Start Today

December 30, 2013 Paula1 Comment

It’s two more days until the new year. There is one more week of vacation. But that’s not going to stop me. I’m starting today. I actually started last night, by having a goal to get up, exercise, and read God’s word. I took action. I got my exercise clothes ready, went to bed at… Continue reading Start Today

Just Trying to Survive

September 23, 2013 PaulaLeave a comment

This was my first week joining the Living and Active challenge and it was a tough one. The goals were relatively easy, but life was hard. Right now my husband is working full-time, taking a couple of seminary courses, and trying to be a good dad and husband. I am teaching, momming, wifing, blogging, trying… Continue reading Just Trying to Survive

The Last #15×15 Check-in

September 16, 2013 Paula2 Comments

It is finished! The last day of my challenge was yesterday, now I can let loose. Not really. I didn’t achieve my #15×15 goal, to lose 15 pounds by September 15. I could have tried harder. I could have quit coffee, eaten more salad, and skipped the french silk pie, but I didn’t. Honestly, I’m… Continue reading The Last #15×15 Check-in

#15×15 Check-in: A Lazy Week

September 9, 2013 PaulaLeave a comment

This past week I have just been pretty lazy, on my challenge anyways. I didn’t even try to get my water intake each day, my exercise was down, and eating was under control, but not great. I only have one more week until my #15×15 challenge is over. I have been thinking about what’s next.… Continue reading #15×15 Check-in: A Lazy Week

#15×15 Check-in: 15 Years and it Fits!

September 3, 2013 PaulaLeave a comment

There was one picture I wanted to take last year, because it was evidence of my goal achievements. Then, before I had time to make a blog post of it, I felt the need to take a blogging break and never posted it. Last week was my 15th wedding anniversary, so I thought now was… Continue reading #15×15 Check-in: 15 Years and it Fits!

#15×15 Check-in: Well, This is Embarrassing

August 26, 2013 Paula1 Comment

I’m just going to say it right away and get it over with. I gained 4 pounds this week. (running to hide in a corner) I gained 4 pounds this week! I guess that’s what happens when you stop working toward a goal. I didn’t exercise much because I wasn’t home much and because of… Continue reading #15×15 Check-in: Well, This is Embarrassing

#15×15 Check-in: Step Away From the Roller Coaster

August 17, 2013 PaulaLeave a comment

This week was full of fun… and pain. I have been having some odd foot pain. It hasn’t affected my running but usually starts hurting later in the day. As if foot pain wasn’t enough, I decided to join my kids on one roller coaster ride this week and the next day I was stuck… Continue reading #15×15 Check-in: Step Away From the Roller Coaster

#15×15 Check-in: Finished, but not Done

August 12, 2013 Paula1 Comment

This weekend I finished my 9 week C25k training. I am now able to jog for a full 30 minutes! It actually took me a few extra weeks, with hot weather, sickness, etc., but I did it! I finished, but I’m not done. I can’t just stop now that I’ve completed the training. I need… Continue reading #15×15 Check-in: Finished, but not Done

#15×15 Check-in: Feasting and Fasting

August 7, 2013 PaulaLeave a comment

In the book Bread and Wine there is a section about feasting and fasting. The author shares how we need both. She uses the term fasting loosely, which I follow in this post. (Though I also believe there is a time for fasting, or abstinence of food for prayer.) I feel like in my #15×15… Continue reading #15×15 Check-in: Feasting and Fasting

#15×15 Check-in: Motivation

July 29, 2013 Paula2 Comments

This week was hard again. I just feel like I’m losing motivation. I’m tired of doing the hard work. I’m tired of it taking so long. I just want to be at my goal already! I did eat a few cookies this week, and despite the exercise I got in and eating pretty healthy, I… Continue reading #15×15 Check-in: Motivation
