Real Chicks Getting Fit Questions

I have really enjoyed reading everyone’s posts and I have tried to subscribe to quite a few. I apologize for not having the time to play all the games with you, though. Including my very busy job, taking care of my mom, spending time with my kids, developing a loving relationship with the man I love and trying to exercise and keep a blog, I just don’t have a lot of time…except for when I’m sleeping, but I already cut that short to exercise! I love the accountability and hearing your progress through your posts and I hope the couple of times a week that I can check in will be enough.

I look forward to sharing my progress with you and hearing about yours.

Random Facts

1. I love to sing LOUD in the car
2. I have two wonderful grown children
3. The man I am dating is ten years younger than me
4. I have brown eyes
5. I hate raisins, prunes and dates
6. I love to cook
7. My favorite color is turquoise
8. I hate to clean. If I could have a maid forever I would be in heaven
9. I run a department for a large outpatient rehab
10. If someone were to play me in a movie it would be Meg Ryan or Sandra Bullock. They both have that Lucille Ball quality with a modern twist that I would use to describe myself
11. I get to help make music videos and movies. Big fun!

Questions to Me

1. A saying that I have come to embrace is that “it is what it is” meaning that I can’t move forward until I accept where I am first
2. I know my blood type: A+
3. I had a fist fight in the third grade when I had to stand up to a bully
4. I would love to meet Billy Graham or his daughter Anne Graham Lotz; they are very inspirational
5. If I had $500 and I had to spend it on myself, I would probably start with bras and underwear and then move on to purses and shoes
6. Worst gift was from someone at work: a necklace that looked like it should have been in a bad horror movie…with matching ear rings
7. My best feature is my eyes
8. I cried about two weeks ago. I’m a big baby
9. I can’t remember making some one cry
10. A tropical island or a cruise for vacation
11. I have beat up two sheriff officers and my son put the video on YouTube. It was a self defense class and the graduation was a fight and you had to get away. It was pretty scary but very empowering!

Have a great night,
