Fit. Healthy. Happy!

[amj0883]

I love how blessed your journal is!! You never take anything for granted...I love that about you!

WOO HOO for weekends...they save my sanity as well

Workouts are looking killer girl! I know you can't wait until your vacation!!

[moisy]

So glad that everything is going well with work, training and life in general even though your days and weeks have been a non stop GO GO GO!!! I find life so much more interesting and fun when it is a little crazy and hectic ... it is nice to have a "purpose" to your days

Enjoy what is left of your weekend!

Normal Sunday.... church , food prepping ... rejuvenation...catching up with Mom via phone ...prayer group...(and BTW I am not ashamed to say that since I have prioritized my relationship with God...pray about everything, spend time in the Word.. and surrendered everything to Him...serve Him in everything I do from working out ;to work; my $$; my friends; relationships; to eating to cleaning! and now that I am listening more...He has been working in my life so much it is too hard to not keep saying it!

Game night last night with my peers from the student ministry we are leading together... Scattergories... that was fun! They are a great group of friends..Ate real quick before I left and felt pretty full... and then eventually started to munch on pretzels while there because they tasted so good!! I wasn't even hungry..... Oh well I'm a growin girl!

YEA!! you know ... on the way out....no $$ needed.... LOL !!!!!!!!!

I am LOVING the whey and am almost out!! then I get an email that there is a deal on Monday!! SWEET!

I make SUPER thick shakes with cold coffee, coffee ice cubes, instant coffee (is this too much coffee LOL...I brew decaf to balance it), xanthan gum, sometimes a little 100% cocoa...put the pb in after blending...oh my gosh.. the BEST!!

and yes I make cakey muffins too!! oh man yum!! I can't wait until my next meal !

[kledbetter]

hi

Lava sounds fun

[twinnett]

Hey "woman"..I always hear your voice when I write that..lol

We need to chat before you go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AgeRage]

Friday already!

So if I updated the whole week I'd take up a whole page! Let's just say my workouts rocked, food's on track, work is a bit consuming, not getting home until 7-730 most days, student ministry needs more of my attention, so many other little things I never have time to take care of...list goes on....but you know me, I just keep truckin along Bad thing is I never wake up startled, but did the other morning all in a panic about life and work - I am pretty overwhelmed and just trying to keep my head above water at work

Highlights of the week workout wise were 50#s on flat chest press, 135# on SL Partial DL, 135# on 48 reps of squats....and 110# on leg XT tonight - o yea!! I didn't do back yet (will tomorrow) b/c my scap area was very sore this week -not fun!! Chiro helped a bit....and feeling better now.....Despite not getting to bed until 10 most nights I was great on energy all week - praise the Lord for that He keeps me goin!

I got my new camera today - was so excited!! So pics soon....also got an all-in -one printer free with the purchase - so i have been playing with my new toys and trying to get some things done around here ....still awake bc I worked late then went to the gym late since I worked at home.... low carb all day, then had big bowl oats/pb and boiled egg whites post workout this evening plus my weekend chocolate!! too much I think

Maybe I should let the cat out of the bag and mention that my mom and I are going to Hawaii in a week.........


Happy Weekending!!

[AbramsAM]

I knew it Farther west than Washington (where I live) only place to go is Hawaii! Unless you need a passport You are going to have a great time! I have never been there but hear it is great. And when you mentioned lava, it was a give away I hear they have fantastic sun rise things you can go do on the volcanos and see all the hot lava while the sun comes up - So excited for you

Sorry to hear that so much is going on - I know you can handle it, like always, but it is hard on the body/mind when it is running non stop, and our sleep isn't even rested all the way because of the anticipation of the coming day. Vacation sounds like just what you need

Hope you have a good weekend!

[moisy]

WOOHOO for an awesome vacation spot!!
I would love to go to Hawaii!!
Are you going to visiting "anyone" that we know??? lol

[AgeRage]
