Still moving through ...

It seems that losing some extra weight in Feb and March was almost impossible. The scale did not move but the clothes are fitting much looser! The heart is recovering much faster. And the lungs are healthier as I can take in more air to continue. ENDURANCE... yeah!

My daughter Brooke and daughter Faithe have been working out with me. My eldest works out at a nearby place with her coworkers, although has a paid membership with her family at the only gym in Lebanon ...(hint, hint, Lindsey .. come on over and work out with us! )

Anyway, my Brooke and I have the same trainer. He is an athlete trainer and I think I am his only non-athlete client. Anyway she is a softball nut, and he is working to assist her improve her batting and fielding. Let me just say, this teenager daughter of mine, does not have much up on me. :) We are traveling every weekend for softball and her team took 2nd at the last tournament.

She can now flip a tire, 18 times in a minute, and I am up to 17. YEAH for Bennett chics. Her form is better than mine and she has some guns for biceps, and she lifts more weights that I, but when it comes to the functional part of our work out, I can keep up!

Faithe has been working out as well. Her trainer Brandi inspires her. Faithe is the cutest little kick-boxer there is! Kuddos to her for attending the last 4 kick boxing classes each Monday night and being the youngest and cutest ever! She is working out a lot....

I have not lost more weight (according to the scale), but have maintained and have for sure when down in clothes size. My man says I have lost more. YEAH. With spring here, I can work out more. In fact, the Bennett girl run each Wednesday morning. Before school starts here at the house, we get out for 45 minutes of a run/jog .. and pant up the hill. It is good for my heart to exercise with the girls. Tuesday is trainer day, Monday is kick-boxing day. Fri is training with my Melissa day, and the rest are on my own ...

Last week, I worked out hard everyday, and still schooled, worked at my new part time job, worked for Bennett Brothers, worked in the garden, and did mom/wife/house/taxi/common-stuff-for-everyday-women stuff ... I have more energy. And to think all those years, I thought I had no time for working out ..

The Polar watch is beeping for all the extra work! YEAH!

Garden season is here. I am excited. I have about 160 little tomato plants growing in my sun room. So many varieties! 65 peppers plants (they are for Brian). I planted 5 tomato plants yesterday. The early varieties of Stupice and Trip and they went into my raised bed. I am harvesting radishes now, and the spinach, peas, lettuce, onions, cabbage, and broccoli are all growing well. Faithe has potatoes and carrots popping up. Can not wait to move from comfort winter food to fresh-straight-from-the-garden-to-our-table food.

Be blessed ... Jesus loves you. Oh how He loves you.
