Good day today…busy, I think I might just be able to sleep all night I’m so tired J  Started the day with a workout that made me feel sick to my stomach.  The humidity was horrible!  After that I headed home and cleaned up the house with lots of help from my boys.  Nick had some friends over; we hung out, ate dinner, relaxed and watched a cute movie.  Got to love a simple, fun day!

My day was made when I dressed this morning and realized that my pants were getting baggy on (again).  I was so excited!  It’s such a wonderful feeling.  PROGRESS is so encouraging for me.  I’m looking forward to running tomorrow; I was hoping to get some in today but by the time I had a chance to the rain was coming down hard. So, I have lots of catch up work to do.

Thanks to so many of you who have been concerned about my lack of sleep.  There has been an outpouring of love and sleep aids J  I have 4 different ones right now.  I feel like the neighbor who just moved in and everyone is dropping off “welcome to the neighborhood” desserts except my dessert is in the form of medication haha.  I have truly been blessed with some awesome pill pushers in my life J

I was also encouraged by a friend today to go get an MRI on my knee; others have encouraged me to do the same for my shoulder.  This getting old thing sucks!  I’m not so sure I’m ready for an MRI, for now I’ll just deal with the cute little clicking noise in my knee and the sudden sharp pain and spasm  that goes with it in my shoulder…I’m having way to much fun to deal with any issues that would interfere with my workouts right now.

Keeping lots of people in my prayers this week.  One being my trainer and the group he is traveling with through this next week; I’m amazed at what’s happening in his life right now.  He’s a great person who has poured himself into so many people through nutrition and fitness training.  Now he’s embarking on a whole new adventure that has taken off so quickly.  He’s in Honduras on a last minute mission trip filming for a non-profit organization.  It’s amazing to see how visible God’s work is when you have someone in your life that completely opens his heart up to Him and accepts and executes Gods plan. Watching this happen has strengthened my faith so much; this is all such a blessing.  I’m praying for his safety and that he has a wonderful trip.  Please keep him and his group in your prayers this week.
