Update on the goals

Its been a little while since I started my goals, I have to admit that I am doing well on all of them except one....and that one is I have not started to lift my little weights...haven't been able to get myself to do that. Sooooo I am going to work hard at trying to do it at least once this coming week. So wish me luck. I did have a craving one day to go and eat a big ole burger but somehow found myself upstairs in the fridge making a turkey sandwich. How that all happened I will never know but it felt good not to be desperate to the point I had to go and have a hit. So I will keep truckin and keep the chin up....so far pretty darn good. Hooray for me!!!!

And the race is on.............love a good race

The race is on to loose 15 lbs. The gun was fired and we are out of our starting blocks. Angie, Wendy, Melisa and Me. Who is going to be the grand prize winner...$200.00 jackpot....Of course I am sure that it will be me. Wendy on the other hand swears that she will be the winner, and Melisa informed us that she lost a whole chunk of weight in 3 mo before so she is thinking no sweat....Angie....hmmm well her comment was go ahead and win I don't care. So based on all of that I am bettin on me to win. Competitive you say...yessiree we definately are competitive with challenges. Keeps you young and happy. So...I look forward to April 13 2009 with a champion heart. Smiling all the way to a spa for my massage and facial.....oh how sweet it will be ....So here's wishing you all a fun filled race ane may the biggest looser win....Mom

I am so grateful for those "still quiet moments"

I was so excited to go to my religion class today. I look forward to it every week for it has become such a highlight in my life right now. I truly love going. When they began the class they informed us that the teacher had fallen a couple of weeks ago and hit his head. He seemed to be doing alright but this morning was rushed into surgery because he had a detached retna (sp?). Bro Christensen has made a place in my heart that I will treasure throughout all eternity. I enjoy his personality and I enjoy his gift of teaching with the spirit and the fun and joy he adds to my learning. I was dissappointed to say the least, I wanted so much to partake of his spirit and knowledge but I got in my little Crown Vic and headed out to come home. As I was coming home there was that moment when I felt the tenderness of the spirit give me what I always received in his class and that was comfort and love. I am so grateful to know how Heavenly Father is so aware of each of us and blesses us with tenderness when there is a need. I was filled up and was so grateful for that still quiet moment when I had exactly what I wanted and needed. I pray that when you are in need that you will have a still quiet moment that will bless you, comfort you and lift you. Love, Mom

My Goals for 2009

Happy New Year!!!!Let's hope that 2009 turns out to be a wonderful and peaceful year, cross your fingers, knock on wood and don't let any black cats walk in front of you. I am in the process of setting some goals for the year. I looked at the goals I set last year and I am proud to say that there was only one I did not fulfill. I am one happy camper. So I debated about putting my goals on the blog and decided to do it. I will post perodically how I am doing and whether or not things are going well or not so well. I concluded that the reason I was successful in accomplishing last year goals was because I wanted to accomplish them. Wanting being the key word in my success. I want to accomplish these goals also so I am hoping that it will be a successful year for me again. So here are my goals:

1. Eat better foods each day

a. eat at least 3 fruits and veg every day

b. drink 4 to 8 glasses of water every day

c. have not more then 2 sugary items per day

2. Exercise

a. go to the pool and do the river walk for 30 to 60 min 3 days a week

b. work out on the bicycle for 20 to 30 min 3 days a week on level 3 or higher

c. lift the 2 to 5 lb weights 10 to 15 min 3 days a week

3. continue to attend the temple every week

4. Keep a spiritual journal at least 4 times a week

5. Take and complete two academic classes this year.
