Well, it's been 2 months since I blogged last, I almost forgot I had one. And it's been almost a year since I started the blog.
I seriously haven't lost a pound. What's wrong with me?
The Ugly Truth: I don't know, and I don't care.
I feel like I'm just so worn out. I make excuses for not exercising because I'm tired, or busy.
But today's a new day, so I'll get back up off the couch and start again.
Got any suggestions to beat the "I feel like laying around all day because I'm tired" excuse for not working out?

You need an accountability partner. I made my oldest son (16 yo) be mine *LOL* We live in a great development with it's own pool and fitness center literally a 2 minute walk from my front door and I have used it maybe uhhh 10 times in the past year.
So today I started fresh and had him go with me. I walked on the treadmill for 10 minutes and then did weight lifting for 1/2 hour. (swam yesterday)
Is there someone who can be your partner? Someone to keep you motivated? Personally I have no self-motivation. I have cute clothing in smaller sizes and I look at them and go 'bahhh-whatever' when I see them. But I know I need to get out and exercise! (just cutting down food doesn't do it for me)
and seriously I have over 80 pounds to loose... (ugh, can't believe I typed that *LOL*) Oh well...I'm sure people who see me already 'know' that I'm chubby...Anyways, that partner is someone I think I'm going to need.
Amy,
Even if you aren't active for a couple days remember to get/eat a lot of protein anyway. Remember your body burns more energy digesting protein than anything else. You can tell your self that on those off days where you dont do much, your still burning calories cause of that. I made pudding(lowfat) mixed with protein(soy is best) powder and feel like I'm having dessert. Watch out eating it late in evening it will keep u up if your body isnt used to it yet. It really does give you THAT much energy!
sure do miss getting to know more of you and your personality here on your blog. I hope you will be inspired to share a little more often! JO
Amy-
Hi, this is Micah's mom, Rebekah Hubley from GLA-Haiti.
Please contact me: r_rhubley@hotmail.com
Here is a post of a missionary that I personally know in Haiti. Anna, that she speaks of in her post, took care of Jonas at GLA for 9 months. She is part of our family now. They are HUGE fans of Selah and she wrote this yesterday:

I am here today alone again. Dad is left at 6am with a Pastor that was with us this week from Indiana. He is trying to find a way out of the country for the Pastor. Lori and Anna are still in town I have not heard from them. I know they most likely did not sleep last night due to helping so many people. Lori is such a great nurse and she loves to help those in desperate need. She is just a great person and I love her so much. Anna (our teacher) is with her. She can do lots of dressing changes and she speaks Creole so she can talk to people and help in that way. She will be a big help just being by Lori’s side. I lvoe her so much too!
We do not have any more gas for our car. Enoch is just beside himself about everything. He of course grew up here and had seen a lot in his country. He was shot in the shoulder when he was 13 during one of the overthrows of the government here. He has seen lots, and lots of things. But this is the worse he has ever seen. He wants to help, just like everyone. He want to make sure his friends and family are okay. He want to do all he can to help anyone. He borrowed a motorcycle of a friend today and took a backpack of supplies in to just see if he could help anyone. We still have not heard from his mother.
The kids are doing fair. We are still feeling aftershocks from time to time. That is scary to them. We are trying to keep things as normal as we can for them. I do not have plans at this time to leave with them. We are safe from the dangers of looting where we are at. The community here would do anything for us. They love us and protect us. I would also have to leave Carmelo and Enoch behind. Carmelo still is holding a permanent residence card until we get all his paper work switched over. Enoch does not have a visa. It would be so difficult to leave them at this time. Haiti is my home. I have been here for 15 years, so it just does not seem right to leave now. If we were in Port I am sure I might feel different.
So today we want everyone to continue to pray for Haiti. Pray the rescue teams find survivors. Pray that supplies get to the people. Pray people can find water. Pray that they remove the dead bodies. Pray for strength for those that are trying to help. Pray for families to be reunited. Pray for peace to be in the hearts and minds of many. I am working on uploading some more picture.
This CD below has been playing everyday non-stop since the earthquake in the office. It gives me so much peace to listen to it. I have no idea how to contact this group to thank them for their music. But it has been a true blessing to me.
(under the post was a photo of the cover of the Broken Road CD.
e-mail me and I will connect you all if you are interested...
Also, thank you for checking in on Haiti and giving such good advice about Micah's upcoming surgery. I can't wait to see you guys Feb. 20th in Fort wayne. We should go shopping or hang out... :-)
