Week Uno Por Mi!!

That's right! I have been working out for a whole week. I, like so many others in the world, am trying my best to be in better shape than I am currently. For Christmas my father-in-law bought me a Wii, my mom & step-dad bought me the Wii fit Plus, and my husband bought me the Biggest Loser for the Wii. If I hadn't had told them that I wanted those things I may have gotten a complex from it all. :)

Anyway, I started working out last Sunday, incorporating the Wii Fit, Biggest Loser, and Turbo Jam. I absolutely love the combination! The Biggest Loser is great because they give you a schedule of workouts to follow but it is not so strict that you HAVE to do everything on that program. The Wii Fit is fun because . . . it is just fun! I like playing the games and trying to reach the calorie goal for the day. And I absolutely love Turbo Jam because I get drenched and have fun in the process - and can I say EXTREMELY tired!

Well, for all that work I have lost 3 whole pounds which may not sound like a whole lot to the megaverse out there but for me that is so awesome! I am on my way to losing 30+ lbs! My favorite part is all the energy that I have now just from working out. I know this from experience and have had so many people tell me, too, but I am definitely enjoying it now.

Just as an update, Karl and I have been working on the house since my mom showed up at our house for Christmas - she helped me get through a lot of boxes and things and helped us get a storage room to store a bunch of it. Really, she just got us started on a bunch of projects and basically made us do some things that we had been putting off because we didn't want to jump into it. Thanks mom! The house is really coming together.

Well, school started back up for me last Tuesday and it has been absolutely great! I missed my kids like crazy and they are so eager to work for me. It is such a great thing to see that. My grad work starts again in a week from Tuesday and I am very excited to start it up again since I am half way done!!!! I will be finished, if all goes as planned, in December. I am very eager to be done, that is for sure!

Anyway, keep me in your prayers as I work toward my super sexy, slim body! Adios y'all!!!

If this happens one more time . . .

Anyone know a good cell phone service provider? This is the second time that we worked with someone at AT&T and I am about ready to switch providers. We went in there today to get my phone moved to Karl's plan, which we had to get a form filled out by my mom (well, kinda :), it helps when I can sign like mom; it's not like I didn't have her permission) in order to do so. We walked in and talked to this guy, gave him the form, and we thought that he understodd what we needed to be done and he just started going. We got to the point where I would pick out a phone and he started getting stuff ready and I re-asked him, after he wanted to know what number I wanted to use for it, if my phone was now on Karl's plan and he just went crazy on us. Basically he said that we never told him that that is what we wanted. He was very rude, basically saying that it was our fault that he did all this work for nothing. It was very disheartening and I really wanted to tell him to forge...

New Journey . . . Diamond Club

What does it take to make a diamond? Any ideas? According to Wikipedia, you know the source for all things, a diamond is "formed at high temperature[s] and pressure". Karl and I are excited to announce that we will be taking part in journey. A journey that will, hopefully, push us to Diamond. It will take a lot of work but we are excited for this opportunity for our team. What is Diamond Club? Why is this so exciting? Maybe this video will explain it better. Diamond Club creates a great opportunity for EVERYONE! It allows Karl and I to travel to areas that want to grow and also allows for new members to receive additional products with their enrollment and subsequent LRP orders. Free stuff??? Yes, please!!! It really is a great opportunity for everyone on our team. We are looking forward to the immense growth that will happen because of this wonderful opportunity. So you may be asking, how do I get involved? What does this look like exactly? Basically we...

Writer's Corner Number 8

Typed from written Journal Entry: I thought I’d change it up a bit and try writing in journal form tonight. I am also curious to see the difference in length of writing for both writing formats. Dr. Semingson suggested incorporating pictures into our journal writings/posts. I don’t have any pics from growing up – they are all at my dad’s house in Michigan – but I can start adding new pics from Alaska, especially when it comes time to talk about our honeymoon adventures there. Today I want to start by talking about earthquakes. I want to preface this “talk” with a story from when I moved to Texas. Not long into the start of my 7th grade year we practice emergency drills. I remember one of my teachers talking about what to do in case of an emergency: crouch down with your head near a wall and cover your head. I remember thinking that getting near a wall wouldn’t be the safest thing in the world but I didn’t argue – I didn’t know what that emergency drill was for. Now that I’m olde...
