My Birthday

Weight Loss
By Julie Parkes
I got so use with everything that has been going on, between Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts, Veterans Day, Turkey Trot and Thanksgiving then all the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales, I completely forgot about my Birthday. My Birthday was on November 12th. Normally my birthday wouldn't really be such a big deal to me, but this year is different because this year I turned 50. To tell you the truth I'm really excited about that. I am 50 years old and I'm in the best shape of my life. I recently started a new career that I absolutely Love and I can tell you for a fact that 50 doesn't mean that everything needs to go down hill. There is so much more to do and see. I feel like my life has just begun. With all the weight I used to carry, I lost out on whole world that I watched pass me by and NOW it's not passing me by anymore. I am participating in a wonderful life with precious kids and an amazing husband. This is a life that a few years ago I couldn't even imagine. This is a life that is better than I could ever dream it could be. I'm talking about my wonderful life for a few reasons. First... I am so happy. I am bursting and want to share the joy I have found. Second... This is a life I never thought I would have. It's a life you can have. Never give up and have hope. Tis is a beautiful world with beautiful people and so much for you. If you need to lose weight. You CAN do it. If you want to get healthy and Strong. You CAN get healthy and strong. It may not always be easy. But it is very possible. So take ne step at a time. Go to it and do it!
