Great Strides Walk....Zumba!!
Zumba class one was this past Saturday, wow! A work out a good one, and FUN! I am taking a class tonight because of the walk this Saturday. Also looking into a second class weekly to get into, it was that good. Been on the healthy kick this year, so far yet to see any results, but I am doing it so when I have rug rats I can chase them around without being winded and play all the games and sports they want to. I wish the husband would join the band wagon with working toward bettering himself for the future children (we don't have and won't any time soon, but why not start now). So salads, and fruits, tons of veggies and working out. It is fun, not even hard, it is just commitment, and a lot of it. When it is so easy to lounge on the couch with a bag of chips and bowl of dip, you've got to focus. As usual I am my biggest fan and toughest critic, I'm still working on that one but I think I like it so I don't intend to change it.

Dough Raiser for Cystic Fibrosis
patiently await their pizza!
Cystic Fibrosis is a devastating genetic disease, which right now we don’t have the ability to cure, but we can and one day we will! CF is a giant part of my life, as my friend Isabelle, a beautiful three year old has CF, and I hope that one day we can do more for her than treat but cure her! And with her, so many other people who have CF. Before I knew Isabelle, I had known that CF was a disease, but did not know much more not anyone with it. Then two years ago, I met Isabelle and I will forever fight to help find a cure for CF. I never thought I would be as inspired as I am by her, she is so amazing, and incredibly smart! Her parents are wonderful people, and the three of them are now family to us all. I’m blessed to have met such amazing people.
So I am walking next Saturday with the Great Strides walk, down at Revere Beach – the turnout is anticipated to be good and I am hoping for great weather, a quick 5 mile walk down the boardwalk in the morning. So far I’ve raised $365 toward the CF Foundation, and with the Dough Raiser I hope that we were able to raise at least another $300! In addition to this walk we are doing, Isabelle’s father rides a 250 mile (yes I said 250 mile) motocross event every June to benefit the CF Foundation, and last year we were able to raise $400 for that at my job site, a construction site, full of hard working sweaty men donated $400 to the CF Foundation, I was beyond touched.
I guess it’s hard to realize the need for research, treatment and a cure for something until you’ve associated a face with it, for me I have associated a lot more than a face, it’s my family, and I don’t give up on family. So again, thank you to everyone who helped! For more information on CF, you can visit, www.cff.org. Our team is Breath.Believe but on May 8th we will walk as Isabelle’s Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo Crew* with pride and confidence that together we can and will make CF stand for CURE FOUND!

Have you ever read a how to blog for bloggers?
So here goes it, the initial posting of bloggers the fashion statement, the ice breaker, a bit about the blogger, yes that is none other than me, your host, a very opinionated, think after you speak, know-it-all...
I’m from
So with that… and now your eyes are blood shot and your yawning.. I am going to sign off of this and think about what I can impress you with the next posting, perhaps how I put on two different shoes and it took me 4 hours to realize.
