Two at Home this Year!

Some days are better than others in this homeschooling adventure. We are on the third week of Evan's freshman year, and today marked the beginning of Ethan's seventh grade year. I am looking forward to a great year but we fumbled through the first day. We prepared well but it just seemed to not go as smooth as I had hoped. Oh well, there are plenty of days ahead to work it out.

Color

As I was scrolling through the comments on my Favorite Devotional Blog I ran across a Blogger who had posted this free fun color profile test. It only takes a minute and and it is free. Have fun! Here are my results!

Track and Yeild

Shanda and I went for a smallish 2.5 mile walk today ( now last week) and I am so completely out of shape that it wiped me out. It was that or the 6 hours of school work with the boys. It has been almost one year since I consistently worked out. I have really struggled with getting back into the routine of being in a routine. Please seriously support the Save the Kim from Her Fat Pants Campaign.

I will accept any praise and admiration you can muster. I need help to get my train on the track.



I have good intentions to yield to temptation but the blue bag of Oreo's rendered me powerless about 20 minutes ago and I ate some where between 4 and 8 of them. I really don't know. I should have eaten before I worked out. 3-5 in the afternoon I feel like I am starving. My tummy growls and I get cranky. If you have an idea on how you get through your time o'day please share.

I'm still (for the most part ) proud of my choices today. I do not feel guilt or shame so I will face tomorrow with determination. I will hit the track and dare I say attempt to run. Pray for me.

This was not planned...

For my 33rd birthday we celebrated by going out for dinner. Lindsey and Lauren just happened to show up looking fabulous and color coordinating with my outfit! I love it when we are on the same wave length. BTW- It was a great evening filled with family, friends, food and laughter. My favorite things!

Big Girls DO Cry

I am not talking tears of joy! I am so aggravated that I have gained and lost the same twenty, yes twenty, pounds twice in the last year (August to August). I am sick of this excess weight! I know how to eat right and exercise. I actually enjoy exercise.

That's it I am back on the top of my own priority list. I'm making a come back. Watch out Firm step you are about to have the dust blown off and Billy you are going to kick box me back into shape! Not to mention the sparkpeople SHANDA told me about.

Besides The Biggest-Looser is coming back and I always regret not being in shape the moment it comes on. Let's get physical!
