What a week. It's been wrought with good times and sad times, fun times and mad times. I've triumphed and faltered. I've indulged and abstained. At the end of it all, I'm still here and that's all that matters.
Miranda Lambert has a song out now called "The House that Built Me." That song is particularly meaningful to me this week. I'm planning a drive to East Nashville shortly to catch a glimpse of a couple of places that built me.
As I drive past the places that shaped the woman I am today, I will only remember the good stuff like Blue Jumpsuits, Sardines and Crackers (which to this very day I hate), Fried Green Tomatoes, learning to make Apricot Nectar Cake, Ice Cream Sandwiches, Sunday Dinner at Mrs. Batson's, and Roman Candles in the backyard on the Fourth of July.

Monday marks the beginning of a new fitness challenge over at the BFL Spirit board. We'll be honoring another great man named Mike Harris. He passed away a few weeks ago doing what he loved... riding his bike. While I only had the pleasure of meeting him a few times, his journey to being fit was nothing short of inspirational. He was a remarkable spirit and he frequently offered me words of nutritional and fitness advice. The "Be Like Mike" Challenge starts Monday. If you're interested in spending the next 12 Weeks becoming a healthier version of yourself, stop on by Body-for-life Spirit. I'm excited by the opportunity for a fresh start.
I know I haven't posted progress pics and measurements in a while. I will do that on Monday. I need to get back into the habit of doing this every four weeks. It helps keep me focused.
I'll leave you with the chorus of the song I mentioned... "If I could just walk through I swear I'll leave and I won't take nothing but a memory.... of the house that... built me."
Cheers!
Margaret
