Recovery Thru Fitness
Submitted by: sonjamqueen
My most important fitness accomplishment was regaining my life thru exercise/strength training after a severe auto accident. There were numerous injuries/obstacles to overcome. Doctors said I would need surgery and would not be able to do certain things, like picking up over 20 lbs. and I had a 3 & 6 yr old. I couldn¿t imagine not being able to do simple every day things. When I was brought to the ER, I flat-lined so obviously I¿m here for a reason, so giving up wasn¿t an option. Once I was able to move on my own, I slowly started to walk. Figured one step at a time would add up. Sure I had set backs, pain of doing daily things were overwhelming at times. Exercise had been a way of life since I was 17 so I knew I had to get my muscles working again to recover. Slowly I began rebuilding, both physically and mentally. Amazing how cardio exercise changes a negative emotion into a calming ¿I can do anything¿ mentality. Weight training allowed me to strengthen and rebuild muscle. Things that I couldn¿t do well due to my injuries got better. Not only did I NOT have surgery, I exceeded MY goals. It¿s our choice to stay strong & fit so we can endure things that come our way. Exercise makes the difference in how I feel about me, a secret I discovered long ago. It¿s my ¿anti-depressant, feel good, I¿m in control, yes I can¿ secret thru physical recovery, heartaches, divorces and everyday stresses of life. I hope this will give encouragement to anyone facing difficulties.

Giveaway at Magical Memories
Hey everyone, in case you don't know LeAnn over at Magical Memories is my sister-in-law. So I always know when she's doing an awesome giveaway, and this is defiantly one of those times. So go HERE to enter!
Weekend
So we had a hectic weekend! We took the girls to the play ground on Saturday, which we haven't done yet so that was fun. The girls loved the slides but didn't care too much for the swings. Then Sunday it was my dad's 60th birthday cookout, OMG the wind would not stop blowing. Tin foil went flying everywhere, the balloons were going crazy. So after about an hour of that we moved everything back inside. Next year we'll just go to a nice restaurant. LOL I have tons of photos but haven't had the chance to even take them off my memory card. I hope to have them up soon.

In honor of Saint Patrick's Day, I wanted to post some photos of my trip to Ireland back in May of 2006. My dad and I took a trip to England, Ireland, Scotland, and wales, a trip I will never forget. These were in Kilkenny Ireland, and somewhere else, not sure we saw so many Loch's they began to run together LOL
