Congrats!!

Ok, so it has been a while....I'm VERY ADD! What do you expect!?! Anyway...since the last time I posted........
I have been managing my "Low GI diet" pretty well, and the results are starting to show! I've gone from 23% body fat to 17% since June! Just goes to show you how High protein and low carb can work for someone with RA!! Needless to say I was pretty darn grumpy for the first few weeks! I don't know how my fiance' put up with me. The greatest accomplishment though, has been how good I feel! I have climbed out of the "Carb Fog" I was living in. I will talk a little more about my diet limitations later....
I have been ACTIVE...now I can't say that I have been getting my 5 hours a week, like I should, but I have done something everyday. I am getting addicted to Club Bells!! They are great for my shoulder, and hopefully, will help me get rid of this "teacher arm" I have! haha I have also been playing over at TGT doing the "Intelligent Strength" program. It will never take the place of my KB's!!, but it is really good for just relaxing and adding a little extension to the body. I feel like a dancer when I leave.
We are preparing for a KB seminar in Fayetteville on the 25th of this month...I would invite you...but I think we are full! YAY!!!! I love teaching groups!!! haha
Finally!!! I want to say CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! To Connie. You are now officially a competitive POWER LIFTER!!!! And you make me look bad! (Benching the same thing I do at 30 lbs lighter!!)http://www.carolinapowerlifting.com/results.htm
Ok, well it is time for me to head out...I'm going to visit a couple of boarding barns today! Time to get my horse up here!

Thanks Jes!! I really appreciate you coming out to see me compete. Your support is appreciated likewise! Please keep up your blog - I find it quite interesting. I look forward to hearing more about your diet and about the kettlebells.
