Life has been at a whirl wind speed. I am struggling trying to keep things anchored down. The winds will let up soon, and I will have to clean up the debris and carry on.
I decided to go up for promotion this year. A big promotion. From Extension associate professor, to Extension full professor. I have realized, I work hard! I accomplish alot! I hire wonderful people! I have a great husband who supports and loves me. I have the best mom and dad who gave up tons of time to work with me on this. I have great kids who never ever complained that I was mentally and physically missing this summer.
BUT, it is 99.5% done. I have one more review from the committee. And then edits and then off it goes. Keeping my fingers crossed that all is well. But, meanwhile, I feel like it's something I am going to release and let go. I gave my best shot and fought hard. So, while I may not win out with the promotion. I know that I have done a great job of stewardship over the SNAP-Ed program.
Okay, now for debris. I have things to change in my life. I saw this awesome weight loss video today and it is motivation to me. That I will eat clean!
I can do this!

I am healthy and I am strong. I can achieve anything!

Live Fit Trainer - 12 Week Challenge (Finish Strong)
In high school I attended Girls State and there I learned a quote that I have thought about since, "Aim High, Work Hard, Finish Strong." Not sure who said it, but I wrote it down and kept it in my scriptures and use it daily.
So, in January some friends asked if I wanted to join them in a 12 week challenge called Live Fit, by Jamie Eason. I said "yes" not knowing if I really would do it. But, it started and I jumped on. And it was great fun. Well this is week 12. I have now finished strong with my challenge and I have learned a lot from it.
12 things I learned from participating in Jamie Eason, Live Fit Training.
1. I am happy.
2. I am strong.
3. I can complete anything I want to achieve.
4. I have a very supportive family.
5. I have a great network of support - friends, family, colleagues, boss.
6. My kids help me achieve my goals. (When Little Lu isn't begging me not to go to the gym).
7. I found a cool study about power amino acids, that has totally intrigued me.
8. When you make something a priority it just fits into your life.
9. I am worth it.
10. I am capable.
11. I like new challenges, things that make me grow, and I will try anything (Ha, within reason).
12. I am making a lifestyle change.
