I Be Up In The Gym Just Workin' On My Fitness

Oh happy Wednesday.  My nontraditional week is coming to an end.  Tonight, hanging out late with my little buddy.  While I don't have my buddy for the rest of the week, I have a feeling the rest of the week and weekend will be busy.  Cleaning and grocery shopping tomorrow.  My girlfriend comes into town Friday.  Hitting the town Friday night.  Not sure where though...kinda thinking Saints, but who knows--trying to figure out whose got the best drink specials; I'm pretty much thinking PNL it outa the question...the video below pretty much sums it up.



Anyways...so be prepared to roll your eyes.  But I am going to post anyway because I am excited and would like to celebrate my mini-victory.  We all know loosing the baby weight sucks.  I'm still not to my pre-preggo weight, but I had a goal in mind.  I wanted to reach a certain weight by the time we headed to South Padre mid-October, and today I already reached that weight!  Pretty darn excited about it.  I have been working pretty hard, so I think I get to pat myself on the back for that one.  By the first of the year, I think I'll be able to make a New Years Resolution that doesn't involve shedding pounds!

Since I am a pretty goal oriented person, I decided I wanted to also set some fitness goals for myself.  It is one thing to be at a good weight, but I would also like to be fit.  All the peeps I workout with at the gym run 1/2 marathons and full marathons, while I don't see myself accomplishing that by this year; that is something I would like to work towards by next fall.  So I was thinking of picking out a 5K or 10K in the next 6 months and start training for that.

Well that pretty much sums it up.  I am digging on this fall weather.  Nothing more exciting than pulling out the blue jeans!  Haley should be up from her nap any minute now, so off the do the mom-thing.

Until Next Time....

Fruit & Root Connection: Tangled Up

Certainly, I've expressed my aversion to hyper-spiritualized language before. It often feels contrived, lacking authenticity—a facade of piety. Perhaps it's projection. Maybe jealousy. Or it could stem from a sense of disillusionment with the Christian community. But every so often, amidst the noise, a truth resonates deeply. "There is a root and fruit connection between heart and behavior. People and situations do not determine our behavior; these things provide an occasion where our behavior reveals our hearts." - Instruments in the Redeemer's Hands I've been navigating through my anger, confronting myself in the mirror. What does this anger unveil about my own heart? Surely, they aren't as enraged with me. In fact, they probably don't spare me a second thought. If anything, they—as sincerely as they can muster—bemoan my status as an apostate. So pitiful. My fruit is anger. And too often, I'm tempted to point fingers elsewhere as the source of my...

Should I Stay or Should I Go

At the time, deciding to leave felt like the most agonizing part of the whole ordeal. In hindsight, a few years of prayer journals were filled with distressing agony over desiring direction and reconciliation.  So much turmoil and emotional pain all the time. But we were constantly told that was to be expected. Hard was good. Hard truths. And iron sharpening iron. But in reality, We were all enduring death by a thousand paper-cuts. In reality, it was spiritual abuse.  In July of 2022, I sat in a lawn chair in California. It felt like a million miles from home.  We had been traveling the US, and hadn’t been home in weeks. I sat there, eating my bowl of chili.  As wonderful as the trip has been, I started to miss home. In my reflections. I counted my blessings. Home was good. Except one thing, I had a sense of dread when I thought about church. My chest would go tight. And my body felt shaky. I craved Jesus. I craved worship. I craved devotion. Being in God’s creation,...

If Your Happy and You Know it Clap Your Hands....

Alright y'all, I need to post an actual blog post.  It's been awhile.I guess I have said " writers block".  Everytime I've sat down to blog, I've gotten this nasty attitude, like I just want to rant and complain.  I'm not a fan of giving a bad mood more than it deserves or letting people get on my nerves enough that it bleeds in my blog in the most passive-aggressive way possible.  So I won't go there this time.  Focusing on what I'm thankful for has been such a great practice, and has helped me avoid the above.  So here goes nothing.....I'll update a little bit on everthing I suppose.... Finally, life is beginning to slow down.I am so appreciative of the fact that the moving/settling in process is over ( only to do it all again in T minus 5 months....) In theory, there should be a big hole where our next house will be soon. For some reason I doubt that they will break ground this week, but I would be happy if they did...I'm stressed and ...
