It has been a long time since I’ve sat down and written a poem and today I did. I had no other way of expressing my feelings so I sat down and wrote. My poem is about questioning God and how His time is so different from my time. I have not lost my faith but I am upset and like any child who gets upset with their parent I needed to vent and my outlet was through poetry. The poem goes through my emotions of finding out my news, then questioning why is nothing being done about all of the awful things and blaming Him claiming that He doesn’t care about anything including me and then remembering what He has sacrificed for me but still simply trying to understand. Today I found out that I have PCOS which means it will take Ron and I an even longer time to get pregnant so you can see why I question His timing. I am still not ready to go into detail about all the medical stuff because there is so much we still have to do but I really feel led to put this poem out there, I do hope you enj...

Hi all! Ashley and I were working out today and she observed that our blog focuses mostly on food and recipes.  She thought we should also be putting up our exercise routines as the best way to lose weight and get healthy is to both watch your food intake and get regular exercise. Here is the first of my three workouts - its my upper body workout.  I am not a trainer or certified personal fitness instructor.  This is just merely what I do after having read a lot of books on the subject. It is important to not workout this routine everyday, as your muscles need proper time to recover.  I use this routine twice a week with at least one day in between them, usually two days.  On other days I either do my lower body workout, or have a cardio day - I will post these workouts later. I use a method that incorporates a "push" then "pull" routine, working from the larger muscle groups to the smaller ones.  Apparently the alternating push - pull method incorp...

     Good evening all! I hope you all had a wonderful week. Well, this time last week I was enjoying some Butterbeer at Harry Potter world! Ah, the best drink ever. Too bad it is something that I can’t have every day. Our Universal vacation was awesome to say the least. We really needed it. There was plenty of walking and plenty of eating and it was glorious. I only gained 2.8 pounds on the trip which was mostly bloating because I had so many different foods that I don’t normally have. On the way home I felt as if I’d gained more so I was happily surprised when I looked on the scale Monday. I will step up again Sunday which is our regular weigh in date.       Some of the rides I couldn’t fit in which makes me sad and makes me feel fat but that’s just a goal because we will most definitely be back. Universal has done such a great job and I hope that they continue adding more and making it bigger because it really felt like we were in Diagon Alley a...
