The view

Who wouldn't want to get up and see this every morning??

That's just ONE of the reasons I am up and out the door by 5:30.

Regardless of how tired I am I

DON"T. GIVE. UP.

I am now running almost 3 miles, but going 6. I am walking/running the whole way;

Alternating at the points where

I need to get that really deep

breath in.

6 weeks ago, I couldn't run 1 ful block without having to stop.

Thank you for your support and encouragement!!

I might make it to that 1/2 marathon in September afterall.

Don't. Give. Up.

To Whom It May Concern.... (you know who you are)

I know you took your commenting ability off...

and for good reason, I will give you that.

But....

How else am I going to share with you that I, too, made BLTs this weekend?

And who doesn't just LOVE the Food Network's easy access

To some REALLY great food???

The waiting game is the hardest, I am finding out.

Expect the worst, but pray for the best??

Makes you enjoy the time, regardless the mood either are in.

The boys leave for Colorado on Thursday....

I've been asked WHAT on EARTH am I going TO do WITH myself??

I suppose I will be lonely, however we all have webcams

I'm sure alot of SKYPING will be done.

The day is gloomy; a fitting mood.

Be WELL. Know that I am thinking of you. Be BLESSED; for you are loved.

Remember....

Don't. Give. Up.

he LOVES me.... he LOVES me knot

Recently my husband ran out of body wash, which I normally purchase for him,

but on a trip to the market Sunday morning

he purchased his own; a new kind, and one that he normally uses.

The first time I took a "whiff" of the new kind

I knew that I would not like it as well as I did the old... maybe I'm stuck

in my "old" ways??....

James asked how I liked the new scent, and I was pretty frank with him...

it WAS NOT him!

At least it was not the aroma I was used to.

Last night after my run, to which I came home and found he had already showered, I started the shower

and stepped inside, and inhaled deeply....

You know... like when you are smooching your love and your souls are connecting....

I grinned ear to ear.

he LOVES me!!

I love this man with all of my heart. It's little things like this that make our love grow.

Have a Blessed Day!!

Don't. Give. Up.

Update

Yesterday my husband put the bikes together, from when the movers had taken them apart.

Yes... It's been a month. ;o)

I also set out to start two-a-days, not including the little bike ride we went on together.

So Much Fun!! And who knew how sore my WOOHAA would be today from the seat???

This morning I must have needed that extra sleep because I hit snooze twice

Then turned the alarm off.... all together.

But who wouldn't want to get up

to this view???

Apparently, it was ME!!

( Maybe after I take R2 into the car doctor

I will catch up on the workout

that I missed

this

am)

I have to remember that giving up is not an option!!

So Do You!!

Don't. Give. Up.

My family

I love him for so many reasons... but most of all it's because he can make me laugh when I want to cry.

And those boys.... Well, they are heaven sent!!

We all should be grateful for the land we live in, and the men and women who

served and continue to serve our country.

He makes me proud to be his mother.

His smile melts my heart.

And those arms... nothing beats being all wrapped up in them.

I am blessed to have this family of mine.... I hope you are blessed with yours!

Week Three

This is WEEK 3 for me.

It seems so hard to keep up the motivation.

I watched week 17 of the Biggest Loser... and THAT, my friends,

Is MOTIVATION!!!

Giving up is NOT an option!!

My weight has remained the same, and I won't remeasure until the begining of week 5.

Pledge to Get Healthy... and

Don't. Give. Up.
