
Thanks for listening~

Taking care of...myself? That's such a hard thing to do!
I'm extremely busy. Working full time, school full time, church activity calling, driving son to and from boy scouts, housework, laundry, grocery shopping, dinner...I could go on and on..So having time to take care of ME...has never been on my radar. So the decision to make time for my own health and losing weight is very difficult, but necessary.
I've never been able to think about myself. I always feel guilty. But, I do realize that being unhealthy does take away from my family's time with me. SO, I want to take control and get in shape.
The hardest part is finding the motivation to keep going when the finish line is SO FAR AWAY!..
I'm so embarassed that I let myself get to this point in my weight. Especially coming from a background of 18 years of coaching cheerleading and teaching the girls on my teams to take care of themselves and stay in shape. I mean, really, what kind of example have I been in my life, being the overweight cheer coach?
I think that is one of the reasons I finally retired from coaching. I lost my confidence. I've always loved coaching, and I think I was pretty good at it. But, the more weight I gained the harder it was to build up the courage each time to get in front of a group of fit girls and instruct them in dance and cheer.
Another thing I've realized is that I need help. I need someone to be accountable to...so I'm hoping that my friends and family can help with that. I'm going to need tips and tricks and inspiration. Some encouragement and reminders that I'm worth the effort when I mess up and get depressed... I'll try to keep you guys updated regularly on my progress, but if I don't PLEASE ASK! Make me accountable!
I know that losing the weight will help my think clearer, breathe better, and enjoy being with my family more without being so tired. AND I can go on roller coasters again! HAHA....
So...Here we go! :)
