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!

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 ...

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 ...

Pink Family

Chris and I are creatures of habit. We like what we like. When we find something especially wonderful, we tend to go a bit overboard. Case in point--Chinese restaurant in Minot, ND. We frequented it often at least a couple of times per week. This was basically THE place we went out to eat. The host actually started to say things like, "nice to see you AGAIN." We were rather embarrassed and fearful that his line would eventually become, "your usual table?" Thankfully we moved. Since coming to Korea, we've tried every Brazilian Steakhouse (there are 4 or 5), I deemed Ceia my favorite. It has the most delicious white rice with which I put this onion mixture on top and it is oh. so. yummy. We became frequent visitors--typically one night per week. We joked between ourselves that we were going to be greeted as we were dreading in Minot. It never happened, thankfully, but who knows what the staff actually said as they primarily spoke Korean :) Another quirk Chris an...
