It has been so long since I wrote on my blog, I'm so sorry to all of you faithful readers. It has been quite the hectic summer. But I'm ready to get consistent with my blog and tell everyone what is going on with the Local Biz!
I think we were doing the hour long LIVE radio show on WIXK when I posted my last blog. We are still doing awesome and we are getting more and more listeners every week. And now WIXK is streaming live so anyone anywhere can hear our show. Please check it out either live weekly or check out thelocalbizonline.com and listen to the current week's show. It has been more than a blast and I'm so excited about the future of this radio show. Please let us know if you are interested in hearing the show!!!
Because of the show, I have an exciting announcement to make, I talked about it a little bit on the radio this week, but didn't really want to go into a lot of detail because I just started on the program. I'm the self-proclaimed spokesperson for Physician Weight Loss Centers of Hudson! I just stared working with Lisa this past Wednesday and I started the program on Thursday. I'm very excited for so many reasons.
First of all, I'm pumped about loosing weight! Like many woman, I have struggled with my weight for ever. I have tried other diets and settled on doing it the old fashioned way, I ate less and worked out more! I lost about 40 lbs between having Colton and getting pregnant with Cash. I was very happy at about 163-160 lbs. It was my sister's Abby's wedding where I was 160 lbs and felt amazing! I also have run 3 half marathons between the two boys as well and really got back into working.
Then I got pregnant - yeah for me but not year for my weight! Like my mother, I almost instantly gained weight in my thighs and hated ever minute of that part of being pregnant. Then last September, I had a wonderful healthy baby boy that we named Cash Steven. Very sweet little boy that decided to come 3 and a half weeks early via c-section. That was rough, and I struggled to get back into working out and eating right. Still after a year, I can't STOP EATING!!! I have gotten back into working out. I have been running 3-5 days a week. I've also been working out with personal training Tera Busker.
Just an aside: Tera is awesome! She has been writing for the Local Biz and I'm excited to call her my friend. It has been a blessing training with her.
OK, so an awesome opportunity has come my way. I talked to Lisa from Physicians Weight Loss Center of Hudson last week and this is a match made in Heaven! I'm going through their program and I'm going to get the word out about their program and how successful it is for me. I'm doing that through the radio show and though this blog and also through my website and the publication itself! I'm very excited to share my journey with everyone. Although it is a little scary to talk about my weight in public, I think this is a huge honor that I will take very seriously. So far, on day 2 (10-15-10) I've stayed true to the diet and followed it religiously. I didn't workout today like I planned, and I have no good excuse, but I will be running in the morning and am thinking about starting a great challenge for myself that will start on November 1st and end on Christmas Eve! I'm thinking like 120 miles of running, or something like this! I will keep you posting.
Now along with the blogging about my new weight loss program, I will also be chatting about businesses and experiences weekly! I have to say, I was just at JJ's Sports Bar today for a ribbon cutting. I'm the Ambassador Chair for my chamber (Central St. Croix Area Chamber) and it's my responsibility to organize and handle ribbon cuttings! I met the owners Jeremy and Jesse Penman. They have a beautiful bar in a great location. It is in the former Doll House Bar. They did a fantastic job on the inside using a lot of diamond plate! I can't wait to enjoy a drink or two there sometime soon. (It might be a while, I can't drink on the diet!) We had a great group of people there too from the chamber. Of course Don Fowell was there and so was April from WIXK. Lynn and Beth Pabst and Ron Revere from MIX105, Pete Keskey my favorite printer! and Doug from Energy Plus. Hope I got them all. I talked with Beth and April after were done about the weight loss program! I"m so excited to share, if I haven't mentioned that lately!
Chat with you soon...I'll be out loosing weight...
