Lundie's Life

Well, I’ve been on a bit of a hiatus for a while now. Tried to do some pruning of my internet time and extracurricular activities. I’m not exactly “back” but realized that my own blog is the place I want to be.

I am going to jump into the Thin Within world with both feet and am joining the Tales From the Scales challenge midstream. They do what I was trying to do with Healthy For the Holidays 2007 – but much, much better!

J5 came down with croup Wednesday night and yesterday we ended up having to take him to the ER to get a steroid treatment. It was a really rough day, but he’s doing better. He slept through the night last night and that makes me greatly relieved. Breathing is not something to mess around with!!

I have tons of pics that I eventually want to put here. I realized that all my journaling would be more pleasantly served with illustration. And it would make for nice memories!

Since I’ve sent out the large majority of my Christmas cards, I guess it’s probably safe to share the photo from it. I’m going to scan one later for memory-keeping, but for now, here’s my happy family:

Being influenced by my friend Beth, I am working on memorizing Romans 5:1-11 (the verses that I quoted a few days ago).  There’s no better way to write it on my heart, than to ingrain it on my brain, right?

Are there any verses that you have found have changed your life when memorized and meditated on?

We’ve been having a discussion on what it means to have a renewing of our mind.  I think this is one good step in the right direction.

Time to allow God to do the New Thing!

Now, if I can just get my rusty gears turning.  This mommy brain of mine is a lot more fuzzy than it used to be!

Welcome to the Healthy for the Holidays 2007 Exercise Challenge!

The guidelines & plans are simple:

1. You want to do something to improve your health
2. You’d like to set a goal for yourself to be measured between now and the upcoming holidays.
3. You want to have fun and share your progress with others who are working right along side you!
4. The Challenge will run from September 10 – December 9 (90-days)
5. I will post any tickers you care to share on the H4H status page
6. Reply to this post in order to join in. I will email you the button code to link to the status page.
7. You can set whatever challenge you want for your self – miles walked, pounds lost, minutes exercised – it’s up to you!
8. (I’ll add extra stuff here as we go – in case questions come up.)

Disclaimer stuff: Always consult a physician prior to doing any new exercise, diet, etc. I’m not responsible for any crazy stuff anyone chooses to do that results in injuries, and the like. Also, I reserve the right to remove anything from my blog that is inappropriate.

(Ok, so I’m a day late, but I’m going to pretend I got this post in on time.)

I am happy at (0/0)! (And technically, since I’m really writing this on Wednesday, the 18th, I’m down another pound.) Woo hoo!!

This past week was a frustrating one, as my weight climbed up three, but came back down, so I’m feeling good even though the net change is 0.

I started a new Bible Study on eating God’s way (The Lord’s Table) – and I attribute my 3 lb loss to God and God alone!! I have faith and hope that this new direction my body is taking will continue as I “put all my eggs in HIS basket”.

Just thought I’d post a status about the Summer 2007 Exercise Challenge.

I’m still doing Leslie Sansone’s In Home Walking on DVD. My exercise plan detail is tracked in a Google Spreadsheet.
