The Afghan 20!

Monday, April 15, 2013

The Afghanistan adventure has finally come full circle and I feel like myself again!!! What a road my family traveled in the last year and I am so thankful that we are on this side of it. I would never have guessed in a million years how hard it would be and yet what an incredible adventure. It has been a year of learning and leaning on each other and a year of marveling at the power of my family.

We supported each other, we cried together, we cheered together, we held hands and hearts together and we stood together when we were finally united. The adventure brought a power and closeness to my family that has made us rock solid and I can honestly say that we will never be the same again because of it.

So now: my heart and mind are free and happy and I can concentrate on me. Rounding up the wagons and heading down the trail to the me that is happy and healthy and I can feel the old me just waiting to break out and carry on down the road.

Cheers!

By the grace of our Father in Heaven...........

that I am losing weight. It is in his strength that I find mine. It is by his strength, that I have borrowed, that I am moving forward . I know doesn't sound like the Lisa you know but I have this little piece hidden deep in my soul and felt that it was time to acknowledge where my strength comes from on a day to day basis. I don't show this very often and just wanted everyone to know. Just saying. emoticon

    I, like you tend not to shout faith, religion or anything controversial on line. Acknowledging your strength and where you find it takes courage. May you ever have the strength and courage you need in life.

    I don't know you, but this warms my heart. (Stumbled across this from my friend feed)
My verse for 2012 is Zechariah 4:6b: "'Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the LORD Almighty." Not by MY might nor by MY power, but by HIS Spirit.
I know that's the only way I can do this. It's not working on my own, y'know?
Prayin' for ya!

Just Bring It Week 5 Strong End Goals!

Thursday, May 24, 2012

Are we really starting week 5? Time really flies when you are having fun.

I have been wallowing in a mud pit somewhere and have just crawled out and am covered with the mud of saying good by to my Son!

The good news is that I am out and I am ready to get back into the fight.

I think a watermelon is called for here so will be strutting right down to the market and finding one. I just may eat the whole honking thing!

BBQ coming on for the holiday week end and I want a dog! Gotta find me a dog that I can count and still have fun with. Any suggestions?

I am going to be soaking up lots of sun and may just do that with a book in hand but only after I have found my way to a little walking the streets of Bountiful and may just find my way up one of the canyons for a little extra cardio here.

Not forgetting to track all of my grazing and eating and neither should you. No whining here just get the job done. Gotta see some weight loss come next Wednesday!

    ....okay, I've gotta say, "for the love of mud?...." in reference to the mud pit you crawled out of... and for luinch today, I ate 2 whole cups of delish emoticon me-self.
So you must out-do me & eat the whole honking thing!

did I mention.... ? emoticon on your tracking!!! Cuz your mindset Rocks!
More cardio and grazing go together like Merlot & aged cheese.

Go get em tiger! !~ Laura
