TIME FLIES!!

Denise

Has it really been that long since our “Driven.” group took a break?  It's all been such a blur! I know my new grand baby was born and I was on top of the world and then I came down with the flu that turned my world upside down! Now I'm on the recovery side of it all and ready for my normal life back. I had good days and “feed a cold” days but all and all I don't feel like I gained any weight. By the way, next week is weigh in for me and I'm not going to lie, I’M NERVOUS! I did buy a device that calculates body fat and percentage though, and I'm excited about seeing results on it especially since my body does not like to drop in weight except in very slow motion. I wasn't very consistent with my workouts either while we were on break due to feeling weak from being sick. I have to say, this was the first time I've been sick since spring of 2012. I know this because that was the tenth time I had pneumonia since we moved to Pennsylvania in 2002. I did much research after that on what herbs and holistic remedies I could add to my regiment to boost my immune system during the winter. I found an article on Olive Leaf Extract in which I bought and started taking right away. I took it daily from that Spring until the next and, no pneumonia!!! So I kept taking it every day, religiously, until my grand baby was born a few weeks ago. How I forgot about me and my daily regiment of supplements is beyond me but, never again! Within two weeks of not taking my Olive Leaf, I got the flu and I got it bad!! Needless to say I'm back on my daily dose. During this time I don't think I did a full workout once but, I'm now back on track and have four full workouts under my belt. It feels great to get back to it and I'm hoping I am Driven enough to even increase my workouts and get my body fat down. My goal is to get it down to 25%. 

Ok, let's talk about Pokemon! I'm so excited about this not only because it's so fun but, my husband walks with me, and a lot!!! We've been married for 30 years and he has never been a walker, until now…go Pokemon!! We've clocked in over 15 miles in the last few days and we are having a blast doing so! By the weigh, Kevin has now lost 30 lbs.!!! I am so proud of him!  So here are some “pre flu” pics and I was on a roll and included my five year old grandson in on my workouts.
