I had spent the first 11 years of my life on my own.<br><br>At the age of 8 years old I had my own business, Rambling Wheels Bike Sales &amp; Repairs. At 9 years of age I built an unattached bedroom next to my parents house.<br><br>In 1960 when I was 5 years old my grandmother showed me the double lot with fruit trees and a two story house with a cellar where she used to live and garden.<br><br>The following 15 years I assisted my dad build &amp; sell his small town Chevrolet Dealership in Iowa, assisting in all of the departments.<br><br>Afterwards I assisted other automobile dealers in 5 states to build and sell their automobile stores for the following 20 years. This brought me to Denver, CO., where I worked for the last 11 years of my 35 year retail automotive career.<br><br>Then, I moved back to Iowa for the next 6 years to assist my mother with our 50 year old family ranch house, with a walk out basement.<br><br>The next 10 years I assisted my youngest son renovating houses on The North Front Range of Colorado.<br><br>For the last 2 years of that 10 years I assisted in the kitchen &amp; with landscaping @ The Manna Cafe-The River Church. During this time I also assisted Calvary Relief rebuild flood homes in Lyons, CO..<br><br>The first of 2005, at 50 years of age with a 5&#8242; 7&#8243; frame, I found myself @ 285 pounds. I had worked 35 years in the retail automotive business and hadn&#8217;t had the time to take care of myself properly.<br><br>At that time, I started changing the food that I was eating to healthier foods choices.<br><br>I was able to get down to 135 pounds, a one hundred and fifty pound loss! Only to go back up to 185 pounds.<br><br>Back to healthier food choices, which meant more funds and exercising.<br><br>Well all the way down to 130 pounds. At this time I was loosing muscle control and feeling weak.<br><br>OK, back to spending more funds on the best healthy foods choices and more exercising.<br><br>When I retired, a mid west school teacher-farmer friend of mine took me to a Forks Over Knives presentation. This was a vegetarian &#8211; no meat, no sugar, no caffeine, no cigarettes, and no alcohol.<br><br>I then adjusted my health to a Forks Over Knives &#8211; A Better Way of Living life. Since then, I&#8217;ve been able to maintain this weight.<br><br>Forks Over Knives is a healthier way of living and existing with our animal friends.<br><br>Blessings,<br>Kristy Carr<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-a89b3969 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"http:\/\/avillagerealty.com\/wordpress\">Back<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m Kristy Lynn Carr, a 70 year old gentleman that has chosen to assist all with Clean Water, Healthy Food, Safe Shelter &amp; Loving Care.
