Torrington, WY Hi my name is Mary E. Robbins. I live on the high plains of Wild Wonderful Wyoming. I was raised outside a small town in western Nebraska, went to University in Beautiful Tulsa Oklahoma, and spent an additional couple of years there living and working. I moved back to this area for about 6 months, took off to the Mile High City, Denver Colorado, and lived there for 4 years or so. I used to jump Hi my name is Mary E. Robbins. I live on the high plains of Wild Wonderful Wyoming. I was raised outside a small town in western Nebraska, went to University in Beautiful Tulsa Oklahoma, and spent an additional couple of years there living and working. I moved back to this area for about 6 months, took off to the Mile High City, Denver Colorado, and lived there for 4 years or so. I used to jump into my little car on my days off and take adventure drives west, up into the mountains. I loved Colorado, I moved back to this area to take care of some family issues.
I had an opportunity to cross of an item on my life list. I have this list of things I want to do/accomplish while I am living this life. One was to hop a train. So rather than playing the bum and jumping a train. I took a job as a brakeman on the Chicago & Northwestern railroad. I loved it, those huge engines rumbling down the tracks, like riding a huge dragon. I met my husband while I was working on the rail. We fell in love very rapidly and have been together since the fall of 1990. We married October 26th, 1991. The rail decided to transfer me to Chicago in early 1992, my husband asked me to stay here rather than do the long distance relationship thing so I retired from the rail. We lived in the Town of Torrington in a delightful house with a huge honey locust tree in the back yard, 2 weeping birch in the front yard and 3 beautiful white spruce on the north side of the house until the spring of 2003. In the spring of 2003 we realized a long time dream and bought a ranch. Which is where we are now, Robbins Run Ranch: Living the Dream With Our Pomeranians.
Our 3 children (my stepchildren) were grown and on their own 2 with children of their own; before we moved to the ranch. My husband is still on the railroad, which was taken over by the Union Pacific. I work from the ranch. I am a Pomeranian breeder, for the love of the breed. We do a bit of rescue as well. However my main income comes from working online. I am selective when deciding which businesses/products to work with.
I came across Beachbody on an insomniac night surfing the channels on dish. One of those nights when I couldn’t sleep but was either to unfocused or tired to work. Hip Hop Abs jumped out at me. I bought it and promptly, I would like to say promptly started to workout out to it. But that is not what I did. I stuck it on a shelf. Around a year later I was looking for some all around support to lose fat and get my body into condition.
Over the past 9 years I had been extremely ill, survived West Nile Virus, then was left to deal with the ravages it had wrought on my body. (it left me with a compromised immune system and partially paralyzed)
I came close to death before two major surgeries that left me with decimated abdominal and pelvic floor muscles. After the last surgery I became very frustrated and angry, it felt as if my body had betrayed me, and I ate my way into oblivion, and nearly 300 pounds. Before I became ill, and the surgeries I could pick up a railroad tie and walk off with it. After the surgeries I could not pick up my empty coffee pot.
I am not at 100 percent yet, my last surgery was September 9th 2005. I am however on my way. Before the illness, and surgeries I had no idea what the saying: “If you have your health you have everything” meant. I understand it now.
Currently I am coaching as an Independent Beachbody Coach, helping others to reach their fitness and/or financial goals. Living with my loving husband on our ranch in Wild Wonderful Wyoming with our Pomeranians, rescue dogs, chickens, etc.

August 4th, 2011 update: Primarily I am trying to get healthy. I have had a series of surgeries, had a number of major family crisis, was pretty depressed for a while and had binging issues. I found the binge trigger so that is no longer an issue. Happily! As for the rest of it... hmmmm... no I'm not going into details at this time. I think I'll steal a line out of Steel Magnoilas...Whatever doesn't kill you, makes you stronger.
Well I'm still here. So here goes.
Now I am rebuilding my life... I want to get my weight down to 145 lbs, be fit enough to walk a marathon. Be able to ride a century. Of course there are intermediate goals... but those are my 2 biggies. Oh yeah... and to be able to do a one armed push-up. I've wanted to be able to do that ever since I saw it on G I Jane. lol... Sounds like P90X is in my future... lol...
Step by step I will get rid of the extra pounds in a heathy manner. (Heaviest weight 310 lbs~Goal Weight 145lbs) I am not interested in getting skinny... I am interested in being physically fit, balanced in mind body and spirit.
Life is a journey, one day one step at a time.
Mary

Week 5: today was supposed to be my weigh in day. Well I chose to not weigh in today. Today is my birthday and messing with that scale tends to do a head job on me.

I didn’t think losing 10 pounds was much in the overall scheme of things.
