Turbo Sculpt: 40 minutes
So.......losing 1/2 pound while definately seeing an increase in muscle tone = more fat loss than the scale is showing, right?
Esther Bible Study tonight, watching "One Night With the King" tonight.
Tyler is staring out the window rather than finishing his long division. Sigh....Travis has done with most of his assignments for an hour now. He's procrastinating on writing his book report.
I hope you are all having wonderful, productive weeks.

Cardio Party 2: 45 minutes
It's another warm day. It was 75 in my living room by 7 a.m.
Tyler has just finished up his America collage for his citizenship pin, so he has officially completed everything necessary to earn his Webelos badge. Yay Tyler!
Travis has spent the last 1/2 hour making french fries for everybody. That was a yummy cooking class which we all benefitted from.
Tommy is adorable, as usual.
I hope you all have a great day! We have Cub Scouts tonight!

Punch, Kick, & Jam: 50 minutes
I took Tyler and Tommy to the park after church while Jeff and Travis were out on the bus route. We had a good time.
The weather is beautiful today, it's warm. Reminding me that it is better to do my workout before the temperature starts to rise. We have a nice, peaceful afternoon.
We had steak and shrimp for dinner, at Tyler's request. Travis got to pick earlier in the week and he chose tuna casserole. These boys have such different tastes!
I have a Cub Scout Committee Meeting to go tonight. The boys will probably watch a movie or something while I'm gone.
Have a great week everybody!

No formal workout today, not yet anyway. I'll have to make it up tomorrow. Instead, Tyler and I went and picked up branches for 2 hours with the Cub Scouts. The Cubs worked in conjunction with the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts today and had a clean-up day for our Chartered Organization (the church where we have Scouts). We all had a hotdog lunch afterward.
Charles got to leave the hospital yesterday. I was told Carie was going home yesterday too, but have yet to confirm that. I'm hoping that means things are looking better for all concerned.
Dinner is cooking. I am still really tired. I keep falling asleep, urgh. Hope you are all well.

Cardio Party: 45 minutes
15 minutes of Fat Burning Bellydance...that's a toughy.
Carie is getting the help she needs...they think she may have had a mini-stroke which has caused the recent onset of neurological stuff. She is getting help learning to walk again, yay!
Charles is in better condition than he was a couple days ago, but I'm not sure what that means. I don't have any more details on him than that.
I wanted to go see Carie today, but unfortunately circumstances didn't work out for me to do that. I feel really bad about it too, because nobody has been over to see her since I dropped her off. I know how much I hate being hospitalized, and I imagine she must be very uncomfortable. Her father is going to see her this evening, so that's a good thing.
I talked to Rainbow this morning, that was fun. I hope you enjoy your visit with her, Maureen.
That's all for now. Take good care of yourselves and those you love!

Turbo Scuplt: 40 minutes
I hope to get a cardio workout in later this evening.
Tax Day!!! I am so glad I did my taxes months ago.
No news yet on the folks in the hospital. I'm hoping no news is good news.
Tyler got long division down today, yay! Way to go, Tyler! Also got grocery shopping done, dinner made, and laundry almost done. I've been productive, at least.

April 14th
No workout.
A friend asked me if I would give her a sister a ride to a doctor's appt. For a variety of reasons there was no one else available to take her, and she really needed to be seen, so of course I took her. Well, from there we were sent to Bremerton Naval Hospital, and from there we were sent to Madigan. This beautiful young woman, facing some pretty serious symptoms of her MS, was more concerned that she was inconveniencing me than she was about getting the help she needs. They admitted her at Madigan, and I felt horrible about leaving her there alone after she was taken to her room.
For those of you who pray, please add Carie to your prayers for her recovery; and please add her family to your prayers for their comfort: that those who are able to will be there for Carie, and that those who are unable to physically be there will realize they have been there for emotional support and for getting her help.
My sister-in-law had the boys while I was gone, and I went to pick them up in the evening. On my way home I got a voicemail from my other sister-in-law (Jeff's sister) saying she needed to talk to me about my mother-in-law and her husband. I didn't call her back until Jeff's brother to pick up Joshua after youth group. I figured he'd want to know what was going on, and I actually ended up giving him the phone. My mother-in-law's husband has been in the hospital since Tuesday. He has pneumonia and congestive heart failure. He's in his 80s, and has been in a nursing home for the last 6 or 7 years. He may not make it through this time.
More prayer requests: Charles recovery, or quick and painless passing...that the Lord's will be done. Marlene needs comfort and strength to get through this trying time. Linda needs strength and patience and possibly help while she helps her mother deal with all of this.
Okay, it's already 8 a.m. I need to start looking at getting today's workout done and getting on with things. I hope you all have a blessed day!

Turbo Sculpt: 40 minutes
Belly Dance Basic Moves: probably about 30 minutes, I'm not sure, I didn't time it.
Melissa, I took your advice and did some belly dance for stretching. It felt good, and it was fun to do.
I think I've finally found the cause of my back pain------Tommy. Yep, my adorable 2-year-old climbing in bed with me is causing my pain. How do I know this? Because the nights he stays in his own room I don't wake up in pain. He crowds me to the edge of the bed and I can't relax and stretch out.
Esther Bible Study tonight, I'm looking forward to it. It's a rather sunny day considering the gray sky, too funny.
Time to get back to my family and my job. Bye!

There will be Pictures, Eventually
Let me get my van to the car wash, and get out to snap some other pics and I will post soon.
I haven't done my workout yet. Tyler is hogging the TV, but not for too much longer. I also have my Bible studies to run through, and the floors to do.
The kitchen, dining room, and bathroom are clean. and the laundry is going. That sets me up for a good day. Travis is still sleeping off his weekend, Tommy is sleeping in too. I won't complain. We'll just start school a little later than usual today. I'll have Tyler focusing on his Webelos stuff anyway.

April 11th
Sunday, I don't generally do a workout on Sunday but I did this morning. I woke up almost pain free (yay!) with only a twinge in my lower back, and I did the Fit to the Hits: Motown Moves (30 minutes) before I went to church this morning.
I've spent most of the day on my feet, being busy, since church got out. I was almost afraid to sit down to check my e-mail just now because I was afraid I wouldn't want to get back. However, duty gets you moving, and Tommy needed a diaper change so I was up and moving again.
I went out and bought myself two azaleas, bought Tyler a strawberry topsy turvey project, and bought some windowsill greenhouses where I am attempting to start tomatoes and sweet peppers. Jeff put the azaleas in the ground for me this afternoon; Tyler, Tommy, and I planted the strawberries; and Tommy helped me with the vegetable seeds in the mini greenhouses. The goal is to move them to topsy turveys when they have sprouted.
It's not much, but there is now a little bit of color outside. I played with bubbles with Tommy and Tyler for awhile, then weeded out the flowerbed by the door where the azaleas are. It was nice spending some time outside, but I am much too private a person to enjoy too much time on display to the world. That's how I feel in our current location, like we are on display to the world. I've had people tell me how they saw Tommy running through the house, or leaning on the couch when they were driving by.
I washed up the dishes, then watched over Travis and Josh while they made dinner for everybody. They did a good job....burgers on the grill, deep-fried potatoes, and mixed veggies. After dinner, I did up the dishes again, and am now feeling very tired.
At least the house is in decent condition for starting the week. The floors need to be cleaned though, but that can wait until tomorrow.
I hope you all have a good week.

I skipped a formal workout yesterday, but did go for a long walk with Tyler. We flipped the mattress the other day, but I woke up this morning still in pain. I guess it might be time to start thinking about a new mattress. Ours is only about 6 years old though, I guess they aren't made to last.
I didn't want to workout this morning either, but opted for a lower impact option and ended up going longer than normal. It loosened up tight muscles and felt good. The boys came in at separate times and said the different workout was "weird", but I didn't care. It was silly and fun.
NSV: definately seeing more definition and toning, clothes are fitting looser....when will this be reflected on the scale?
Travis is going to a youth group event this weekend. Acquire the Fire...it's supposed to be really neat. A concert and inspiring revival type thing. He is really excited to be going. Josh will be going too, I need to pick him up when he gets out of school this afternoon.
Tyler is having a friend spend the night tonight. I'm thinking we'll order pizza and watch a movie or something.
It still amazes me that a house can fall apart in a short amount of time. I have given my boys nicknames to describe the occasional chaos: Tumultuous Travis, Typhoon Tyler, and Tornado Tommy.
Laundry is calling me. I hope you all have a good day!

I'm feeling a bit stiff today. I woke up yesterday with a kink in my neck, woke up today with the neck thing and lower back pain. Ugh! I realize I was supposed to flip my mattress on the 1st of the month, but didn't think I'd be punished if I waited a week.
Actually, I have been sitting on my couch more than usual also....watching Lost. That may be contributing to the stiffness. I may have to watch Lost standing up, sitting on the floor, or from my computer chair. Stupid couch.
It looks like it might rain today. I hope Travis and I can walk before that happens. We are having a party at WOW tonight, with a huge ice cream sundae (in a gutter, of all things). I'm bringing bananas. The lady in charge doesn't think kids will eat bananas with their ice cream, but I think some will (I know Tyler will).
I missed my date with Melissa online the other night, we missed our discussion......I'm hoping we can make it up. I am also hoping to be able to talk to Rainbow again soon. I miss my friends, and am looking forward to seeing them again.
You all have a blessed day!

Got off to a slow start today, got school started late, but dinner is over and things are progressing. I have Bible Study tonight, but I didn't get my homework done. I have family drama, which culminated in me telling my grandfather if he didn't like my rules he could leave my house (which he did). Deep breath, let the stress go. Yikes!
Travis and I went for a nice walk, and I was feeling good after that. Now I need to figure out how to get back to feeling good. Maybe my Bible study will help.
I hope you are all doing well.

Amanda, Josh, Travis, Tyler, and I went to the drive-in last night to see How To Train Your Dragon and Tooth Fairy. They both were surprisngly funny movies, and we all really enjoyed them. The boys didn't argue or squabble or anything, they were all very good. They laughed and had a good time together. I had to comment on how blessed I felt that I could take 3 boys of such different ages to see family movies and they all really behaved and enjoyed themselves.
Tonight I weigh in for the spring quarter of Kitsap's Biggest Loser. Let's see if it's an incentive to do well!

It's been kind of a lazy day today. We had dinner at a weird time, so basically only one meal for lunch/dinner. Snacking on fruits and veggies since then.
The boys, Amanda, and I dyed a couple dozen eggs. They are drying, then we will put smiley faces and glitter on them. I'll try to remember to take some pictures.
We're going to Scott & Amanda's tomorrow for Easter. We're having tostado salads :-) for dinner. Yummy. I'm sending the boys Easter eggs home with Scott & Amanda tonight, they'll hide them while we're at church tomorrow. I just don't see pulling an egg hunt off at our house this year.
Jeff & Scott replaced the sensor things in the mini-van's transmission today, and all looks good! Now to put the window thing back on track and replace the stereo with something more updated. I'm hoping for a CD player with a USB plug for my MP3 player. It may not be the most beautiful van on the road, but it will be comfy and reliable...that's what I really want.
I hope you all have a great Easter! He is risen!

I think that lower body workout yesterday must have really worked, my legs were getting tired during the kicks today. I suppose that's a good sign.
We bought ourselves a used mini-van the other day. We ended up talking the guy down more than 40% from his original asking price. Not a bad deal. It has a few cosmetic issues, and a couple mechanical issues that we are all set to take care of. With some of the money we saved I think we're going to put a CD player/usb connect stereo in it so the kids and I will be able to listen to what we want.
We had intended to buy a different mini-van, one that had built in child seats, but somebody beat us to it. On the way home from buying this one, Tyler was sitting in the back and he discovered that it does indeed have child seats built in. Yay! No need to run out and buy a car seat. The Dodge Stratus I've been driving since Tommy turned 2 has a built in seat and we haven't used a car seat since.
We cancelled the cable yesterday, and now just have broadcast stations, DVDs, and Netflix. I have managed to get myself hooked on Lost now. I had never seen an episode before this week, but Netflix has the series available by season. I started with the pilot, Season 1, Episode 1. Through season 5 is available instantly, so that should keep me occupied with as much as I watch TV.
So what did we do after cancelling the cable? Went out and bought a brand new HDTV of course! It's great, and now we don't need a digital converter box. I just plugged a digital antenna in and it was good to go. I want to get a wireless PC to TV converter so we can use the television as a computer monitor if we so desire (for those couple shows that Netflix doesn't offer but we can watch online). I can already think of a couple good ways I could use that for homeschooling.
The spring quarter of our Kitsap Biggest Loser starts again on Monday. Maybe I'll do better this time around. Wish me luck!

Workout: not sure it matters
Wii Fit Age: 57
Ugh! This is not a good day. I started to do my workout this morning, but just don't have the energy to finish. Maybe I've finally hit my wall....not showing any progress, not seeing anybody else post workouts, not being able to reach my friend to talk. I give up! Maybe tomorrow will be better.
