fireproof


i enjoy reading blogs, mostly as someone lurching in the background--incognito. i have come across several that have raved about the movie "fireproof." chris watched it a couple of weeks ago and liked it as well. curious, i rented it last night. it was great. a bit over the top emphasis on religion, but excellent message. chris and i have a good marriage. we've worked for years on becoming open communicators as this hasn't always been the case. jessica--i'm sure you remember sitting in silence at applebee's! yes, we've had our glorious moments. anyway, we reflect on our relationship often and talk about things we like/don't like in others' relations. this passion to better ourselves and our life was really heightened by this movie. so much, in fact, that i am going to order the book--Love Dare. it is all about what you can do for your spouse to strengthen your love and becoming less selfish. definitely a key component for any great marriage. it also has a huge emphasis on putting your faith in God and living life according to his rules. i've always been a faithful follower, but again, there is always room for improvement. a challenge i accept on all fronts.

Kara,
It is funny as I had heard the same thing about this movie. I had done a little research on my own and decided to buy the book. Our friends, Juanita and Jon had a bible study at their church based on the book. She thought it was awesome!! Good luck in your endeavor. I have to wait until I have time to read something other than a textbook!

Happy Halloween!

The Halloween festivities are in full swing here. We attended a "Fall Festival" at my school on Thursday evening and today we enjoyed a "fall festival" at the girls' school. We've managed to keep their costumes a secret until Wednesday when Claire spilled the beans. She was doing so well at keeping the secret, I almost thought she wasn't our child for awhile ;) Claire dressed as "Pinkalicious" and Mya was a cupcake. My Mom and Dad bought Claire the book, "Pinkalicious" for her first birthday. It has been an on-going hit with our girls. They both have the entire book memorized. It is such a cute book where this girl named "Pinkalicious" loves pink. She eats too many pink cupcakes and turns pink, which she is thinks is simply beautiful then red, which is less than favorable. She eats her vegetables to turn alleviate her pain. In the meantime, her little brother is envious and devours the last one, then turns pink too. It is a ...

my workout playlist

I never dreamed I'd be listening/watching this when I worked out, but it is true. Here it is: photo courtesty of Laurieberkner.com I wouldn't have it any other way. My little healthy lifestyle journey is going well. I have exercised 7 days thus far which consists of treadmill activity and an ab workout every other day. I don't pressure myself to run everyday, but I have run 4 of the 7 days. I am quite proud of that. I have never been a runner or enjoyed running, but I have grown to like it. I used to say that I had exercise induced asthma! I think I did, but maybe I outgrew it? ha. Whatever the reason, I am finding it pretty easy to run and maintain a steady pace for no less than 20 minutes each time. Pretty impressive feat for a girl like me. Interestingly, I had planned to take today off, but didn't. I actually had the desire to run. Chris and I are both sticking to the eating plan as well. So far I am down about 4 pounds. Although 4 pounds is plenty, it ...

0.0

Yes, indeeedy do. 0.0 is exactly the amount of weight I lost this week. Irritating! Here's the breakdown: number of times I cheated on my diet--ZERO! number of times I worked out--FIVE!! (running, no less). Now that is a mean, mean slap in the face. After I picked myself off the floor and resisted the urge to throw the scale through my window, I've come to realize that it is time to call in the big guns. There will be no messing around. Through a very valuable (HA!--sense the sarcasm) inservice this year, I've learned that I am "Green," meaning logical, research based, problem solver, mathmatical thinker. I am applying the same thought and strategy to my 'get fit' adventure. There will be no relying on the treadmill to tell me how much I've burned. That thing lies, LIES, LIES!! Take for example, the fact that each time I worked out, I burned at least 300 calories--most often 350, my pulse was around 87 (which is pretty much a near death resting ...
