So, kinda continuing where I left off last week, (I may have lost a couple pounds, which is cool, but I'm not shrinking much yet. More on that on Monday when I take stock and update stats at the end of phase 1) I'm still feeling pretty Grr and Meh about my progress so far, [...]

And I have yet to see any change in my physique. I know sometimes it takes awhile for me, and that I'm very swollen from all the hard work, but I feel gross, dumpy, and incredibly frustrated. My performance in cycle class has blown me away so far, and I'm doing far better than expected [...]

I'll be honest, I'm frustrated. I worked out hard and pretty consistently all last month, and I kicked major butt all last week, and I'm not any smaller. My performance is making me really proud, and that's great, but let's be real, it's not what's driving me most. I want to look strong and fit [...]

I've been working out consistently for three weeks now, and I am having quite mixed feelings about how it's going.The good: I'm definitely getting stronger! I can do more reps with heavier weights on this second level workout than I could when I first did it a couple weeks ago. I also feel much more [...]

I'm back on the fitness horse! I'm not in a groove yet, but I'm making it happen. Starting this week I'm working my way through Jillian Michaels Beginner Shred and going for at least a 2 mile walk every day that I can, wearing Declan and pushing Lexi. I'm hoping to get a better estimate [...]

Every child is different, and I guess that starts early. My pregnancy with Declan was different from that with Lexi in as many ways as it was similar, and his labor and birth followed that pattern. Around 9pm on February 28, Scott and I started watching the movie Zardoz, and I think I'll always associate that [...]

So, on September 11, 1982, a baby boy was born who would grow to be the love of my life. How fitting that it was on the same date (32 years later) that another young man who would make my heart swell in ways that were new to even this emotional soul would make his [...]

So, I've been quiet about this the past few weeks, but WE ARE HAVING A BABY!  We went to see my doctor yesterday, had a perfect ultrasound, saw the baby, saw and heard a beautiful and strong 165 bpm heartbeat, and were told that everything looks perfect! Our Estimated Due Date is March 1, so [...]

This week of the bible study I'm doing is about how Satan seeks to deceive and undermine God's love being real in our lives, and therefore our ability to live full lives. Yet again, completely relevant to exactly where I am. Today's devotional blog/email talked about the areas in which satan primarily attacks.Abba Father,Thank you [...]

"So I took a pregnancy test at like 4:30 this morning and at the time it looked negative, but then when I checked just now there was a plus sign. So I dunno if that's positive or an evaporation line (which I've heard of but never had), so an addition to my prayer request is [...]
