For Today (April 19, 2011)
Outside my window... Drizzly and chilly 54 degrees
I am thinking... maybe I should have breastfed longer. Now that I don't have that extra calorie burning, the pounds are slowly (but oh so surely!) creeping in, even if I had started working out three times a week.
I am thankful for... my husband and his dedication to serve. Two years tomorrow since he left for USMC bootcamp!
From the kitchen... leftover Triple Cheese-Spinach Manicotti. It was yummy!
I am wearing... t-shirt, hoodie, pajamas
I am going... to try P90X Kenpo today.
I am reading... Mission of Motherhood by Sally Clarkson
I am hoping... to make it to the Area wide Ladies' Devotional tonight. I wish I could just leave Nathaniel with his Daddy so I could go alone but he has to go to study hall tonight, too.
I am hearing... birds chirping outside.
Around the house... Nathaniel's Easter basket goodies. I hope to make it to Michaels soon so I could buy him an actual easter basket.
One of my favorite things... successfully making homemade things. I made fruit roll-ups (out of real fruit) yesterday and they taste and look just like the store bought-kind, except without the preservatives, chemicals, or added sugar!
Inspired by the church song... The Servant Song
"Brother, let me be your servant;
Let me be as Christ to you.
Pray that I might have the grace
To let you be my servant, too.
I will hold the Christ-light for you
In the night time of your fear.
I will hold my hand out to you;
Speak the peace you long to hear."
A few plans for the rest of the week...

That manicotti sounds delicious! And yes, I wish that I was still breastfeeding for the calorie burning too. It was too easy to gain once I stopped!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful blog you have! Chicken Adobo is so delicious and I am so excited to learn many more filipino recipes. :)
ReplyDeleteI'd love to learn how to make homemade fruit rollups! Let me know if you blog the recipe! Also, Kenpo is one of my favorite workouts. :)
