30 days...

Thirty days: one month.

My wonderful friend Leslie had a spectacular idea to help get our butts in gear to loose unwanted bumps and bulges!

{While getting healthy and loosing weight one should not reward one-self with food...}

Leslie's idea is to have a party at the end of a 30 day period to show off what we have accomplished and to have great fun with wonderful friends!

Now- this 30 day period (our first of what I hope to be many) starts the 25th of January!

I am still figuring out the specifics but one goal I do have is to loose ten pounds! It may seem like a lot in 1month but I am convinced that if I actually try I will succeed!

Things to help me STAY on track:

I will be purchasing a treadmill (from my mother!! So excited!)

I will be purchasing a new set of workout clothes! (super inspiring if I do say so myself!)

I will be keeping track of my progress in my fitness journal! (If I can locate it!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We still have to decide the theme and the details of our goal-achieving-healthy-lifestyle-praise-the-Lord party.... And maybe the title of the party! But I am expectant and ready to put in the work!


A Lot can happen in 30 days.......let's see what God has in store for this next 30 days!

Hoops I did it again...

Do you remember the days of Relient K, John Reuben, T-Bone, white eyeliner, butterfly clips and Leonardo DiCaprio?

Yes I must confess I was a part of Leo mania from age 11 to.....how old am I again?

So I was thinking back to my adolescent days, of how everything was so dramatic and how when I felt a feeling it was felt in all extremity of the feeling! I was always hoping for the future days- days of when I would be able to drive and have a boyfriend (which of course would be Leo!). Days when I would get to have a job and pay my own bills and own my own checkbook!

Little did I know that gets old quick!

Thinking back on my life has made me realize that I have always longed for a different day than the one I was given. Always reaching for a new season.

To be content...

What a concept! Being JOYFUL in the day God has given me! Being THANKFUL for the season God has placed me in!

Still learning... Still seeking... Still longing for the hope of the future- the future the God has for me!

Thank you Lord for your plans!
