Hump Day....

Wednesday, October 12, 2011

Good Hump Day Sparkfam! Its a gorgeous day here in Chicago & I am praying that we will have a few more of these type days before the "treacherous" winter that is ahead of us. Last year I couldn't wait til at least the snow melted & it didn't until the middle of March. I am praying for a spread out of snow dumping in the midwest.

I woke up this morning so sleepy but I know I needed to get up & do something. So I started with Joyce Meyers & then did a 45min workout with Gilad. I was energized but then the family wanted breakfast so it was oatmeal & pancakes w/bacon & sausage. So since I couldn't make up my mind I half a pancake & slice of bacon & a 4th cup of a oatmeal. That breakfast extravaganza was at 6:30am so you know at 11am I was starving like marvin!! lol So a pb&j on honey wheat bread milk & yogurt. Had to go to Target to pick up some fleas stuff for Shadow cause he is making me itch. I did spray my hand & rub him all over Sunday & he found some relief but then I need to hit the carpeted areas too. I also picked up some bananas & an individual salad which was actually $1.49 not bad at all. Dinner will be grilled chicken thigh with yellow corn & I had 2 nutter butter cookies & half cup of coffee. Going pretty strong right about now.

Tonight I hope to pick up with 30mins of abs & 30mins of step aerobics or kickboxing or maybe a mix to keep me interested while I watch old reruns of One Tree Hill. I know I'm too old but oh well. I like that show.

So I pray you guys are doing well & that you at least walk for 30mins today.

God bless & walk your body!!

Dee

Dee that used to be my show. Until my favs left. And I'm older than you. lol I don't care I love that show. Does that come on the Soap channel? I used to watch the old shows online. I'm still laughing because I used to feel guilty watching One Tree Hill. What happened to Peyton and the Blonde star. I used to know his name by heart. smh Oh well. What does this have to do with Hump Day? lol Oh...you mentioned it and this is YOUR blog. Love it Dee. Television is one of my week spots with certain shows. Like Monk. I love that show. I laugh out loud and sometimes mute it when he does some crazy stuff. Mute & close my eyes. Ok let me stop before you think I'm crazy lol! Thanks for reading my blog. It was just some thoughts. I hate when I wait so long to post one. My mind has been working on so many different things. But I need to post more blogs for myself. Thanks so much for sharing. I love to laugh. You are a hard working woman. Enjoy the rest of this week! Love Ya Deb Report Inappropriate Comment

Enjoying Everyday....

Good Sunday Sparkfam! Its an beautiful Sunday here in Chicago & Its a blessing to be in the land of the living. I am not feeling well but I still am filled with joy!

So since its been a long weekend filled with my son coming home from school this weekend, my hubby grilled, then I attended a wonderful funeral of my SIL's sister's husband. The homegoing ceremony was filled with tears & laughter, how can that be? He was a soul that brought joy into the lives of all he touched. He spoke on how he used to be & how he was transformed one day after coming into contact with Jesus. Oh how wonderous it was but even though it took all strength I had I went to the service. Then my husband and a group of men for Christ had a meeting at my office from 5-8pm, I was about to scream!!! I am glad that I could help them find a place to meet but at the same time, I just wanted to lie down. But then I remembered my day & all the joy I had felt & continued on enjoying every moment of everyday. Even when I don't feel a 100%.

So what are you doing to enjoy this day?!

God bless & enjoy everyday!

Dee

Hello sis! Hope you are feeling better today! Sunday was another great day and I started with the Lord & Finished with the Lord! Driving to Service in POURING Down Rain was a Challenge to fear but I didn't. I listened to the Holy Spirit and Changed my route and made it there & back without incidence. lol God is so Good Dee. He Helps In Everything. Your Brothernlaws Homegoing services sounds amazing. God is able to Give us ALL the comfort we need in times like these through the Comforter. Love You Much & Always Pray for You! Happy Monday! Deb Report Inappropriate Comment

Sounding like you had a time with the Lord. I love it when a funeral has Christ spirit abiding. That kinda sounds like my aunts funeral. Shoot that was not a funeral that was a holy ghost party. Folks were shouting all over the place. Now that is the kind of party I love! Report Inappropriate Comment

When Do You Know?

Wednesday, September 28, 2011

Good Hump Day Sparkfam! Its a gloomy & rainy day here in Chicago but you know what? Its still a blessed day! I've seen 2 rainbows this week & that's a promise from God that it won't be water but fire next time. I love this Spark motivational message!

You can sleep while you are dead! Life is for the living & if you believe this then go spend time with your family, friends or a co-worker who maybe in need of your support. Or you can get up & spend some time doing a good workout by walking, running, doing a class at the gym or a DVD at home. Life is for the living, so just do it!!

Did 30mins of endurance training this morning & wanted to do more but my day was calling me. Ate oatmeal, slice of toast, orange juice & milk for breakfast. Lunch pb&j on honey wheat w/milk with orange for lunch. For a snack had swedish fish & apple oh & a few rolos. lol Hey, I didn't say I was perfect. For dinner its baked chicken, broccoli & wild rice. I want to have a slice of bread with dinner but had enough starch already. Will focus on doing 30-50mins of cardio tonight. Too many treats & not enough tricks this week.

God bless you & take no offense to this blog! lol

Dee

Hump Day

Wednesday, September 21, 2011

Good Day Sparkfam! Its Wednesday & these are the best days of the week, Weds, Thurs & Fri. To me the weekend flashes by so fast with errands, shopping & cleaning & trying to find rest & church Sunday & time with family. So this is like the cruise control day of the week for me. I am bouncy today or fidgety tonight will be upper body & kickboxing while I get up every so often & walk my body. I only get once & I try to take care of it but I know that I fall short or else *I would be at goal right now.

Today, was a big breakfast of grits, scrambled eggs (tsp for me) slice of bacon, sausage & toast w/butter & jelly. I got to work, someone brought donuts & I had one, then I had my apple, then we got a small snack size of jelly beans & I ate that. I brought chili for lunch with crackers but the sodium will put me over my 2300mgs. So I opted out of the chili after being snack happy & am eating a beautiful salad with red onions, tomatoes & cucumbers & a pepperchino. I think I spelled it right but its delicious & I was good & bypassed the pizza. Although I did have some of the chicken off the cesar salad. Tonight & baked chicken w/broccoli. Exercise to follow after I digest & am ready to jam!

What have you turned down lately to choose to your health?


God bless & dance like nobody is watching.....

Today I turned the snickers topped brownies and the rice krispie treats at work. Yesterday it was the super-chocolaty almond joy cake, again at work. Oh, and someone brought a coffee cake from Panera. Ugh! Not being able to quantify how much is in that stuff, how much one serving is, etc. is motivating me to not have it. I'd rather allow myself half of a twinkie if I really craved because at least I can count the calories, fat, etc. I have also avoided Starbuck's, whose frappaccino's I love.
