Kerry and Frank are getting married!!! The wedding will be held at Glacier National Park on August 11, 2012. We are very excited about it. We've invited the family and a few friends but I think it will probably be Pat and me, Franks parents and Kerry's friends. It's a very expensive trip and most people don't have money to get out there. Pat and I are going to camp for a few days and will be staying at Glacier Guides Lodge for the night before and the night of the wedding. That way Kerry will have a place to get dressed and fix her hair and make up. OMG!! What am I going to wear? LOL

Pat and I have decided to take a 2 week road trip out to Glacier National Park, Yellowstone and The Grand Tetons. This is the trip that Kerry and I did last summer and it was fabulous. I really want Pat to be able to share it with me. We will be camping for most of the trip which should be pretty crazy. We haven't taken a trip alone in in more than 25 years so now is the time and it is going to be the best trip ever.

Here are a few pictures that we took when Kerry and I went to Glacier last summer. It's an amazing place.

As Featured In Globe Magazine

So here is the story. I'm pretty thrilled about it. I wrote to Richard and sent him a copy of the story and he wrote me back right away. He is very proud of me. I'm pretty proud of myself. :)

I can't help but wonder what the universe has in store for me now.

I'm Going To Be In Globe Magazine!!!!

A few weeks ago I was contacted by a writer from Globe Magazine asking me if I would be interested in having my weight loss story featured in the weight loss issue of their magazine. I was totally shocked and was very curious about how they had heard about me. It turns out that they found me through the Yoga Source. The writer, Lynn, is a friend of Pam Leal who is a flow teacher at The Source. Lynn picked up on of the flyers about the "Just My Size" yoga class and contacted me about my story. I just got an email from Lynn saying that my issue of Globe will hit the stands on Wednesday. Wow!

I really am very excited about being featured as a weight loss success story but also as a yoga teacher. I am very proud of my new teaching career which has really taken off recently. I am teaching 2 group classes and privates in my home studio, 2 classes at Eagle Trace County Club and 2 classes at The Yoga Source. I also sub whenever I am called upon which is fairly often. I have students that come every week and sometimes twice a week. I feel very good about helping people to become more mindful and grounded.

A long time ago Richard Simmons called me and asked me if he could show my before and after pictures and call me from the QVC studios. The next thing I knew I was on QVC talking to Richard. Many years later I was featured as a success story on Richard's website. Not long after that I found myself at Slimmons in front of a large group of people telling them how I was able to lose my weight in "Meet The Pros". That was about 6 years ago and things have been pretty quiet on the weight loss front. Now, I will be featured in a national magazine. I wonder what will happen from it. Yeah, I am excited. :)
