My Fitbit

"There's more to come:  We continue to shout our praise even when we're hemmed in with troubles, because we know how troubles can develop passionate patience in us, and how that patience in turn forges the tempered steel of virtue, keeping us alert for whatever God will do next.  In alert expectancy such as this, we're never left feeling shortchanged.  Quite the contrary--we can't round up enough containers to hold everything God generously pours into our lives through the Holy Spirit!"  ~Romans 5: 3-5 (MSG)

Our workout group at school, better known as "the Forest", has survived eight days of Jillian Michael's 30-Day Shred.  It really is pretty amazing how quickly the body can gain strength.  We were a pretty pitiful, oxygen gasping group the first couple of days.  By this past Tuesday almost all of us could do all of Level One without stopping.  (I will interject here that I can still not do push-ups--not even the modified version of them.  I have decided to just do them against the wall.)  A few of the ladies have even decided to do "the pacer challenge" that our PE teachers do with the kids.  If you walk/run over 3,000 laps by the end of the year, you get your footprint painted on the gym wall.  Coach Shell shared the info with me so that I could share it with the group.  There are four of us that have decided to see if we can reach "fame status" by the end of the year.  I think I have 50 laps so far.  Haha. 

One of the ladies in our group that has become a good friend of mine, Jen, told me about the app "fitbit" and the fitbit wristband.  I decided to order one and started wearing it last night.  It syncs all your exercise/caloric intake/sleep information to your phone app.  Jen is supposed to give me a crash course on how to use this little workout/fitness gadget.  I also decided to order the fitbit weight scale that will sync to my app.  Maybe this time I can make working out and eating healthy a lifestyle change instead of a short obsession.  HA!

 

This is the Fitbit flex band.  At this moment, I have one light that has been lit.  Probably means to get up and start moving.  Haha.  Actually, I think it means that I've reached some goal.  About the only thing I understand about this gadget is how to wear it.  HA!  (I won't even share how long it took me to get the thing on my wrist.  It was me not the difficulty of the actual band.  I have a learning disability when it comes to new gadgets.)

 

This yummy meal for St Paddy's Day was only eight points according to my Weight Watcher's calculator.  Needless to say that I'll be preparing this one a lot.

 

 

The Clucks "cleaned" up their Legos by lining all their Lego constructions in the hall.  Not exactly my idea of "cleaning up your Legos" but at least they were neat.  I snapped this shot of the Roosters with their masterpieces.  The look on John Ryan's face is priceless to me. 

 

 

Last night was our last night of the "Stronger" Bible study at Shandon.  I snapped a shot of part of the class before it got started.  I have truly enjoyed the women's Bible studies I have taken at Shandon.

 

I love this place!! 

 

 

I also love these two chicks.  This is Lisa and her newest little cluck Ellis.  So excited to be able to watch a little chicken grow up.
