2013 revealed

Some updates as far as this year in review thus far.

January 2013.  It seems like it went by in the blink of an eye and life continues to go faster and busier.  I have still not finished my wedding gift to Lorin and Ryan and am procrastinating incredibly much on this project.  It isn't even that it is very extensive, but just the fact that I am arts and crafts challenged at times.

Let's see.  January was a very busy month full of coaching, training, and competitions.  Four of us from the gym (Crossfit Lodo) competed in the Glenwood Springs Competition and ended up getting 5th place out of 22 teams total!  I was very proud of all of the athletes because we all got a personal best on our 1 RM Front Squats!  #winning

February so far has been filled with a lot of the same story stuff including trying to get bigger and stronger by training harder and more each day for the CF games that are coming up in March.  I hate to be only talking about crossfit, but it is an awesome thing to see as a coach that your athletes have made great gains in their lifts and gymnastic skills.  Great job everyone and can't wait to compete with y'all in less than a month.  I think the countdown is 24 days until the Open!  Lets GOOOOO!

On another note, I am getting involved with coaching more teams at CCU and it continues to be a blessing.  The different dynamics of the various teams and their interaction with one another is fascinating to me as a person, leader, and their coach.  I wish the Women's basketball team the best of luck as they head into the playoff season of the greatest time of the year: March Madness! :)

On the flip side.  Fellowship Denver is my church home here in Denver and I am absolutely loving being a part of a church body and community.  I feel like God has called me to be a disciple of His and lead those in the city of Denver to Him.  He is doing amazing things in the lives of many people who are curious about what it means to have a relationship with Christ.  I never thought I would see myself as a "city girl", but am starting to enjoy the opportunities that are present in a large city.  God is teaching me a lot of what it means to be patient and how to love others well.  I pray that if this finds you and you read up to this point, that God will richly bless you with his love and grace and I have no doubt that He will.  Accept His grace and let the Holy Spirit move through you, strengthening your faith in God and it will change your life.  God will change your heart and show you His way to everlasting righteousness with and in Him! Everyone deserves to have a relationship with God and by grace you are saved through Him!  Accept His intimate love that is has been poured out for you and let his love radiate through your soul.

2013 is going to be a great year!

So Blessed

Congratulations to my little sister, Lorin and my new brother Ryan on their recent marriage.  The wedding was a blast and everyone who came had a great time.  It was such a glorious time filled with God's love.  This marriage will last a lifetime because it is rooted in Christ and built upon his foundation. 

Thank you God for these two amazing people you have blessed me with.  I am so gracious of Jesus love and mercy that He gives me! 

I love you both!

Just some updates

This past week I spent some time with Ashtyn and her two dogs. Annie got in trouble for knocking the trash over and spilling it everywhere and Ozzie got a new hoodie for winter time. He either loves it or hates it.

This weekend I got to go to Dallas and do some shooting and toured around SMU and other parts of Dallas. Here are some photos from recent times that I thought I would share.

More Sobering Crap About Sitting

We all keep seeing reports about the dangers of sitting (and clearly, I can't stop blogging about it), but everyone keeps their butt cheeks glued to the couch anyway. According to this new article in the New York Times, most of us spend "50 to 70 percent" of our lives sitting -- mostly at work or in front of our television sets.

Is TV really that good? Perhaps. I, for one, have spent many an hour planted in front of the boob tube, gazing slack-jawed at the glowing images on the screen. But check this out:

Every single hour of television watched after the age of 25 reduces the viewer’s life expectancy by 21.8 minutes. By comparison, smoking a single cigarette reduces life expectancy by about 11 minutes, the authors [of an Australian research study] said.

Looking more broadly, they concluded that an adult who spends an average of six hours a day watching TV over the course of a lifetime can expect to live 4.8 years fewer than a person who does not watch TV.

Those results hold true, the authors point out, even for people who exercise regularly. It appears, Dr. Veerman says, that “a person who does a lot of exercise but watches six hours of TV” every night “might have a similar mortality risk as someone who does not exercise and watches no TV.”

Guess I'll have to catch up on episodes of The Walking Dead while standing up.

 

 

Think about it.

 

Maybe this is why I don't have cable.

Sugar no mo'

As some of you know I started a 34- day sugar detox where there is no consumption of sugar, sugar substitutes, or fruit. The 5 or 6 girls and I that are doing it have completed the first week of it and are off on a roll of adjusting their food intake. I can say that I have found a new love for veggies. Every kind and color of veggies!!! And they are so incredibly sweet when there is no other source of sweetness. Eggs are my heaven and I eat them all day every day. Pretty much. Anyway just thought I would drop in and pen a line at 5:25 this am. Feel free to throw your comments and questions at me. More to come later. And I have a new found love for the egg yolk. Used to hate it!!! Passion yolk. Nummm numm
