Alpha Omega Check-In (1/31/09)

[lifeverlasting78]

Good afternoon to everyone!

"Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord, Jesus Christ" (Romans 5:1).

I pray you are all having a blessed weekend so far! I just got back from having lunch with my sister, aunt, and cousin. That was a nice time! It's been a very busy morning and this is my first chance to check-in.

Iris, I'm glad you enjoyed your total conditioning class last night. It sounds like another one I would like! High reps get me too!!

Linda, I hope you are back to full health today! You are going to LOVE Fireproof! You will have to share your opinions with us after you see it!

Karen, that Fireproof study sounds interesting. Will it focus on the marital relationship? My church also participated in the Love Dare, but my husband and I didn't do it. Good luck with the weather headed your way! Depending on how the storm track goes, we may get hit with a major storm too on Tuesday!

I didn't get a workout in yet and I doubt I will now. I planned on it, but I've had such a busy morning/afternoon and now I'm beat! I'll update if I do workout, but as it stands, looks like it's an off day for me!

Blessings to all!!

Good Afternoon Ladies,

So glad the weekend is here

Christine, time spent with family is always nice I am looking forward to a visit from a cousin I haven't seen in years. She's planning to visit next Friday.

Karen, when I went to pick up my copy of "Fireproof", I was surprised by how much material they have on this. There were studies and devotionals. I can see why your church is doing a study on it. Soo many marriages could use a program like this, or the Love Dare Christine mentioned.

Hope your feeling all better Linda, and enjoy the movie. I am going to watch it today, since hubby is home from today.

I worked out at home today. I did Powerstrike 5. Love the Powerstrike workouts. I also did Slow & Heavy Legs. Skipped shoulders, since they got hit pretty good at yesterday's class. I was surprised at how sore my chest and biceps felt from yesterday's class. I guess you can never underestimate working with low weights/high reps. I'm always pushing to go heavier, because I get bored with high reps. In a class setting it's much more doable than working out alone.

I'll check in with all of you again later Have a great day.

Last night was DS's turn with the virus, so up most of the night with him. I only managed the step combos from IMAX 2 & 3 and added the first combo & blast from LIS, then the Sitting Stretch from Tamilee. Workout was 1:08 and I burned 456 calories.

Going out with DH and Sister & BIL to show at casino tonight. I need a nap!!!

Still sick. My dd was the last one healthy one in our family and she woke up with a fever and sore throat this morning. Yesterday, my WO involved a trip to the grocery store and the rest of the day I was on the sofa. I am so ready for spring!

Have a very blessed day all. Make sure you use some Purell after reading this post. I'd hate for y'all to get this virus.

Hello everyone,

Today I did Power Max and Upper Body Pyramid. Went to church this evening, then dinner, then Wal-mart, which is our Saturday date night. Seems no matter what I go in there for, I always end up spending waaaay more then I wanted!! I need to find a different place to shop. )

Christine, we are doing an in home group study on Fireproof which involves a weekly meeting, short video, then discussion on homework from the previous week. It is centered on the 40 day Love Dare and I'm excited to see how it all turns out. Since it is based on Christian values, I imagine it will be awesome.

Iris, yes they do have a lot of material on Fireproof. I did not realize how much til our group facilitator bought all of us in the group the required materials for the study. We are excited to get started and see where the Lord guides us.

Becca, I've "purelled" my hands after reading your post so I think I'll be fine. Hope you see an end to the sickness soon for you and your family. Looks like you've had your hands full. Praying for good health coming your way soon. Not soon enough, right. )

Linda, have a good time tonight!! You deserve it with all the "crud" hitting you and your family. You still had a good workout considering all you've been through. How is your arm and hand?

Off to watch some tv before heading to bed. You guys are the best, and I pray you have a peaceful nights sleep amid the sickness and discomfort. Let's ALL get healthy and stay that way, ok??

God Bless,
Karen

Aww ladies, I'm soo sorry to hear you are still dealing with viruses, etc. It seems, when you have small children, it just goes from one person to the next.

Linda, enjoy your much needed break today

Becca, I hope you and your family feel better soon. I hate seeing the little ones sick. Thank the Lord, I have managed to stay healthy despite my husband having about 2 colds already this winter, and my son and daughter as well. My hubby had to call out sick from work today as a matter of fact. He has laryngitis. I'm still trying to hang in tough, lol.

Karen, after watching the movie, I think those studies are a great thing. I sat to watch the movie with my husband today, and even my 13 year daughter sat and watched the whole thing with us. I'll have to go back to the christian bookstore and really check out what they have available.

Hubby started reading the book I bought. I am in the midst of reading another book I started earlier, and after hinting a couple times, he just came out and asked if he could go ahead and read it before me. I was thrilled. I love when he and I read the same books and then we can talk about what we've learned

Heather if you read this, Congratulations on your 5K. I am extremely happy for you. What an accomplishment.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend ladies. Tomorrow is my rest day. It has been good having Sunday's as my rest day. Especially with my daughter's soccer games usually scheduled for Sunday afternoons.
