The Jarvis FunHouse Yard

Spring is here! As many of you know I love to work out in the yard. It is my therapy. I have had many people say I've been doing a lot of therapy lately!

I was inspired by my grandmothers & then my MOM, mom Jarvis & Barbara. As each of us know we all have different Styles of gardening. I have chosen Mini Gardens. I have, I believe, 10 at this time. Now don't get to excited. The hedges count as one. The Crepe Myrtles count as one. Let me introduce you to the Jarvis FunHouse yard.


The Ring



























































































I can't wait to introduce Brylee to the yard. So much to explore. Respecting nature, bugs, gecko & snakes. Yes, the small garter snakes that help with the bugs in your yard.

So I would love it if you would share pictures of your yards & gardens. Who knows, you might inspire me !

Happy Easter Everyone!

My Results

Okay as I promised I would give you my results of all my recent medical results.
I was almost laughing because I thought the doctor was going to fall off the stool he was sitting on reading the results. It was so funny!

I had lost 25 pounds in 9 months. He was happy but wants me to work on the weight . (I have now lose 60 lbs. total, since July 5, 2008)
Bone Destiny test 5 years ago the information was , 2 points above my age group. I had an increase in my back & my hips had decreased. This time it was, Spine +0.1 Left Femur -0.1 Right Femur -0.3 (Normal is 0 to neg .9) I put the great results to losing weight & working with kettle bells.
I have always had great LHD Cholesterol. My LDL has ran between 204-250 for years, but with the LHD being so good the doctor never seemed concerned with it. My LDL was 199. Okay not low but lower than it has been in a while.
The doctor is thinking of taking me off my High Blood Pressure medicine. My blood pressure readings have been great. Wish me luck in May.
Red Blood Cells, according to the doctor I have always had a very low red blood cell count. It was the highest it has ever been since I started seeing him. There is were he just almost fell off the stool!
I have fought being anemic all my life. I was low normal. We have to keep working on that.
Mammogram, I did not have any cysts for the first time in 5 years.
I also have found My IBS & Diverticulitis are not flaring up as often. I think that is due to eating less red meat. Bryan & I eat more chicken & fish than beef.
I have more energy & to my co-workers that is BAD!

So as you can see the Lifestyle Change has helped in many areas. Now my next challenge is to not lose much more weight or gain it back.

Yes we are taking supplements. If you want more information on what we are taking just e-mail me. If I get enough request I will post the list.

Again remember...we were under a doctor care while doing this. If you would like to know more please drop us a line or call.
