WELCOME


Welcome-Welcome!!

My Name is Sara Walton and I am a 36 year old mother of 2 amazing children Troy age 3 and McKenna age 1 and wife to a wonderful man, Eric. I have battled weight loss for the better part of 13 years after going through some SEVERE Chronic Depression. I am a self proclaimed emotional eater and junk food/fast food junkie. I have suffered from Depression and Attention Deficit Disorder all of my life and still struggle with it today.

I have found that having positive reinforcement and support from those who love and care about me makes all the difference in my personal emotional well being. Inspired by my friends and the new show on ABC Jamie Olivers Food Revolution I have vowed to lose 110 pounds by March 2011. I have tried almost every diet out there and have come to believe that for myself the simplicity of a good diet and regular exercise along with positive reinforcement from those around me is the key to my success. I will be your Rock if you let me lean on you a little bit in my times of need. Life is not perfect so my faith and the love of my friends and family is what I count on everyday to get me through. I have LOTS and LOTS of love and motivation to give and will give it out to all of you ten fold!!

I am restructuring what my family eats by growing much of my own produce for the first time and that which I cannot grow I will be getting from the local farmer's market. There is nothing better than good quality family time on saturday morning at the market. I am a true believer in leading by example so I hope to renew my faith and relationship in the Lord through this process. I am participating in a online bible study group through a member of the Facebook groups blog. The study begins on May 1st and it is called "The Power of the Praying Wife" I welcome you to participate also. You can find out more information at Hallee The Homemaker's Bolg.

As far as Physical activity goes I have been doing Wii Active, Wii Fit and Walking. My Physical fitness goals for myself are set and I have comitted to 4 charity walks before the end of the year. I will put up the links to those in the side bar soon.

I cannot wait to see what will happen when we get together to lift each other to new heights!!! I can't Wait to Travel this Road with Friends!!

This blog is focused on getting ourselves and our families heathly. Motivation and Encouragment are AMAZING TOOLS. Let's get together and keep each other on track.


I began as a Facebook Group call Our Own Little Food Revolution and we have grown to 111 members in 5 days. PRETTY AMAZING!!
