Hard to understand

Well I started the Curves smart on March 4th.  The Curves Smart program is a computer card that you put in each machine and it tracks your progress.  Well on the 4th I burned 674 calories, the 7th I burned 660 calories, the 9th 714 calories, didn't go in on the 11th will tell you why later, the 14th I burned 750 calories and today the 16th I burned 678 calories.  I am also doing well on all the target areas. 
OK, I said I would tell you later why I didn't make it to my workout on the 11th.  The morning of Friday March 11th I received a phone call from my daughter telling me she needed me to come over.  She got home from work that morning to find her husband had passed away in his sleep.  He was only 46 years old.  It hasn't even been a year since my husband passed and now hers.  This is so hard to understand.  How is it that God can take the ones we love?  I know we all will eventually have to go but my goodness I don't know how much more I can take.  I lost my husband and 4 close friends last year and so far this year I have lost my son in-law and a friend that I have known 20 years or more.  I need to go get some sleep tomorrow is the viewing and Celebration of Life and it is going to be a rough day for my daughter.  Goodnight everyone.
May God bless you all.

Spiritual Weekend

Space Needle coming from
 Key Arena after the concert



This has been a wonderful weekend for me.   Last night the Rock and Worship Roadshow was awesome and very spiritual.  The Key Arena was filled with love.  There were bands for all taste in music, from Rap to Heavy Metal and everything in between.  It is amazing how God works through these talented people to spread the word.  I am so blessed to have experienced this twice now.  There are a couple of other concerts coming up that I would like to go see.  Like Chris Thomlin April 16th, at the Overlake Christian Church in Redmond, Newsboys May 14th at the Overlake Christian Church, and then Michael W. Smith and Amy Grant at the Puyallup Fair on September 16th.  I will have to save up some money to go to all of them.  Some of you just have no idea what it does for you spiritual and how much it helps to motivate you to take better care of yourself.  With God on your side you can't lose. 

Church was also very good today.  Worship was awesome as always(my favorite part, love to sing praise).  I also love listening to our Pastor.  He is passionate about the Lord and has a wonderful sense of humor.  An excellent teacher of the word.

Hope you all had an awesome weekend also.  Until next blog, have a great evening everyone

So Excited

Well I have some great news.  I started Curves Smart, where it tracks your progress each time you work out.  My first time was last night and I did so well.  Burned 674 calories and was in the 90% in the pecs, also high in the other muscle groups.   I am also doing the Challenge, this is going to be so fun.  At the end whomever loses the most weight and inches wins.  So excited, I don't care if  I win or lose just pushing myself to the limit trying is going to be the most rewarding.
Yesterday went on a short bike ride to meet a couple of team mates at the batting cages.  The cages were closed so we chatted for a while.  It felt good to ride down to the park.  I need to do more of that.
Oh yeah!  Tonight I'm going to the Rock and Worship Roadshow.  So excited, it is an awesome Christian concert.  I went last year when it was at the Tacoma Dome.  This year it is at the Key Arena.  MercyMe is the band that sponsors it.  The other bands this year include Jars of Clay, Matt Mahr, Thousand Foot Krutch, The Afters, Lecrae, and Anthem Lights.  It is the best feeling to be in a large building so full of love.  I can't wait!
Well have to start getting ready. Got to catch the ferry to Seattle in about 4 hours.  Have a lot to do to get ready and I have to eat breakfast yet.  Will write tomorrow and let you all know how the concert was.
