I am pooped!

Whew I have massaged up a storm this week.  And my body can tell it.  But I am so happy to be burning calories. According to Spark People each hour of massage I perform burns around 500 calories. That is awesome. So I am burning calories and I am liking what I do. Unfortunately I don't like exercising so this is good. Now I know I need some more cardio, but this is great. I am back down to 279 pounds which makes me glad and I am motivated to keep on. I am pooped but happy to be that way. 

My warm heart.

Today my daughter warms my heart. You put so much into raising them and you spend a lot of time on your knees and all in hopes they will be God loving, happy, rounded, adjusted individuals in the end.  So far she is an answer to my prayers. Check out her blog and you will see what I mean.  What a reward. Thank you God. http://www.gogreeno.blogspot.com/

Today I went shopping and bought a couple of things. I am so happy to report that I was able to buy 18/20 instead of 22/24. Yahooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Little bits of progress.  It got me very motivated. 

A quote I like.

Treat the Earth well. It was not given to you by your parents. It was loaned to you by your children. - Kenyan proverb

This came from the weight loss site I use called Spark People. I liked it and wanted to share.  
I am floundering on this diet/health plan. I am keeping my head above water but not making much progress. I am still in it for the long haul though. I am. 

Stewardship of the Earth

Reduce, reuse, and recycle sounds great, but do we really think about (and apply) earth management into our daily lives? You might not litter, but how often do you drive your own vehicle rather than carpooling? What about buying "green" products instead of commercial items made with harmful chemicals? It is easy to disregard the dangers to the environment because there are no immediate consequences to our lives. However, think about how the earth will be in 50 years if everyone lived as you are today. Set a good example to your children of stewardship for the earth by recycling, eating fresh fruits and vegetables, and generally appreciating nature. Instead of going to Disney World, go on a camping trip. Turn off the TV and pick some flowers. This world is not ours alone. It is communally shared with all of the generations before us, and all of those to come after us.
