Hello!
I’m Jul, an A-type personality with a zest for life, sidelined by painful hips (apparently not bad enough to fix, but of absolutely no value to me in this condition). I love Jesus, have a wonderful career, wonderful husband, awesome kids, and a brand new Grandson (Summer 2014). I’m blessed to be able to take time to spend with him and would like the strength to lift and play with him as he grows. I love to golf, water ski, wake board, and prior to my hip pain, I was a 190 average bowler. I’ve had a hole-in-one, an eagle, and have bowled a perfect 300 game. I lived on the water and my kids all grew up with a boat or two in their back yard until 3 years ago, now I have a pool in the shade by 3:00 PM (love it). I’m better at a healthy weight than chubby in pretty much every area of my life. I wish I could say that it doesn’t matter to me, but it does! Life for me is easier at around 150 pounds. I used to weight 125 in high school and was always trying to lose weight. I’ve weighed 188 before, but this time, I have a belly. What is that all about? I guess age has definitely caught up to me, but I’m not giving in. This is going to sound crazy, but I lose weight easily compared to most people (when I try). Having that in the back of my head causes me to procrastinate daily.

My goal is to stop idolizing food and start enjoying time spent with the person in front of me. I saw a restaurant posting on Facebook that said, “No Wi-Fi here…talk to each other!” It resonated with me and I’d like to “show up” undistracted to visit for an hour at a time. I bet if something falls apart while I’m visiting, it would have eventually anyway. I don’t need to save the world and nobody really wants me to fix them. Just listen.
