The life of a transplanted Minnesotan in the colorful Colorado Desert. Friday, April 23, 2010. If you reading this - then you are still coming to my blog - and you deserve a round of applause!

So I have been on and off diets and trying to get my body to looking good. After having 4 kids and finally being done I thought it was time. I started to watch what I eat and do some working out. I have struggled for months now but I always keep pulling forward. I hope to inspire others to do this as well. First 2 are from back in July 2008, Last one is from last week at 40lbs Lost. I am sure some Wives out there would like to do this LMAO. These are all done by Kayla Abrams.
