Not me. April Fools!! Ha Ha I know it's lame but it's fun all the same. I have to say there weren't any pranks this year. Thank God, I just don't want to deal with them. But there were a lot of blessings to spread around. All I can say is I have a wonderful family and I am so happy to have them here with me. God is good!!
I don't know if I mentioned this but I joined a Biggest Loser competition at Anytime Fitness. It is going until May 10th. First place is $300, 2nd is $200 and 3rd is $100. I want the top prize baby. But in order for that to happen I have to get rid of this sinus thing that is making me have fluid build up in my ear. I feel totally out of whack and it hurts like hell.
So the competition started on the 10th of March. And since then I have lost 4.4 pounds and 5 inches. I keep kicking myself because it would have been more but Monday I binged like a fat kid at an all you can eat buffet. I just couldn't stop. And the thing is it wasn't even good food. There was a lot of bread and peanut butter. Not always together. But after my little meltdown I got back to the gym and busted it harder. Thing is I am not doing awesome. Because of this sinus/ear thing I have had a few days where I don't work out and let me tell you I feel horrible about it! I feel like I am cheating! But when I start to get dizzy and ready to fall over well that means that I need to stop. SO I did.If I am not feeling better tomorrow, Monday, than I am going to call the Dr. and see if I can get in. I hate Dr. offices :( They make me a sad panda.
I found out what a plank is, besides the things that they said pirates had to walk. I thought oh this can't be that hard. MY ASS!!!! Or I should say my abs. A minute never seems to long unless you are waiting for a baby to be born, a commercial to be over or to finish a one minute plank. My abs scream, my body shakes, my arms are gelatinous blobs of goo. But I make it, Not once but twice and one day I did it three times. I feel like Kate Winslet in Titanic, I am the Queen of the world. Until Hank makes us do something else. Have I mentioned I love Hank? I don't think I could do this without him.
I am using free weights, the thought of those before scared me. I didn't want to go into the are where the big bad body builders were. The place was like a china shop and I was the bull. But now I know how to use things over there. I can load my own weights. I know how to properly position myself. I may not know the names but I am pretty sure I know the purpose and knowing is half the battle.
I feel like a Loser and I am so OK with that.
So as I said before we have completed Cancun. I am talking to my mom and sisters and we are figuring out a day to do our fiesta. All participants are welcome to come and join us. On the 16th I will be starting our trip to Ireland. We will be walking 1,226 miles to Bangor, Maine. From there we will be hoping a plane to Ireland and that will take us 2802 miles over the beautiful blue ocean. Yes for this walk we are adding swimming to the mix. I will figure out the details as we come closer to summer, but we are all pretty water orientated and I think a little splash would add, well, a splash!
So I think it is bed time. So lets say a little prayer.
Dear God, Thank You for today. Thank You for loving me and watching over me. I am so blessed to be Your child. Thank You for the ultimate gift of Your son. Thank You for my Uncle Marlin. He is a miracle. Thank You for my Grandma Kelly. I am so glad she was here to celebrate such a wonderful day with us. Thank You for my cousin Chris. I am so glad to see him here. There are mountains we all must climb, but with God we can climb them all and find our way home. Thank You for all the little blessings that have been coming into my life. In Your name we pray. Amen
