Track and Yeild

Shanda and I went for a smallish 2.5 mile walk today ( now last week) and I am so completely out of shape that it wiped me out. It was that or the 6 hours of school work with the boys. It has been almost one year since I consistently worked out. I have really struggled with getting back into the routine of being in a routine. Please seriously support the Save the Kim from Her Fat Pants Campaign.

I will accept any praise and admiration you can muster. I need help to get my train on the track.



I have good intentions to yield to temptation but the blue bag of Oreo's rendered me powerless about 20 minutes ago and I ate some where between 4 and 8 of them. I really don't know. I should have eaten before I worked out. 3-5 in the afternoon I feel like I am starving. My tummy growls and I get cranky. If you have an idea on how you get through your time o'day please share.

I'm still (for the most part ) proud of my choices today. I do not feel guilt or shame so I will face tomorrow with determination. I will hit the track and dare I say attempt to run. Pray for me.

This was not planned...

For my 33rd birthday we celebrated by going out for dinner. Lindsey and Lauren just happened to show up looking fabulous and color coordinating with my outfit! I love it when we are on the same wave length. BTW- It was a great evening filled with family, friends, food and laughter. My favorite things!

Big Girls DO Cry

I am not talking tears of joy! I am so aggravated that I have gained and lost the same twenty, yes twenty, pounds twice in the last year (August to August). I am sick of this excess weight! I know how to eat right and exercise. I actually enjoy exercise.

That's it I am back on the top of my own priority list. I'm making a come back. Watch out Firm step you are about to have the dust blown off and Billy you are going to kick box me back into shape! Not to mention the sparkpeople SHANDA told me about.

Besides The Biggest-Looser is coming back and I always regret not being in shape the moment it comes on. Let's get physical!

Tag I'm... IT?!

Okay Shanda!

You tagged me to have to make a list

of my six personality quirks.

Hummmm...I really can't think of any.

Just kidding!!

Let's define quirk

Quirk

Look up quirk inWiktionary, the free dictionary.
Quirk may refer to

[edit] Odd habit
A quirk is an odd habit. Most dictionaries list this word's origin as “unknown”. However, as the surname arises from the Isle of Man in the Irish Sea, and because the island is somewhat notorious for idiosyncratic behaviors, we may find the word's origins there. Many surnames have fluctuated in their pronunciations and, hence, their spellings. Prior to the twentieth century, the most common variant for this “phylum” was Quark


Now on to the good stuff!






1. I love the smell of a print shop!

I was practically born in one and the smell of ink and paper just brings me home.

2. I prefer all the towels in the cabinet to be folded the same way and have the hemmed side facing the back of the cabinet. I also prefer them all to be white.

I don't know why but I do.

3. I always buy green beans when I go shopping for groceries.

If you need some I can almost guarantee I will have them.

4. I love to get a hot bath.

I celebrate with baths. I get a bath to relax. I get a bath when I want to have time with the Lord. I get bath when I feel bad. I get a bath when I am stressed. I will get a bath for just about any reason or emotion.






5. I love the Message Bible.

It is easy to read and I can absorb not only quantity but content.








6. I hate to loose or do things badly.


I will instead choose not to play or start a project.





There you go now I am supposed to tag people but I just don't have that many bloggin friends so you will just have to step up if you are reading this and take the challenge. Yes, this does mean you.

Pennies from Heaven

This summer has definately been a trying time financially, emotionally, and physically. I am recovering from the last two (one day at a time) but that financial thing just hasn't worked out as I have planned. I am, however, thankful for pennies from heaven. They have been my encouragement.

When I lived in Irving I had a good friend who was going through a really long and trying fiscal season. They had one child (two years old) and she had a low paying part time job when her husband was laid off. He took a low paying hourly job while he was job hunting. All that to say, it was extremely difficult to make ends meet. Have you noticed that bills still come in even when checks don't?

She shared a story her mom told her about a rich man. The rich man always stopped to pick up pennies off the floor, in parking lots and stores. He was asked why, if he had so much money, would he stoop to pick up a penny. He replied " Pennies remind me that every cent I have comes from God." After her mom relayed that encouraging story she hung up the phone and turned around to find a penny laying on her kitchen table. She found pennies every where she went until their trial was over.

Throughout this difficult season I have found a penny (sometimes several ) each day. It has been a comforting reminder that all I have comes from God and I can trust him to meet my needs. I found two already today and also a dime. Oh yeah. I am also only $100 from making rent. Since I started out the day the Lord has provided $200.12. I am trusting Him to meet our needs this month. Roger's commission won't kick in till next month. We can use your payers and encouragement.

Lord, I ask you to provide food, shelter, and electricity for my family this month. I am thankful for your provision for this summer. I know you have blessed and stretched what we have. Please do not let me get ahead of your plan. I know I struggle with that and I am sorry. I want to wait on you because I know you have a plan for me and that it is to bring me hope and not harm. Guard my mouth and give me wisdom to know when and who to ask for help and when not to move. I love you.
