I Made It To 15

Fifteen days of Insanity!   I can't believe I have done so well at not skipping days.

Today I found the one workout that I was missing.  I found it on the Chinese site that is like Youtube.  So I was able to do the Cardio Power.  It has a lot more jumping but surprisingly I was able to do some of it.  And it also had a lot of push-ups.  I just do the push-ups on my knees.  I have decided not to push myself beyond what I can do.  It is better to do the girl push-ups and get a bunch in (I think).

I still have the big belly that I started with but I do think my waist is maybe a tiny bit smaller.  Go figure!  But I only started the ab workout yesterday.  I did half of it yesterday and about half of it today too.  It is only on the schedule once a week.

I have also been gluten free for about two weeks or a little more.  I almost gave in today and had a burrito but at the last minute I ordered an enchilada.  And the cookies at work tempt me each and every day.

The meal plan that goes with the Insanity workout is another option.  I would just need to go shopping and stock up on the items they suggest.  Mostly yogurts and bagels and maybe some salmon.  At least with gluten free I can still eat ice cream.  But I'm not losing the weight like I had hoped yet so I don't know if I should try something new as far as my meals.  Who knows.  I have only weighed myself once since I started the workout so maybe I will be surprised when I check next time.

Tomorrow is the fit test.  I hope to be pleased.

Hot town!

Of course you have heard me complain about the heat lately. This will be a regular thing for the next couple of months. I looked on CNN weather page to see just how hot it was and it said at midnight that it was "99 and dreary". So true. We are thankful for electricity and air conditioners. When I do aerobics I turn the a/c on and it makes it bearable. You would think that the fat would just melt off. The problem is that ice cream is so cold and refreshing. Then there are mango shakes. yum.

Redeemed

Psalm 49:7-8 “No man can by any means redeem his brother.  Or give to God a ransom for him.  For the redemption of his soul is costly.” It is an amazing thing when someone comes to faith in God.  Last night I got to witness my brother in-law give his life to Jesus.  His life was redeemed.  The ransom for his soul was paid by Jesus long ago, but yesterday he was set free. My brother in-law was in darkness.  He knows his life was full of darkness and demonic presence.  He has been hearing about Jesus for years and knew that if he ever decided to become a follower that he would do it completely, not half heartedly.  He finally saw that he needed Jesus.  So yesterday he prayed a beautiful prayer acknowledging his need to get rid of the darkness in his life and knowing he can’t do it on his own.  Jesus filled his life.  My brother in-law said he felt something leave.  It was the darkness.  Jesus has filled his life...

The Party

Last night I went to Allison's (sis in-law) batchlorette party. It was at a mexican restaurant/bar. It was a very crowded place so we weren't able to get a big table all together. Allison and her girl friends were at one table and the old folks (me and others) were at our own table (feeling awkward). Allison showed up at the place drunk already, from a bit too many drinks in the limo. I thought it would be embarrassing to be around your mother in-law to-be and your grandmother in-law to-be, but she didn't seem too worried about it. Allison wasn't a bad drunk really. She was a little loud, but not obnoxious. I felt old. I had a new dress on, but I ended up looking like an old lady instead of a young thing. I had some nice shoes on too. But my purse, which looked fine at home, turned into an old lady purse. It was also cold out, so I had a shawl. I'm glad I had it but it just added to the old lady look. I don't drink for two reasons. First, I am che...
