Hmm......

Thinking about not bothering to blog anymore.....nobody is reading it anyway. lol I have things to say in my head or out loud, but don't usually do well writing them out.

Testimony

The other day M's cd player had stopped working and after looking at it I asked my husband to inspect. He and I both came to the same conclusion- the power outlet plug had stopped working. We sometimes consider the small items in our life of not great importance and figure their easily replaceable. I figured we would just purchase another one in the store. So last night I was putting M in bed and he was very upset because he couldn't listen to "We'll Work Till Jesus Comes" (his absolute favorite! he puts it on repeat all night long) and asked if I would buy another today. I told him I would try, but at least he could use D's after she fell asleep. So I went out to get his meds and started thinking about how satan was just taking a swipe at him so I thought I should pray over it. Not sure if T had thrown the power outlet away, I looked around and spotted it sitting on the table. I scooped it up and prayed over it. Taking it in his room I plug it in and it didn't work, but I kept trying telling myself don't give up that's what satan would love. Trying different things I kept at it. Then I pulled the tip off the end and switched it around- putting it back on and plugging it in I hit the play button and it turned on! He was so excited! I told him that I prayed over it and we needed to thank Jesus. Any time we can boost his faith (and ours) is an encouragement! =D

Still Going

Feeling accomplished! 50 minutes on treadmill, strength training and calories in check! =D

Working Hard

Today, we had great intentions of being in church, but plans were changed at the last minute. So I had my Fiber One Cereal, one banana and then hit the treadmill (well I didn't actually hit it, but you get the point, right?) for 40 minutes. Walking and jogging into a tremendous sweat. Then for lunch we had homemade, lean turkey chili w/cornbread (chili was fantastic, but alas, the cornbread was not lean and I was shocked out of my gourde when I added up the calories!) and then cleaned up the kitchen. Now, I'm going to do some weight training before we head out the door. Hoping to use someone's "Total Gym" this afternoon too! WooHoo!

What did you do today?

My challenge to you for today- do 25 pushups (full body) or 50 from the knees and 50 crunches. Let me know if you completed the challenge.

New Beginnings

Hello All....or should I say just a few! lol Had a few new beginnings in the last few days. Some more personal than others. Been doing really good eating healthier and watching my portions. I've also have worked hard at not snacking late at night, which was always my major downfall. Jumped on the treadmill yesterday walking and doing some sprints- felt wonderful! Dying to do more walking in the park and tennis, but waiting for the heat to be turned down outside! Probably won't see me as much on here- trying to spend less time on the computer in general and more on the Lord, me, my family and my home. =)
