Weigh In

Pitiful.  I haven’t posted in exactly a week.  The reasons are as follows:
Work has been extremely busy which leaves me no time for slacking, and because I am OCD, also leaves me no lunch time.  I bring my lunch (turkey sandwich a la diet lifestyle change).  So because I am who I am, I eat [...]

Weigh In

Okay, so the diet lifestyle change weigh in day is today.  Maybe part of being accountable is posting about it here.  (ugh)  I did Weight Watchers for 3 weeks before starting Thrive, this past week.  Total weight loss to date is 13 lbs. in 4 weeks.  That’s lovely and all… except that 7.4 lbs of [...]

Exhortation vs. Encouragement

Have you ever taken that spiritual gifts test?  The one that shows not just what your top 3 are, but also gives you what percentage of each that you are?  I’ve taken it a few times, aiming for different results, trying to see if I’d changed, etc.  One of my highest is always exhortation, and one [...]

Mirena, and uhm…you know

Strangely enough, my rather quiet little blog has remained rather hush hush except for a few friends until I started posting information about the Mirena.  Guess there are people out there interested in it.  I was.  I did a lot of online research before I got it, went through forums and blogs and stuff like [...]

Conviction and Sin

For about a month now, I’ve been coming to grips with something God is speaking to me.  Being overweight is a sin.  Or, more accurately, what I have done to get overweight (i.e. overeat) is a sin.  As is not being a good caretaker / steward of the body God has given me.  Kinda puts [...]

Grape Skin

Inside of grape = good, skin = nasty.  Peeling with teeth makes a big mess.  Worth it.

Overwhelmed

It’s the day after Buy A Little More.  I’m mostly caught up on sleep, but am definitely still riding the high of how awesome the weekend was.  I don’t think I’ve managed to put coherent thoughts together yet, so here’s some random ones:

Our Life Group is amazing.  Where one of us goes, the others do [...]

Day 2, Mirena

What a difference some prayers, pampering from my husband and a night of rest makes.  Today is MUCH better, just some cramping.  Nothing unmanageable.  This is good, because this will be a busy weekend with this going on.  I’m really looking forward to it though.  Hopefully, my body will adjust quickly and continue getting back [...]
