Choose Being

Each week at church I take notes during the sermon and stick them in my purse.  This week as I pulled out the paper to put it in the recycler, I thought...why do I even take notes if I don't share them with anyone or put them where I can revisit them in the future.  And then it hit me...I can put them on my blog!!!  They may or may not mean anything to anyone else, but they might and I will be able to review them as I look through my posts each month.  So here is the 1st of my church notes....

Ways of Being & Relating to Others

1. Who's going to inherit the earth?
--those that are meek or humble....just like finding a wild horse and breaking it.
Meekness is knowing your strength and using it to give to God and others rather than just being strong and going wild with your strength.

2. Who will be satisfied?
--those that hunger for the thirst of righteousness.
Snickers may make us satisifed for a moment but then we will need more and be hungry.
Eating healthy and the best nutrients will keep us full longer with more energy.
Being right with God and others is fulfilling and satisfying.

3. Who will have mercy?
--those that show mercy to others.
Live life knowing things are planted on our riverbank...make those thing positive as they will flowinto your stream of life.  Don't let your riverbed get polluted with the negative
Fix your thoughts on what is true and honorable.

These are not natural things, they must be learned.
You must be taught them and allow aupport. .
Continue to come to church and be willing to let them in.
Are you willing to take the risk and be merciful?
It's not easy...we need to support one another and stay strong!

Home Workouts brought my Pre-Baby Body & Confidence Back

After having my two girls, I struggled with getting to the gym as its daycare hours didn’t work around my schedule.  The best day for me was Saturday morning and thenI had to gather my iPad, earbuds, towel, diapers, wipes and two girls.  By the time we were buckled into the car, 30 minutes later, someone had to go to the bathroom.  Then once we got to the gym, I did an hour of cardio while watching Mad Men and walked around the equipment trying to recall sessions with a personal trainer years ago.  Then a week later, we did it all over again and during the week, I walked outside a few nights a week.  My eating habits were somewhat healthy, but I finished my daughter’s mac and cheese and nibbled on her pretzels and goldfish during snack time. As a result, I didn't lose weight, I was tired and I was somewhat depressed as I missed the time and luxury of going to the gym before they were born. Then a friend posted her results from 21 Day Fix and I asked he...

Shakeology No Bake Cookies

Over the weekend, I made Shakeology No Bake Cookies (or balls). I prefer to make these as balls rather than flattening them as cookies.  I've made them with both Chocolate and Vanilla Shakeology and both are good.  Using the Vanilla Shakeology actually creates Peanut Butter Balls...you don't really notice the vanilla...it just mixes in.  My girls and husband prefer the Peanut Butter Balls, but when I am craving chocolate...this is a great option!  The girls love helping with this recipe and it's super easy! Ingredients:  1 cup Chocolate or Vanilla Shakeology 1 cup all-natural peanut butter 1 cup quick-cooking rolled oats 1/2 cup raw honey How to Make:  Combine ingredients into a medium bowl, mix well with rubber spatula or by hand. Roll mixture into balls about 1 inch in size. Put into container. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours. Enjoy cold. If you are interested in more healthy eating or Shakeology recipes or are looking for fitness ...

3 Day Refresh Review...

I decided to take Beachbody's 3 Day Refresh with a goal to lose a few more pounds, eliminate diet soda, and learn about the program, so I couldshare with others. For over a year, I considered the 3 DayRefresh and feared that I couldn't follow the meal plan because it doesn't have meat and limited liquid choices. No caffeine didn't worry me since I went over 1 1/2 years without caffeine...twice (when I was pregnant & nursing my girls)!! However, giving up all diet soda and meat is something VERY difficult for me.  I have been following the 21 Day Fix meal plan for the past year and love it because it allows me to eat 5-6 times a day with very few limitations.  However, I decided it was time for me to take the challenge and grow with the 3 Day Refresh.   Here is a little info and intro to the 3 Day Refresh... This is an overview of the meal plan for the 3 Day Refresh.... Prepping for the 3 Day Refresh:  Prior to beginni...
