WTG on the workout, sunny and to wilma for knowing when to rest!!
I finally remembered to bring the exercise machine (gazelle knockoff) down so hubby could tighten it up... which he did... and I'm ready to get back on it.
have a wonderful day, everyone!!
When I kept silent about my sin, my body wasted away through my groaning all day long. For day and night Thy hand was heavy upon me; my vitality was drained away as with the fever heat of summer. /Psalm 32:3/
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness /1 John 1:9/
Sunny...the movie was an "EXPERIENCE", to say the least! I've never been anywhere, either, where there were so many people...& leaving without saying a single word!!! Our son & daughter was waiting at their car for us afterwards. (they actually sat all the way through it) Our son thanked us, & said it was "different" from things they were used to doing. We are really concerned about them. They have 2 beautiful little girls, but their home is in a terrible mess. Keeps us on our knees. Please, help us pray for them.
I don't have time to stay long...Mondays are long for me. I did want to drop by & say hello....I appreciated the links given, also,Eeyore.
The puppy is adorable, Gary...I took more pics of Molly & Milly Saturday. Will post later.
Gary~OH, Rylee is so cute! Want to just squish her! How fun to have a pup! And oh so much WORK! Try to enjoy it....
Sunny! The date with Charlie was really nice. He didn't have time to plan our Valentine date so asked if we could do something more casual, dinner and a movie. I was a little peeved, i like to know what we're doing, not so good with spontaneity but said it was fine. Thought to myself, oh, i could just stay home and watch Cops and AMW, but went anyway and then.......I had a wonderful time! He really is so sweet, so good to me. Treats my like a lady, all the way. Like a princess really, always making sure i'm comfortable and ok, very considerate. We went to a nice place for dinner, had great conversation, he's interested in my life and i feel he's sincere. Then we went to see the movie Miracle, which we both enjoyed, then we went to have a martini, talked and he brought me home. At dinner he shocked me. He asked me if I'd consider going on a trip with him......He has to go for work and wanted to know if i'd go. He says, "Would you rather go to Malaysia or Australia? Or you could stay in Australia and I'll go on to Malaysia and come back for you" I'm like, "HUH?....." I don't know if it'll happen but I'd certainly have to consider a trip like that. It'd be a dream trip for me!
Les didn't call me all weekend, not sure what's up with him :roll: and i've heard from a voice from the past, not sure what'll happen with that either.
Have a busy week ahead and this weekend on Sat. is holy spirit day for Alpha, may only go half day cuz of work, and Sunday is my Birthday! Shhhhh, don't tell anyone!
My back is still hurting, but nothing like it was, need to go to the chiro again i think to get adjusted. Hips are really hurting still, but i'm so much better, on the right path i think.
Hello I am having trouble sleeping my back is killing me! I also I am cutting down on my diet coke and I am having bad withdraws! I want my Diet coke back!!!!!!! I realized that was drinking 2-2liters or more per day and MAYBE that could be some of my tummy problems. but only MAYBE! I saw the movie and all I can say is Lord I am sorry that my sins put you on that cross for me. I have read the stories and thought I could vision the pain but it was so much more!
EZ-Just think you could train your new dog to be a seing eye dog!LOL ok enough of the OLD jokes! Your puppy is so cute! I quit putting the potty pads down when I realized my puppy was peeing under them! I pick up the pad and think she had been good and this big dried spot would be on the floor! Good luck potty training!
Angellover-Will keep your family in prayer! I really trust in the passage train a child in the way he should go and he will return to it. But the hard part is in His time! You are such a strong example and your children need that.
Mitchypoo-I am glad you had such a good time. Who knows where this will lead! I hope your back feels better!
Wilma-I feel your pain it is re-enrollment time for benefits and you have sign up on the comp. A lot of people still don't know how to use a comp!
eeoyre-I just love your passage I feel like your posting them just for me! After the movie I thought I really need to Pray more. I feel like I pray for others but I really don't pray for myself! I guess I hate to confess what I struggle with because it would make me have to look at myself then I would have to give up my bad habits (to much diet coke, spending to much on ebay ect....)
SunnyD-My Mom wants to go see the movie but I am not sure I can watch it again! I did a WI on Sunday and I have lost 7 lbs!!!!!! I know it is because I have been staying away from what makes me so sick! (why do I eat things I know I will be sorry for later? That no spoiled child in me that says no one will tell me what I can and can't eat!)
Well got to go. I need to take my dog to the Vet! She is getting THE surgery!
It's snowing lightly here. Lovely picture if it was December. At least now we know that it won't last long. It's starting to get really messy here with the snow melting. It is nice to see grass peeking through in places.
Went back to Curves today-felt great. I must have a virus in my back because none of the machines felt like they had put a strain on it. I didn't go overboard with my workout but did the full 3 rounds.
Sami: WAY TO GO on the weight loss. Isn't our gain mostly because of things we shouldn't eat?? I know mine is.
I better get going to work. Hope you all have a great day!
sami - it's cool to see how God uses seemingly small or random things to impact others. praise GOD!! I pray that your back will be healed and you can get back to feeling normal!! I haven't seen the movie but imagine I'll feel the same way afterward, like I can't even know until till I see it. But isn't it awesome that it doesn't stop at the cross??
Hallelujah!!
wilma: glad to hear you're not overdoing.. we don't want you getting hurt!!
I got back on the "gazelle" machine here yesterday and it felt good to be back on after the long "break." I only did 15 min. and .44 miles but it was an exercise achievement and I am all about the baby steps and the littlest woohoos!! Thank You, God!! Looking forward to going again today, but have to take hubby to the doctor first (shocker!) - he has a burning sore throat and is sore from some twists and falls on the ice this past weekend.
Have a great Tuesday, everyone!!!

GOD'S DAILY PROMISE
God works through those who follow him
How do we know if we are following after the wrong things?
"They have wandered off the right road and followed the way of Balaam son of Beor, who loved to earn money by doing wrong." 2 Peter 2:15 NLT
If you find yourself compromising your values in order to please those who don't know God, then you are following after the wrong things.

Good Morning CER's...
I just got home from my Curves class --- boy does it ever feel good after I go and workout! I feel so tired till I get started. I also got in my 64oz of water and then some yesterday. That is a real problem area for me, so I really have to work at it (part of my being consistent).
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hi EEYORE,
Thanks for the encouragement How are you doing these days?? Are you doing with your plan??
I just got an e-mail that you posted this morning while I was typing my post. Congrats to you EEYORE!!!!
So happy that you began getting in your workouts again!!!! You did well to start, just do what you can because it's more then you did before
I hope your hubby feels better real soon!! God Bless!! Thinking of you!
Morning MICHELE,
I never came back to CER's yesterday - was busy elsewhere I am sorry you felt abandoned... I know the feeling - believe me. There has been long pauses on the threads these days. Spring is Springing and I don't know about anyone else, but now that the sun is shinning, I see allot of winter dust! SO have tons to do!
So happy to hear that you had a good time with Charlie! But I must say that I feel a bit cautious about you going on a trip with him (you know what that usually means, don't you?). Just do not want to see you get into a situation you cannot get out of, you know? Be careful, okay. I will hold you close in prayer as to your decision.
Hi ANGEL,
I knew you would feel that way about the movie also - awesome (!) How was your day yesterday? Didn't work too hard I hope
Hi SAMI,
I so know what you are saying about eating foods that make you ill!!!!!!!! I have done it more then I care to say. I am so happy for you that you lost 7lbs!!!That is wonderful! You really must try to get rid of that pop - it is the worse thing for IBS!!! All that air! That's probably why your back is hurting you so badly... (I really do feel for you!) I know that when I have an IBS attack I always, always hurt in my sides and lower back from the spasms in my small & large intestines. Try real hard to drink more water - I cannot tell you how good I have been feeling since I began drinking the water I should.
About "The Passion" - Joe & I were thinking about going to see it again at the threatre ~ we'll take your mom Feel better, SAMI!
Hi WILMA,
So good to hear that you are feeling a bit better today. Maybe you just needed some rest. I go a full 3x at Curves too - with the stretching it comes out to 45 minutes at Curves.
Did you mention snow ! I feel for you guys... so far we still have temps into the 50's and only have had bouts of rain. It's sunny off & on this morning - peeking through the clouds. Not bad at all. I can handle this... we need the rain for the gardens...
Speaking of rain How's it going in California GARY & GARNET?? I see you guys are getting it allot!
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Well guys... I must be going and getting my day started (still have to stop at my Curves thread this morning )

Oh MICHELE,
?? I forgot to ask you something...?? What Birthday will this be for you on Sunday?
Hope you don't mind me asking...
I was just thinking while doing some paperwork (do that once in awhile )
Thought to myself - "she doesn't have a year on her stats"
Sooooooo... ... ... I just popped 'on line' real quick to ask you
Hope you are having a good day today
Have not posted for a bit - lots going on here. But have just got caught up on all the posts.
Gary - happy belated birthday - gosh to be that young again!!!
Son gave us a run for the money this weeken - really did a number on us. But I have to keep remembering that he isn't into drugs, alcohol or dating (yet!). But is having a terrible time with having to obey rules such as being home on time after youth group - he is consistently late by 1/2 - 1 hour. And attitudt toward me it horrendous - anything mom says to him he has to roll his eyes at but then says that he cares. I am sure he does deep down but his actions do not match up with what he is doing. So we have to come down a bit harder on him this weekend. He also just wrote some things for an assignment he is doing on 'love' that is unnerving / scary - so we are having someone from our church who is a high school principle and also has just raised 3 teens look at what our son has written - to get his opinion if it is something we should be concerned about. It has put me into a scare mode of just what son is thinking and might do!!
Anyway on the weigh issues:
Have now walked a total of 737 miles since Jan 2 2002. Feel good about that.
Have had 15 workouts at Curves.
Have lost 6 pounds this year and in February I lost 6 inches.
So my changes are starting to show results. Small changes eventually become habits.
sprout - don't I know it with the teen boy issue... only we have three (13, 14 and 15) giving us fits all at once everything from dabbling in the dark side to being too close to abusing the wrong authority!! my heart goes out to you as a mom and sister in Christ.
mitchy - what happens when you get to "21" again?? LOL
sunny - good girl on the water intake! I don't need as much, but still don't always pay attention to getting it in. It definitely makes a difference!
update on hubby: no signs of strep or flu, blood taken for mono but even if it's that there's nothing to do but get lots of rest and take in plenty of fluids. of course he hasn't done either so not sure why we wasted $10 on the copay.
workout: 15 more minutes today and .60 miles - so short after having worked up to 45 minutes back in Dec/Jan; but still feels like an accomplishment so Praise the Lord!!!
another nice day here with a little spittle of rain, but I'm still being very cautious as some of the biggest snowstorms have hit in March in the past!! I appreciate all of it... even the mud. God knows what He's doing and we chose to follow Him here. It's all a blessing in its own way.
have a wonderful evening and see u all next time...

You are so adorable MICHELE!
I just popped in to see if you responded, sitting here with my hair wrapped in a towel after a wonderfully warm shower... Joe will be home soon with chilli from Wendy's for dinner (he's cooking tonight ) and then we are heading out to go shopping @ Costco's.
So I will check back again later this evening.
Take Care! {{{Hugs}}}

sing your praise to the Lord!!
Good morning, good morning!
