The Fit Farmer's Wife

THIS IS MY FARMER...

AND I AM HIS WIFE!

For 25 years we've been living life in many phases, stages and geographic locations. 
We raised four beautiful daughters, have three gorgeous grandchildren and are now empty nesters.
We are young at heart and crazy enough to think that we can move out on the farm
and make a go of starting a small farm in the middle of nowhere. 

That's the farmer part of the story. 
So, why FIT farmer? 

Well, with life comes ups and downs. It wasn't easy, it wasn't always roses.
We took the good with the bad but with the bad came some depression, stress eating and such.
In turn it added up to a spare 45 pounds.
Lugging around an extra 45 pounds can take its toll on a body - 
so my slightly fat fit farmer decided to do something about it. 

There were several weight loss programs tried 
but they all seemed to take off the weight
then it came back 2 fold. 
What's a guy to do? 

Cue a new wonder and a new lease on life. 
To keep this short, I will simply say that my once "fat" (obese according to the weight app) farmer
is becoming more fit everyday!
Phase 2 started February 1, in 28 days he lost 27 pounds. Excellent numbers.
Phase 3 he maintained his loss and lost a couple more. 
Back to Round 2 Phase 2...we are starting again.
Only this time...the Fit Farmer's Wife is joining him!

On this blog I hope to share our journey to health and wholeness.
I will be sharing tons of savory P2 and P3 approved recipes.
