About Terri
Hey! Welcome to my blog page!
My Name is Terri Cruce and I am enjoying life and having more fun than I’ve had in years!
So here’s a little bit about me. I am married and have two daughters, one in grad school and one in her second year of college. My nest is getting emptier by the day!
I am a Southern California transplant, grew up near the beach and now live in the middle of the country! Didn’t see that coming! Moved to Omaha, Nebraska, about six years ago. That was a huge change for me, going from sunny all-year-round moderate weather to snow and tornado warnings!
But love those seasons, especially the fall colors! The silver lining!!
But that’s only one of the big changes I’ve experienced in the past several years. I not only changed my residence, but I also took a good hard look at myself, a mom with kids ready to move out and on with their own lives, and realized that I was starting to look the part! Ye gads!!
I knew I had to do something about that. I had no desire to watch the years add pounds and age to my body.
What to do? What to do?
Then I saw an infomercial for Turbo Jam. Looked fun. Looked like something I might enjoy. And it looked like something that might put me back in my old body again. Dare I hope!!
Long story short, I bought the program. It was fun and it was something I could do. And I did get results. Still didn’t watch what I ate that closely, though, but hey, I was working out!!
I started liking what I was seeing in the mirror. Give me more!! So then I moved on to Hip Hop Abs, then Chalean Extreme, and now Turbo Fire!!! I started watching what I ate. I decided I wanted it all!! I became a workout junky!!
Now I’m in the best shape of my life and it just keeps getting better and better! In the past 12 weeks, I went from a size 12 down to a size 4! I have so much fun going shopping for clothes again!! It is a total rush!
And one of my daughters’ reactions when I came home with my size 4s: “Dang, mom.” Says it all, doesn’t it?
So now I pass that feeling on. Everyone should get to feel that same high. Instead of recoiling in horror when I pass a mirror, I now smile and think, “Not half bad for a mom with college-aged kids.” If I can do it, so can you! It is possible to turn back the clock!
I’m so glad you stopped by. Stay and visit with me a while. I love to meet new people and make new friends!
