Just in case I’m MIA next week, I wanted to let you know what’s going on around here. One of my closest friends will bury her husband on Friday afternoon. I will be unable to attend, but will be taking the time to observe in my own way, which will most likely not be on Twitter. Around the same time my husband will return home. If you are out of the loop, he’s been working in Iowa for the past 6 months, and has chosen to come home and stay home for a while. My friend’s loss just really sealed this up for the both of us. I’m praying that he will find a job locally soon.
On a brighter note Sunday will be our first wedding anniversary. My husband, the kids and I will be getting all dolled up like we did last year, plus some, and head back to the lake for wedding pictures. Um yeah…its taken us a year to get back to finish our pictures since my wedding was very rushed and pictures were not finished that day because my husband was involved in a car fire the night before. Every girl wants to get dressed in her wedding gown again, and I can!!
The cool part of this, is that just yesterday I tried my gown on, and guess what?!!! It looks better this year than last! I look better! Of course the stress of being in the ER with my husband and trying to sleep a few hours with him writhing in pain didn’t have me looking all that great. Not to mention that I was an hour late, and a LOT of other things just went terribly wrong. But this year, we will have great pictures done! I can’t wait on that part. My dress is actually a couple inches too long, just from loosing belly fat! I must say its pretty cool!

Question: What time of day works best for you to be active? How do you make sure you stick to those planned workouts?
I have 2 times that are best for me: early morning and somewhere in the 4-6pm area. I love those times of the day better than any other times, and if I miss them its really hard for me to feel up to doing anything. So when I plan something for the morning and I get sidetracked, I try to make it up in the afternoon/evening before it gets too late. For the afternoon days, I try to have leftovers or something going in the crockpot so that I won’t cook some big elaborate meal instead of working out.
