Faith Fitness and Laughter

Hey guys!!  How has your Tuesday been??   Mine has just flown by!  I had to work today, but only until noon.  Ahh, I love half days.     I must say though, 4:15 was a very long time ago.  This is my routine….  I get up, drink my super juice of distilled water and apple cider vinegar, chase it with 12 ounces of water, then I feed the cats, make myself a cup of coffee, have some quiet time and then catch an episode of MidSomer Murders.  Yes, I am still addicted.  While watching MM’s, I catch up on some blog reading too…   I have been saving my workouts for the evening because I am still doing different types of at-home Crossfit and Tabata workouts.  I have also been running.  Not much, but incorporating it in there.  Tonight?  Three miles.

While I was near a Whole Foods today, I ran by there to pick up Kevin a Valentines Day gift…      He’s pretty special. 

 

 

Dinner:

 

My favorite meal……ever. 

 

 

I have also been baking this banana bread like crazy!!   I followed this recipe….   So good!

 

 

 

So Kevin and I were talking about childhood books last night and one of my favorite books growing up was Puff the Magic Dragon.  It’s actually based off of the song, but I knew that I still had that book around here somewhere.  So I went digging. 

 

Remember this???

 

 

That Strawberry Shortcake book has a record in it!    The book in the middle was my first experience reading a book where someone dies.  I remember feeling so sad after reading that book… it’s still a great story. 

 

And finally, The Velveteen Rabbit.  Oh my goodness, I loved this book. 

 

 

I read the coolest thing the other day while doing my devotional and I wanted to share it with you:

 

Worries carry responsibilities that belong to God, not to you.  Worry does not enable us to escape evil; it makes us unfit to cope with it when it comes. 

 

I have been working on several things this past month.  Some have to do with diet and exercise and others have to do with spiritual and well-being.  I wanted to share some of the things that I have been working on:

 

• No processed sugar.  I have cut out any sugary candy, chocolate or cookies.
• daily devotional
• more water.  Some days this comes very easy to me, but other days I could just down a big coke.  I have only had water for a solid month now.
• Three 8 oz glasses of distilled water with apple cider vinegar a day.
• less stressing over my workouts.  I have found that if I don’t stress over missing a workout or worrying about what I am going to do for the day, the workouts come. 

 

It’s not a whole lot, but has made a huge difference in my life.  I have dropped five pounds and feel really good!  Meeting Kevin has just been the cherry on top.    Did I tell you he is a Crossfiter?? 

 

 

Later guys!!  Have a great night!!
