finish strong friday

Friday's Birthday Season's gifts included a favorite of ours...Final Day of School!!!! We celebrated lunch out at a local pizza place and then ran a few errands. The boys had been given some gift certificates for finishing their books in Awana, so we went to 5 Below and found some treasures. I found a $5 t-shirt that I love...it's in a pic below. After shopping, the boys needed haircuts. It just so happens that the boys' favorite place for haircuts is right next door to The Mix, a local froyo place. Yes, we celebrated again...well, I stopped at Dunkin and bought myself a coconut decaf, the boys had froyo.

After arriving home, it was time to get in my workout for the day. Friday is leg day in P90X. I love leg day. It is actually Legs & Back and Ab Ripper X day. It works up a great sweat and is a whole lot more fun than cardio. {smile}

Before long, it was time to take off for Alex's baseball game. He was the clean up batter (4th in the rotation). The team has been playing so well lately. This game was more of the same. The game was a real barn burner The lead went back and forth until the other team tied us in the top of the ninth. Our boys had to dig in and make something happen with their bats...and they did! Base hits and stolen bases brought about the winning run. It was so amazing to watch! For the night Alex was 1 for 3...striking out twice, but at his third at bat getting a solid 2 RBI base hit. I ♥ my ball player!

#TransformationTuesday

"But God has surely listened and has heard my prayer." Psalm 66:19 As one who has struggled with weight all of my life, seeing the ups and downs in jean sizes became my reality. I would lose some pounds only to face a stressor in life and see them return and bring friends along for the ride. I spent years believing lies, yet secretly hoping for a better reality. Lies that I am not capable of overcoming my sweet tooth and that I am just not the workout type, topped the list. I have never really lacked self esteem or self confidence; I know who I am. However, I know from personal experience, others define me by what they first see. Having been a plus-size lady for years, I was treated differently, intentionally or not, when I dropped pounds. My health journey to where I am today began back in 2010. It is amazing that things do not happen accidentally, even if they seem to in the beginning. Actually, as the pieces of my story have come together, this story begins w

home of the Braves

As a metro Atlanta resident, it seems almost a requirement to go to a Braves game to continue living here. I grew up watching baseball and loving the game...and have been to a few games in St. Louis, Cincinnati, Detroit...and of course, Atlanta. The problem for me going to a Braves game is purely mental...having been a Mets and Cardinals fan for years, I just haven't the love necessary for the Braves to call me a fan. However, as with many things in life that I haven't particularly enjoyed over the years, my boys make it so worth my time and heart. I go watch the Braves because I love my boys...and my boys and I love baseball. Well, they love what they know of the game...still in training, but getting the hang of the lingo and SOP's of a baseball fan rather well. There are a few things that remain the same from stadium to stadium..."the wave" (Braves' attendees do not always get into this, which is very disappointing), organ music to lead you to yell &q

Go. Be. Do.
