Blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and confidence. They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees are not bothered by the heat or bothered by long months of drought. Their leaves stay green, and they never stop producing fruit. Jeremiah 17:7-8

P90X, Week 12, Days 6 & 7


I wrote a really long blog earlier, but to my dismay, the computer cut itself off and I lost my entire entry. It does that sometimes :( Days 6 and 7 of Week 12 did happen, I just have been super busy and unable to blog about it. Day 7 was Rest and Stretch, so I opted for "Rest", but with this being dance recital weekend, I ran around like a chicken with my head cut off... not to mention everything else that has been going on lately, such as having a plumber come out for a major leak, having a new security system put into our house, and cleaning the whole house for my parents to come into town. The recital involved a long dress rehearsal Thurs night and 2 nights of back to back recitals. My daughter was in 5 numbers this year, and I was responsible for her 5 costumes, plus 5 more costumes for my best friend's daughter. My best friend was out of town on a business trip, so I offered to help out, not knowing what I was getting myself into... 2 girls, 10 costumes, five back to back dance numbers.... oh my. I am tired. I lost 3 pounds in 3 days due to all of the running around I had to do.

Week 13 should have started yesterday, but I am going to be getting a late start. I will hopefully get back on track tomorrow. I've lost 37 lbs since January 1, which is really hard for me to wrap my head around. I never knew I could lose that much weight, or that I needed to... I only have 6 more lbs to be at my goal weight. If I reach my goal weight, I'll re-evaluate my situation and see if I need to set a new goal. There are still some areas that I would like to work on.

Happy Mother's Day. Mine was very nice, with the recital and then church today with my mother. Both of my children sang today in church. Then my Mom took me out shopping for a new coffee pot--- mine has been broken for some time--- much to my surprise, she bought me a Keurig, which was pretty expensive. I've been wanting one for some time now, but never expected anyone to buy me one, especially not my mom, and especially not on Mother's Day! She also bought me a new clock for my kitchen and an oregano plant. I gave her a really cool, decorative hummingbird feeder. Hummingbirds are her favorite. I also got her some little Yankee candles. It was so nice just to see her and spend time with her on Mother's Day.  I feel very blessed to both have and be a mother. I couldn't ask for a better mom or for better children. I thank God for them every day.
