Where have all the Turners gone?

Well, this has been the longest I have gone without blogging. Either I am too busy (working, raising kids, and wasting time on facebook), too tired and lazy (too many sick kids around here for the past couple of months) or just don't have anything cool to post about (this may be the winner)!! So in an effort to catch up on my blogging, I will post pictures of whatever I have from the past 2 months. Beware....it may be TOO much for some of you.

The kids enjoyed a plethora of Easter Egg Hunts at both Grandparents homes and at the City park!!!!









We have also had a plethora of school programs and choir concerts.......








I have been networking with a lot of women lately to help grow my lia sophia business (plug...www.liasophia.com/amyturner) and in the process have met some AMAZING women who have inspired me to finally take the leap into taking care of my HEALTH and mySELF!!! Really, I can do that, I can take care of myself now??? I have looked into several diets, gyms, juices, pills, books, eating disorders, etc (all while JP rolled his eyes). At times it was overwhelming...only 30,000 options to choose from. Until, I finally found my MIRACLES. I started my new focus around the beginning of March. It has been slow, because of dedication on my part, (hard to get rid of bad habits), but with the little I have already done, I am down 18lbs. You can't tell much because I have so much more to lose, BUT I feel great. I actually have energy. The last time I had energy was in 1997 (pre-kids)....AND, to top that off, JP saw my results within my first week and jumped on board. He even attended a meeting with me. (UNHEARD OF)!! He is already down 20lbs and still going. In fact, I went to lay on his stomach the other day and it wasn't padded like it used to be. He has caught onto this Lifestyle better than I have and has become quite the example to me. He has even found his domestic side (well, I knew it was there all along) and is baking whole wheat bread, whole wheat tortilla chips with amazing salsa, and whole wheat pancakes. He has been off soda since March (Miracle-he will now live longer than me) and is looking GREAT!!! (Not that he didn't before). I feel so blessed to have met these women and to be a part of their programs. I didn't need a diet, gym, juice, quick fix gimic, just a LIFESTLYE change. Amazing how that can affect how you feel. It took me long enough to realize that it is MY CHOICE!!!! I still have a long way to go.......but I will get there. I can see that now. Here are some pics, links and video on what WE are doing!!!! I have spared you our BEFORE pictures (You are Welcome!!!) Let me know if YOU want to know more about what we are doing. I am so excited to share this with EVERYONE. Love to all.............
