It's All in FUN!

Today my daughter had a birthday celebration at a Go Kart Raceway. What FUN we had, in the photo above we just began racing. I waited for her to get started so that the race would be fair and she darted past me right away. We took the curves so fast that at one point she crashed into the rail trying to get away from me. Round and around we went I was on her heels all the way.

Unfortunately, I was never able to actually pass her. She was able to maintained her lead and came in first. Had I not waited for her she would have never been able to catch up with me, ha-ha-ha. We'll have to go back for a rematch!!!

Fall FITNESS Fling Meetup ROUND-UP!

Summer will be coming to an end this weekend with all the Labor Day festivities. For a lot of us that means that we will not be as active, we'll start eating warmer heavier foods like beans, soups and stews. What I've notice and some of my friends even agree is that once summer ends we start to pick up a few pounds here and there. Next thing you know it's the holidays and we pick up a few more pounds and by the beginning of the year we've got an extra eight to ten pounds or MORE! If you're under weight, no problem but of course that's not the case for many Americans, lol...

Therefore, let's have a Fall FITNESS Fling Meetup.com ROUND-UP!!! What's that you say? Well it's like Spring Fling only in the fall. Let's Round-up as many people as we can to meetup two or three times a month to stay motivated, encouraged and ACCOUNTABLE! The best way to maintain our HEALTHY lifestyle is to have support and be accountable. Why not have fun and make new friends along the way. I have two Meetup.com groups one is for everybody: http://www.meetup.com/FabulouslyFitFifty/ and the other is for SINGLES: http://www.meetup.com/FF50-Singles-Meetup-ROCK/ Together we can get through the holidays without doing as much damage as we would alone. Can't wait to see you. Abundant Blessings from FITNESS Focused FAITH!

HISTORIC Weekend August 24, 2013

On Saturday, tens of thousands of people celebrated the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington, which in 1963 culminated in Martin Luther King's delivery of the "I Have a Dream Speech." This year, the crowd that retraced King's steps to the Lincoln Memorial heard from Attorney General Eric Holder, Democratic congressman John Lewis (who was the youngest speaker at the original march), Martin Luther King III, Jesse Jackson Sr., Al Sharpton, and the parents of Trayvon Martin, among others. 

Issues on the agenda included the continuing fight for civil rights, Supreme Court's recent decision to strike down a major part of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, Stand Your Ground Laws, Trayvon Martin, and racial profiling. Speaking about King and his cohort, Holder said, "But for them, I would not be attorney general of the United States, and Barack Obama would not be president of the United States of America ... Fifty years later, their march is now our march, and it must go on." Lewis, recalling his time as a leader of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, said, "I gave a little blood on that bridge in Selma, Alabama, for the right to vote." He urged Congress to pass legislation to replace the requirements eliminated by the Supreme Court ruling, saying, "The vote is precious. It is almost sacred. It is the most powerful nonviolent tool we have in a Democratic society, and we've got to use it." 

This is just a little from the historic events that began this weekend which started Friday with the unveiling of  the commemorative postage stamp. There will be more throughout the week with President Obama speaking on Wednesday, August 28, 2013 (which also happens to be my oldest daughter's 35th birthday). 

FF50 Singles Meetup ROCKS!

Welcome to the HEALTHIEST Singles Meetup on the PLANET!!!

This is for all the Fabulously Fit 50 - FF50 "SINGLES" out there that want to me a Workout Honey, lol... About five or six years ago after I had dropped about 45 or 50 lbs I felt like I was ready to start dating so like most people I joined three or four of the more popular online dating sites. Talk about a disappointment and waste of MONEY!!! After about a year and a half of that I swore off of dating sites for good.  

In 2011, I learned about Meetup.com and started using it to attend women's social events to learn how to network. There's a lot of FABULOUS Meetup activities to attend but I haven't seen one geared towards the Fabulously Fit 50 crowd so as usual I thought I'd give it a try. Here's FF50 Singles Meetup ROCKS!: http://www.meetup.com/FF50-Singles-Meetup-ROCK/

I put together a Facebook page with the same name: 
https://www.facebook.com/FF50SinglesMeetupROCK?ref=hl We will talk about the benefits of Singles getting HEALTHY and Fit together, how and where to meet other Fitness Singles. Please stop by and 'Like' my new page and feel free to 'Share' it on your facebook page with others.  I think it will be FABULOUS having someone to workout with, don't you?!?! Thanks & Abundant Blessings!

A Women, A Lover, A Friend...

Here's there song "A Women, A Lover, A Friend" for your listening pleasure. http://youtu.be/M2FMi-O1eyo

He shared seven photos of his wife of 32 years, now that's LOVE!!! How many of us can say our spouse shared ((7)) photos of us on someone else's facebook page??? I think she must be his... A Women, A Lover, A Friend! Here's Stephanie at age 55.

Here's Stephanie now at age 59.

What a beautiful spirit they both must have to be blessed to share 32 years of marriage! There's still hope for me yet, lol...

I'm Four Years Old NOW!

Sending a Happy Birthday Shout-out to my youngest grandson who finally turned four years old today. For weeks now he's been telling anyone that would listen to him that he was four years old but now he is!

 I called to wish him a happy birthday and he had to tell me all about the skates he got. While I was there last week we went roller skating twice on family night and had so much fun.

These are the skates he got for his birthday. I can't wait until the holidays when we all get together again and I get to see how well he's learned how to skate. Enjoy Mason, Grammie sends you lots of LOVE!!!

My Grandsons

What a time I had with my three grandsons over the last 14 days. Being with them reminded me of their mothers. My grandson in the middle here is my oldest daughter's son and the other two are my youngest daughter's sons. It was like reliving or going back in time to when my children were young, when the younger ones were always trying to keep up with the older one.

Here are their mothers, the one on the left is my youngest daughter who is the mother of my two grandsons on the left and right above. My daughter on the right is the oldest of my five children and the mother of my grandson in the middle above. My, my, my, time flies when you're having FUN!!!

FUN in the SUN!

This past weekend we went to Coco Beach and here's my oldest grandson, Ivan who has taken up surfing. He had so much fun riding the waves! Below is my grandson Idris who spent the afternoon running away from the waves!

Idris is so funny, all he talked about is going to Coco Beach and then when we get there he wouldn't let the water touch above his ankles. We'll keep trying though...

*~*~* It's WELLNESS Wednesday! *~*~*

Happy WELLNESS Wednesday! I saw these photos and remembered how I used to feel when I didn't get my Shakeology every month. Now I make sure I have mine ordered by being on Home Direct so it comes before I'm all out!

One day EVERYBODY will know about the HEALTH benefits of Shakeology and they will say it's "The Healthiest Meal of the Day!"

BabyGirl Does It Up BIG!!!

CONGRATS to my BabyGirl, Shelby! She's the second of my five children to graduate from college. Here she is with her husband Andrew after crossings the stage and being acknowledged as achieving Cum Laude in the honor program at Florida State University on Saturday August 3, 2013. She's already been accepted and started graduate school. What's next for my BabyGirl? Well today they left for her graduation cruise to the Cayman Islands and I'm watching their three children, lol...

Here I am with all my daughters, Shelby, Akoma (Tarita) & Loren. Hopefully Loren and my two sons will return to college and finish also, that's my prayer anyway! Abundant Blessings!
