Becoming Healthy

I don't know about you but one of my challenges this summer was to get into a healthy lifestyle. In the past I never really worked out other than the occasional work-out DVD or to walk on the treadmill or jump on a stationary bike for a few weeks but I would quite because I did not keep up that habit and I never went back. This summer I am doing my best to walk for one hour a day. I love to listen to Adventures in Odyssey and each CD is roughly 60 minutes. So, I make myself walk the entire time I am listening to the three episodes on the CD.


This is only part of the battle against having a lazy, unhealthy summer. The other part is to actively watch what I eat. I have two apps on my phone which I log every thing I eat. One is MyFitnessPal and the other is LoseIt!


For this summer, I would love to have additional accountability to keep up with choosing the right meals and snacks. If all of you could check-up with me and make sure that I am not giving up this lifestyle change.

Summer!!

This past week was finals week at school. I ended up catching a cold at the beginning of the week but that did not stop me from studying and finishing up the week strong. This morning I also woke up with a crick in my neck. My weekend just got better. This summer is going to be filled with work, VBS, and reading.


My list of books at least 28 books; all of which I have never read before. Yes, this is a shock that I am not reading the same old list of books that I have read for years.


Vacation Bible School is Island themed this year. For once this year I am sticking with what has worked: I am doing the opening and closing again.


For work this summer I am working in the same place I worked last summer. I have held this position all through the school year, but I am picking up more hours this summer just to make a little more money for next year. I will be working five more hours than I was last summer, maybe more.


I am going to make a challenge to blog as much as I can this summer. I want to keep all of you up-to-date with what is going on. If there is anything you want to know about, just comment on this, or any of the post to follow this one.

Blast from the Past

I remember this bio exam. I was extremely excited to find out that I had earned that grade. This was a little over a year ago but it seems to have taken place eons ago. To think that semester was the last semester I had all general education courses. Now I am in my third semester of upper-level classes required for my major.




Original Post From October 19, 2012:
"I went to school Monday thru Wednesday the week following the musical. I attended Crossroads, my church’s college bible study, on Wednesday night and we had a night full of games and laughs. Thursday and Friday we did not have class because we had Fall Break. Thursday thru Sunday night I spent a majority of the time studying for a biology exam Monday the 15th. I earned a 91% on that exam. I say earned because I worked my butt off. The rest of this week I have spent recovering from my “lack of sleep” over the weekend."

Rehashing

I remember going to see Les Mis live. I only wish I could have seen a professional troupe.


When I went to see the movie, I fell head-over-heels for the music and story line all over again.

Last night was fantastic!!!!!!!!!!
I have loved the music of Les Mis ever since I started listening to the music and started watching the 25th anniversary performance.
We watched the performance in Springfield. For the small size of the theater and the fact that in Springfield does not have many professional musicians, therefore most, if not every, actor is a volunteer, they did an amazing job.
We were able to set right up front. In the second and third rows on the far left. Therefore we were able to see everything very well.
I cannot wait until the movie comes out this winter. As I stated earlier, I have watched the 25th anniversary performance and each time I have watched it, as well as seeing the performance last night, my desire to watch it has increased every time.
Well, for now I am out of topics to blog about.
