first day of "summer"

On this the first day of Summer at work, I find myself reflecting on the past "year". The kiddos are twice the size they were last "year" and I am still working towards my same goals.
- God's plan which may or may not include the things below this line
- School
- Weight Loss
- Running
- Reading

I did do myself a favor last night, the last night of my break from school because summer school started today, and finished a really great book I think I started at Christmas. I was only ever able to read it in the car and we have not done many long trips this year. The book was "Unlikely Disciple" by Kevin Roose and I highly recommend it. It is about a non christian student from a secular school doing their study abroad at Liberty University. I am glad I chose to read this and not some girl falls in love book. I was completely satisfied with the choice. I think that God showed Curtis this book for me because I came from the same kind of household/family/background as the author and it made me who I am today.

Weight Loss- I have taken a lazy approach at but am glad I made the lifestyle change to only eat foods that are in season. Curtis and I have become obsessed with the Farmers Market at Pearl Brewery and visit at least once a week. My plan is to cut back on my fried and sweet intake.

Running- since I had pnuemonia I have lost the want to run because I am scared but also because I don't have a partner since Hubby is down for the count with his injury. My goal right now is to build endurance through breath training in the pool :) another thing I am tippy toeing back into.

This summer I will be enthralled with school. I will work at a school, go to CUNY and CLEP two courses all before Labor Day. Pray for me :)

    Girl, I definitely hear you on the weight loss goal. JOnathan and I are wanting to start trying to have kids in September, after our 2 and a half year late honeymoon. So I am really trying to slim down before we start trying. I have been doing the "30 day shred" by jillian michaels, but I don't feel like it is enough of a work out. So I have decided that starting next week I am going to start doing 2 a days. In the mornings, I will do a work out video and then in the evenings, I will go running. Hopefully with Jonathan, because I have no motivation by myself. :-(

    What kind of work out/ running plan do you have? I need to find a good running plan I like..

    Keep up the good work. I know its hard. :-)

LIFE: Camp

I have had an awful lot of un published blogs lately. These blogs come from deep routed feelings that have surfaced this year due to one thing or another. Maybe some day these blogs will be unearthed but for today, this blog needed to be written while it was still raw.  I have very vague memories of third or forth grade summer camp at Alto Frio, where I met Nana Pudding ( a christian puppet) and went pogging for the first time in a river. Summer after sixth grade,  I got in church vans and headed to Louisiana for the first time to attend Student Life Camp, then proceeded to go to Angelo State University and Glorieta New Mexico a few times. I spent time serving during spring breaks at Riverbend Retreat Center which lead to an internship over the summer. The week that "Curtis" and I first really got to know each other, we were at Glorieta for Centrifuge camp.  Camp is a special place for me. Camp is a happy place for me.  In 2018, I was able to experience camp through ...

LIFE: The Thing I was Promised I Could Not Do

I feel like every post I make, I am finding more of my voice again. I never in my life felt like I would have a voice to share about some of the more body related posts that I have made, but here I am to share about another personal body part- lol! I realized I had not shared about my breast feeding journey and I feel like it is something that might help someone. So the journey starts on a very cold day in January 2018. As I have noted in previous blogs, I had a c-section which was not 100 percent my goal but 100 percent perfect in every way. I was told going into my c-section that it may take a little longer for my milk to fully come in but it was not going to be impossible. So when my little guy was able to join me in the room we would be in, we went to work. I was still very medicated and he made his wiggly way to the source. I knew not much was coming but he was happy at the end of each feeding attempt, but his blood sugar was low and the nurses wanted me to switch to formula and w...
