Hello?
Believe it or not, I'm still alive and kickin' here on planet earth (yeah, yeah...those who know me best assumed I was from Mars). I took a break. I rather long one, I know. But I'm going to try much harder to write something at least a couple times a week. Let the rejoicing begin!!!!
There really is no excuse for not posting...I just didn't want to. I didn't feel like pouring my heart out and couldn't think of anything useful to say. That, all combined with severe S.A.D. kept me unmotivated and rather quiet (at least in the blogging world).
I have continued on my quest for healthier living and loosing weight. I am down 18 pounds so far. I was hoping to be further along, but there are still changes to be made. My greatest achievement thus far is the end of purchasing soda to keep at home. Now, I know what you are thinking. "What? This can't be!! Has hell actually frozen over? Was that a pig that just flew by my window?" No, I honestly did stop buying it for use at home. This does not mean that I don't have it when we go out to eat somewhere, but I have been able to cut back on soda consumption by about 90%. This is a major deal! I'm not without my caffeine, though...I am now hopelessly re-addicted to my old southern friend--iced tea. :-) What can I say? I'm a G.R.I.T.S. at heart.
My latest must have item is the Praise Moves DVD. This is an exercise video which gives Christians an alternative to yoga. For more on yoga and what it is actually doing to you spiritually and how Praise Moves can help please visit the Praise Moves page and read more about it. I did Namaste Yoga one time and was rather pleased with it. I told the Mr. I was going to blog about it and he suggested that I research it some before I post on it. I thought this was a good suggestion (as are most of his ideas) so I set about learning what I could about yoga...specifically, Namaste Yoga. I was mortified and immediately made the decision to not write about it yet, but to look for an alternative. I love it, and the instructor, Laurette Willis, knows what she is talking about and is a strong Christian instructor. I'm glad I found her page. I have slept better since.
That's it for now. I know it's not riveting, but it will have to do for now.

I have been wondering about how things were going for you. Glad you posted!
whew! It's been a long time! Welcome back! :) I told Shane I had S.A.D....he laughed and said, "yea, you have a disorder all right!" He thought that was the funniest thing ever! :)
Thanks for hanging out with me the past couple a days and putting up with my grumpiness. It's been nice getting out! Pray for a revival in my heart! :)
