I didn’t exercise a single time last week. I had every intention of lifting on Friday, and the again on Saturday, but it just didn’t happen. After all the chaos of last week, I was just exhausted. Oh, and my back hurt. A lot. I had a sneaking suspicion that if I’d just pony up and squat for Keep Reading
Mom
Last week was the saddest week of my life. Burrying mom was harder than I could imagine. Seeing the utter grief on my six-year-old nephew’s face made my heart break all over again. Watching Garrett walk into mom’s office to find her was hard. After seeing her both Wednesday evening, and Thursday Keep Reading
The Lord Gave
And The Lord hath taken away; Blessed be the name of The Lord. Job 1:21b Last night, after an evening of celebration with the family for 32 years of marriage, my mother went to be with The Lord. Words cannot describe how much we grieve, and yet, there's peace. Are we sad? Yes. Do we cry? Keep Reading
Project Fit Pregnancy: Week 24
I attended a bridal shower yesterday in which Many of the ladies took turns encouraging and admonishing the bride-to-be in her future role. Not surprisingly, a few of the ladies brought up the subject of femininity and what it truly is, versus the common perception of frillls and lace. I was Keep Reading
Project Fit Pregnancy: Week 23
Sometimes I feel like this pregnancy is just crawling, but other times the weeks seem to fly by fairly fast. Like just now when I typed in “23 week”. Already? Wow! What’s cool this week is that the baby’s big enough that I can make out individual parts, although I have no idea which are which Keep Reading
Project Fit Pregnancy: Week 22
Garrett loves stroller rides. In fact, he woke up this morning talking about his stroller. Fortunately for him, we had some really nice weather last week and did some walking. The forecast doesn’t look quite as good this week, but we’re really looking forward to doing a lot more walking/strolling in Keep Reading
Project Fit Pregnancy: Week 21
Exercise? What’s that? Sigh. Okay, so last week wasn’t that bad. It did seem that I had no energy all week though, and except for Monday, I only did the bare minimum exercises. The 5x5 program, aside from the 5 “real” sets, also has you do three warm up sets at lower weights, but still Keep Reading
Project Fit Pregnancy: Week 20
20 weeks, yay! In honor of the halfway mark, I decided it was time to start showing current pictures of my ginormous self. Oh yes, it’s the classic, and oh so classy, bathroom mirror pic. Lovely. But hey, at least there’s no toilet in the background! I feel huge, and I look huge I think for Keep Reading
Project Fit Pregnancy: Week 19
As you may have noticed, there was no post yesterday. Oooops! Gabriel and I have been planning to go visit his patents sometime before Spring, and he finally decided to do it. So we spent yesterday on the road with no Internet access. Being here in Texas means I’m finally taking a “de-load” week. Keep Reading
Project Fit Pregnancy: Week 18
18 weeks, and all I have to say is, heartburn?! Already?! Yeah. But it’s not too bad …Yet… as long as I watch the carbs and don’t eat too much at one time. Even though I had heartburn really bad (or at least what I consider to be bad) with Garrett, it was never something that I thought about after Keep Reading
