I was sitting around thinking about health issues and weight which I have now dealt with for over ten years. I was one of those kids who ate everything I wanted and never gained a pound but after I had my first son that was not the case anymore. I have had to learn to eat differently through the years and exercise. I have tried so many fad diets and plans that Kristina teases me and says that someday I will write my own get healthy book. I am not sure about that but I have decided to put myself to a challenge starting on November 20th and going through the end of the year. I am going to do it in spurts and see if I can find something’s that really work for me such as do I feel better? Have I lost any pounds or inches? How hard was it for me to fit this into my schedule?
I welcome anyone to take these challenges with me and I am open for any advice. This is not permanent and will just be a trail until the end of the year. Starting 2012 I plan to put together a regular diet and exercise plan, so please stay tuned…….

Our great friend's Chris and Sheryl got married today. You may remember them from one of our Top Ten Tuesday. During their wedding ceremony they had a great hand fasting ritual. It was truly beautiful so I wanted to share it with you.
Handfasting wedding ceremonies are Celtic wedding rituals. It involves the tying of hands together to symbolize the coming together and remain tied together.
