Co-garden update, working out, and doing all the things!



Who's up for Tuesday???

Another good start to today. It started last night. I got a lot done at home that I had been putting off, then went for a nice evening walk. Later we watched the second 'new' Star Trek (so awesome), and got in plenty of laughs. Everything pales in comparison to laughter.

I DID go to the gym this morning for week 2 of crazy workout.

Now it's work, work, work.

Welcome to the jungle! This place is crazy. I can't keep up with the weeds, so I'm trying to maintain the areas just around the base of our plants. 

We must have 100+ cherry and chocolate cherry tomatoes on the vine. Most of the tomato plants have out grown the cages, and I'm going to have to come up with an alternative support system.








Cucumbers coming out of our ears! Or pitchers rather.


We're eating a lot of salads these days.

Work it girl

2nd week of crazy workout. I got the plan here if you're interested in reading about it. I did have to pay for the download, but so far I'm not regretting my purchase. 

I'm supposed to fill in the days around the workout with something other than just walking or jogging, but since I had taken time off, I'm not pushing too hard. I do want to be able to function daily.

So far we have done Tuesday: legs, Thursday: arms, and weekend: abs. 



I sweat more doing these exercises than I do when I run. It's pretty intense. Reading the plan doesn't give the impression that it will be challenging, but if you've experienced plyometric classes, or bootcamps at the gym, then you'll recognize the layout and understand how hard this can be. 

Get a workout partner, give it a try, and don't give up. When we can't finish a set in time, but still have a 30-60 seconds left, we plank it out.

 Doing this and that (or just this)

 We have rain again today, and knowing that was coming, I mowed yesterday. It has been tough to keep up this year. I wanted to help so I laced up my yard shoes and got to it.

I stepped in an ant mound somewhere. Now I have ant bites on my hands and feet.

Nature....



Truth.

A feeling on a Friday

Sometimes you just have to trust God and go with it. I'm so thankful for the opportunities I've gotten during my life, good and bad, that have shaped me into the chick that I am. I want to radiate the love of Christ through patience, understanding, and hospitality. I think helping and giving are in my bones. I get so excited when I know of an opportunity to lend a hand, lend a shoulder, lend a room, lend a car, whatever it may be. It's what Jesus did, and what He wants us to WANT to do. Oh, but my little mind gets in the way. Don't think for a second that it's easy to give out of lack. It may be true that the less fortunate give a higher percentage of themselves than those well-off, but, that doesn't mean that it is done without worry from time to time. I've tithed BIG amounts, and right before I do, I always worry about that time coming when I'll say "oh, if only I had held on to that money". My stomach knots and my heart races. Then I

Growing up, self-tanners, ...and doing all the things!!!!

Do you ever make lists of things you need to do? I don't mean things like stopping for gas, or buying a new nail polish. I mean BIG things. Grown up things. The kind of things that you have to do on your lunch break when the business is open. Things that require legal jargon, or measurements, or notaries. I've had a pretty overwhelming list for the past 4 months. I'm finally getting to the end of it, which feels good. Looking back however, I've noticed how much I ran from these tasks. Decisions that can change the course of your life need to be well thought out, and executed with importance. I took the time to research them, organize the plan, and then.....I postponed. I didn't delay because I didn't want to face them. I didn't delay because it caused an emotional downturn. I delayed simply because "I don't wanna!". I wanted my mom to do it, or my teacher, or my big sister. I don't wanna go talk to the mean man behind the desk. I don

What's the future Wednesday, just give me cherries and tell me I'm pretty, and stuffs

Deep conversations with friends about the future Why do I do this to myself? I really think God puts this stuff on my heart so often because He is trying to get my attention. Why mine? I have no idea, and sometimes, I don't want to find out. How scary (and amazing, and scary) to think that He would want MY attention for anything. Gives me the bleeps, the sweeps, and the creeps. What do I do when I'm confused after talking to God for an hour? Consult my friend that is struggling to understand His plan too! God probably loves those conversations. I really mean that. I know He loves to see us talking about pleasing Him. But....we aren't so good at it. The good news is, He already knows that. It doesn't make it ok to just put Him on the back burner when we are unsure of our next move, but it does make it ok that we are imperfect. Whew! Recently we have been discussing where and upon what we should place our life focus. We, as humans, like to make plans for our futur
