Today I had not planned on going to the gym. I got up and started getting ready for work. But as always the Lord seems to switch things up a bit for me. I still wasn't going to go in. But my wonderful accountability partner Rikki encouraged me to come on in. So off to change my clothes to head in. It was a sluggish start. I did 100 sit-ups with 40 pounds of weight; some arm curls with 15 pounds of weight. I think I did about 30 of them. Those where difficult to do. Then to the the nu-step for a half hour; tread mill half hour and then the bicycle for a half hour. So I would say not a bad work out. Thank you to Rikki for the encouragement to come in. Then today i have done several small walks around the apartment as well. Even CK joined in. I so love when she comes and enjoys the sunshine. It puts such a huge smile on my face. I am thinking about taking another little walk here in a few. It is a beautiful evening and I like taking walks after dinner. I may achieve that great looking shape in no time at all. At least I will be healthier because of the exercise if nothing else.

Do you like going on walks after dinner?

This is the day the Lord has made ans we shall rejoice!

I was down in the The Dalles with my sister and her new roommate.

We finished up taxes today! WHOA!Sad thing we pay in huge and amounts and get like nothing back. 

But yet I will rejoice I'm not paying. Whoa!

Then I made my bed and cleaned up.

Packed up the car with all my laundry and hair equipment.

It was time to head home.

The drive home was extremely stormy!

Hydro planing with water sitting on the freeway. What fun!

So glad I got home safely!

Thank you Jesus!

When arrived home put away all my belongs.

Then delivered a set of taxes to my neighbor; that my sister did for them.

Then on to getting my haircut, grocery shopping.

Pizza with hubby.

Then a ladies night out.

What a blessing.

1 Peter 3:12

"For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and His ears are open unto their prayers."

Lord, help me to put away my selfish pride and show my Christian witness by being friendly to others.

Do you like fresh new hair cuts and styles or do you prefer them after a week or so?

I would like to share the the Afternoon tea with you.My lovely neighbor Pat, once a month seems to have all the ladies over for a lovely tea and light munchies.It is a delightful way to catch up and share; Maybe a little bible study, our prayers request and needs.Or just share girl stuff and talk about women things.Meet our new neighbors or say goodbye to those who are moving.
And sometimes it is a wonderful place to meet with those visiting here with our neighbor's, who are here visiting.Our afternoon teas have been something we all look forward too.It has made for a wonderful time of gathering and community that is closely knit.Each one bringing their bright and shiny smiles and laughter to the tea;Making each afternoon tea, one that is special and different in their own unique way.

Do you enjoy afternoon teas?

Lent Season ~ Thankful List/Verse With Prayer: Day 39

New day dawning! Yep! It is the weekend! I love the weekends. Headed down to my sisters. Will do a perm and get taxes done. What could be better. 

The drive down was beautiful as always. I love the mist of the low laying clouds that give such mystic beauty to the mountain sides. When I arrived we headed over to my sisters girlfriends house for an early Easter event. We had a egg hunt and a wonderful meal. It was lovely. 

I got to play with baby goats! What fun!

I went down memory lane with Davin.

His dad was my Science teacher when I was a kid. I remember having to di- sect a frog in his class. 

Then back to sisters. then the perm. We also started on the Taxes. Yea!

1. An early Easter egg hunt with college age and some adults. What fun!
2. Playing with and holding baby goats; there where seven babies
3. Time with my sister
4. A beautiful drive and arriving safely 
5. Long conversations with friends far away

John 6:37

"All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out."

Father, remind us of why we are the objects of your constant love and care.

Did you do any traveling to see family this beautiful Saturday?

Accountability ~ With Gym and Workouts

Up and at them on a wet rainy Saturday morning. I actually did sleep in a little bit. I was still so tired. Didn't really feel like going to the gym. But I am committed to getting fit. And I love the fact that I have my two girlfriends as accountability partners. I did 55 minutes on the bicycle today and about 15 minutes on tread mill. It was a good work out. I still need to add to it.
I have discovered that I prefer walking outside and doing hikes over the tread mill. But.... I know I'm there to exercise. It is really busy on Saturday mornings. I saw another friend of mine who was there for the Zumba class. Not sure I am ready to try that one again. Maybe.... in the future but not right now. Thank you to my two great work out partners who help me excel in my exercise program! Rikki and Cindy! You two Rock!


Is it hard for you to stay focused on a exercise routine?
