In the last 2 months (well, it'll be 2 months in a few days) I have lost 15lbs doing Atkins! BMI has gone from 30.5 to 28. Healthy BMI is around 20-24 range. Hubby has lost 25 lbs. I'd say the diet is going well. Despite the rapid weight loss, it feels slow. I want desperately to be at a healthy weight and to have more control over my body. I'm 10lbs up from my wedding weight, which was

So, my hubby and I are doing the Atkin's Diet. We've been doing this for 5 full days. My hubby's lost 10 lbs (!!!), which is approximately 3% of his body weight and I've lost 3 1/2 lbs or 2% of my body weight. FIVE days. We are hoping this trend continues, because this is awesome. The diet consists of high (good) fats/high protein and low carbs. I eat LOTS of veggies, just the lower carb ones (

So here's an update on my life. Matt's unemployed, however he has some promising web developer contract gigs coming up (possibly). We are both actively looking for work. We are on day 3 of the Atkin's diet. Matt's lost 8 1/2 lbs (holy cow!) and I've lost about 2. So far, it seems to be working. We're going to try it for 2 weeks and then go for there. I've really felt like I'm in hell without all

 Michael Spencer recently died. I didn't know who he was, but now I do: he called himself "the internet monk" and he blogged. This particular article is fantastic: http://www.internetmonk.com/articles/B/broken.html

I've joined a small women's group who is studying To Be Told by Dan Allendar about how God co-authors your life. I've read this book before, it is amazing. I'm looking forward to going through this book with other women to see the themes of what God is doing in our lives and what sort of tale I've fallen into (paraphrase from Sam, character in LOTR).

I'm again addicted to the show LOST. When I was pregnant with my daughter in 2006 my hubby was unemployed and I took the last 2 weeks of my pregnancy for maternity leave since I was already 3cm dilated and feeling very uncomfortable. During that time, we watched the first 3 seasons of LOST. We both didn't like the direction of the show so my hubby stopped watching at the end of season 3 and I

I was considering becoming a doula as I am very interested in midwifery, now I have gained some interest in becoming an obgyn nurse, hopefully this is something I can pursue once the kids start going to school.This is a great article on the importance of doulas:http://www.scienceandsensibility.org/?p=839

To update my blog post from September 03, 2007 in which I listed the major events from 2004-2007 I will add both those events and current events just to display how crazy my life has been in the past 5 years (from most recent to least recent):Me adjusting to being full-time SAHM with now TWO kids while living with in-lawsMatt gets dream job after 5 months of no income, although salary is less

I just had the thought, what if I had been born on or around my actual due date instead of prematurely? I realized that my life would (could) be dramatically different.I was due on Thanksgiving (end of November) of '80. Instead I was born 6 weeks early on October 13th. My mom had a high risk pregnancy (pregnancy induced hypertension) and was hospitalized in Mississippi even though we were living

I'm in North Carolina w. the in-laws. It's not so bad here. Family is nice, weather is nice. My husband finally found his dream job! So all is not bad. I just need to get out of my shell and start meeting some people!

My job is ending in 1 week and I'm looking into going into nursing school. Life has been SO hard, it has not stopped and I have not had a chance to rest for YEARS. I'm looking into the abyss hoping that if I step out in faith God will bring some peace and rest, life and hope. I'm so hurting & looking for a community of believers. I've experienced really Christian community before and

It's 2009 & I have a new baby and a new job. Matt is at home taking care of 7 month old Liam (who just cut his first tooth) and 2 1/2 year old Kaylin who is so precocious and delightful. I am working for a job with the State of Ohio. I did have my VBAC, although I had to make lots of compromises. I'm hoping that 2009 will be a wonderful year. 2004 was hard, 2005 was life-changing (got married),

Wow. Am I dealing with insomnia. I get so tired I'm ready to pass out and then when I lay down to sleep I can't doze off. So here I am at 3am. Hopefully writing down my thoughts will help.I'm thinking about:#1. Childbirth. I'm 23 weeks pregnant with baby # two. I wonder whether or not my pelvis will be measured as being adequate so that they'll let me try for a VBAC. I have a great distrust for

We now live in Columbus, Ohio. God has called us here and it has been a tough journey. I looked over my previous posts, and life has changed so much in the past 3 years. My life issues back then seemed so small compared to what they are now and I have SO much more experience and wisdom. How can 3 short years have changed me so dramatically?Things that have happened over last 3 years (order of

Wow. No one has been to my blog since my last blog post. Oh well, I'm not as anxious for people to read what I've written as I once was. The change in the last few years is that I'm not looking for anyone's opinion.Some introspective thinking:What is life all about? I don't think God intended for me to live just for fun. Life has been hard. I'm trying to figure out what I'm supposed to DO. I feel

I think I might be getting old. I'm only 26, but I was around college-aged students tonight and I felt SO old. I can barely stay up past 10pm anymore. I guess that's what happens when you become a parent. Teenagers and young adults have so much passion and energy. I used to have a lot of passion. I think a lot of hard and dramatic things have happened over the last 4 years that really grew me

I was watching a reality makeover show today and it left me feeling bad. The daugther and friend had dragged the mom onto this makeover show. The family lived in a rural area and the mother wasn't into fashion because she farmed. She liked long floral dresses and wore her greyish orange hair in a long ponytail. I watched her heart break as her daughter and friend critized her and told her that

I've been listening to a radio ministry called Key Life with Steve Brown. This guy rocks.I first heard him over the radio a couple of days after Luke committed suicide. I was grieving and struggling over the question of whether or not those who commit suicide are forgiven and get to be with God. I whipped open my Bible to the Book of Matthew and read about the "unforgivable sin" Jesus talks about

Yes, you read correctly. The lucky man is Matthew Paul Craig of the Craig household of Margate, Florida. He is so wonderful. We met in Orlando 5 years ago and have been friends since then. I just recently found out that Matt has been interested in marrying me for 3 years. We dated briefly in Orlando, but I was mostly interested in him as a friend and then he moved to South Florida over a year ago

Hello everybody. Sorry it has been so long since my last blog. I have been busy working and traveling. I had a wonderful time in New Hampshire visiting my mom Glynis, step-dad Bob, and brother Brian. Brian and I went snowboarding. I am quite impressed with his snowboarding abilities! Snowboarding is soooo hard, and I am not in the shape to do it. Maybe when I was in high school. I don't think

Hi everyone. This is Kim (duh). I've had several people email me lately and tell me that they haven't been able to post comments to my blog entries. I am going to try to figure out what's going on with that. Sorry :-( That really sucks that no one can post to my site right now, however I am very glad that people are still able to email me. Glad to hear from you :-D Oh! I checked out where I'll

I just took a couple of cool tests online. One of them was an IQ test. They say my IQ is 127 and that I am an "insightful linguist." The other test I took was an inkblot test...very interesting. Here's what it said about me....http://web.tickle.com/tests/inkblot/result.jsp

Errands for tomorrow: 1. Go to BEMA to fill out paperwork for job. 2. Call BSO to find out status of background check. 3. Pay bills (fun, fun, fun) 4. Call people haven't talked to a a while! 5. Um...from there I think of something to do... Just sorting my thoughts. I am so glad I am back to posting. It makes me happy. Oh, for those of you who don't know, I just had a birthday on Wednesday (

Hi everyone. I am back again. I haven't felt like writing a post recently. I had stress of not having a job and getting into an accident that made my car undriveable. I, since my last post, have obtained a job with Broward Emergency Management Agency. Yay! I go in tomorrow to fill out paperwork and get a tour of the facility. I am anxious to start working. I know this'll change a lot of things.

Okay. I am deleting my other Blog (the one about my dreams) because although I remember my dreams almost every night there has been nothing that I felt would be particularly interesting to other people. So bye bye Land of the Sub-Conscious!

Hi everyone. I know it's been a few days since I last wrote. Things have changed a little...I had a car accident. No one was hurt (and no other car damaged but mine), but my car is undrivable. So I am very discouraged as I have no job and no car. So my plan of action as of today is to get a job in the plaza right across the street (Big Lots is hiring) just for some income and think about my

It is now October. Great things about October: 1. It starts getting colder 2. October Fest 3. Hay Rides and Candy 4. My birthday on the 13th (I'm going to be 24 eek...)

Today I went to the mall to look for seasonal work...no luck there :-( Then I went on a bicycle riding adventure (for 3 miles). It was so much fun. I am so glad I was given this bicycle for free. All I had to do was buy a new seat (the old one was VERY uncomfortable, the new one is nice n cushy). After bicycle riding I watched part of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, which is a great movie

My mood is back down again so I'm focusing on tasks I need to accomplish to make it through the day. I am doing laundry and am going to go grocery shopping and pay the bills. Today I watched Crazy/Beautiful which put me in an awful mood. It was about this 17 year old girl who destroys everything in her path. She is severally depressed due to her mother's suicide and her father's neglect. She

I am feeling much better after going for a walk and going to church. I was able to gain a new perspective on things. I forgot to mention that I received my new Florida ID in the mail with my correct address. They changed the Florida licenses so that they now look like most other states' ID. It looks so different, much uglier. People are going to think my ID is fake, I swear. The picture in the ID

Today I'm feeling very discouraged. Hurricane Jeanne came and went (quickly, thank God), my EMA interview didn't go so hot. I keep trying to get a hold of the Sheriffs office to find out how long the background check will take, but the HR lady is so busy she hasn't gotten back to me. Now I don't know what I should do. I know I should keep looking for a job, but I really want the one at the

So...there was another Hurricane (Jeanne), but I didn't make a big deal out of it. I mean, Frances got me so worked up for nothing that I didn't care much about Jeanne. After the Hurricane I worked out to my belly-dancing aerobics video (that's right--I said belly-dancing...it also teaches Egyptian folk dancing, it's very cool). Then I watched some more of Alias (of course). Right now we are a

Another hurricane is on it's way to us: Jeanne. It's headed toward Jupiter, FL. We are in a Hurricane Watch, again. This is the fourth major hurricane I've been freakin out about: Charley, then Frances, then Ivan. Maybe I should just make sure I'm prepared and stop freakin' out. Not much I can do about it.

I received a packet in the mail from the Navy. They are trying to recruite me to become a Naval Officer. I don't know what I would do in the Navy. I don't think it's my cup of tea. I don't know how they got ahold of me, except that maybe I filled something out online when I was looking at information about the Air Force Reserve. I am not pursuing the Reserve thing as of yet, as I have many other

Okay, for my background check at BSO I have to submit the addresses of anywhere I have lived in the past 10 years. Phew...this has been a hard process, since I have moved so many times! Since 1994 I have lived in this # of addresses in these places: Nebraska 1 Texas 3 Louisiana 1 Vero Beach, FL 1 Orlando, FL 6 (2 on campus, 4 off campus) Pembroke Pines, FL 1 Coconut Creek, FL 1 For a total of

God is so much bigger than me and He has a perfect plan for my life. My frustrations come from trying to do my own thing, my own way. His way is always better. In allowing Him to rule in my heart I have given Him free reign to change me continually more and more into His image. Every time He changes something huge in me, that I never thought could ever change, He does something else. He works in

Now I wait for Broward Sheriffs Office to contact me. It may take a long, long time. Tomorrow I have an interview with Emergency Managment Agency. I am praying that I get a job by October 1. Please pray this for me as well. I have faith that God will answer my prayer. Thank you.

Okay, I'm going to see if I memorized Romans 12 effectively. Let me give an intro: Romans is written by the Apostle Paul to the new Christian believers in Rome 56-57AD In the first 11 chapters Paul addresses God's holiness, the unholiness of both the Jews and the Gentiles, the need for righteousness to avoid God's wrath, the way of righteousness being through belief in Jesus Christ, being

I'm feeling better...much much better. I must have had one of those 48 hours viruses. I am so bad, I am up surfin the net while I should be sleeping. I'm so stubborn like that. I'm like a little child who doesn't want to go to bed. I'm soooo tired, yet I don't want my night to be over! Right now I'm looking up interesting ways to apply eye-shadow. Like that is worth sacrificing sleep over. Ha.

Wow. My roomie Kerry and I are becoming addicted to the TV series "ALIAS."We have never watched it on TV. Last week Kerry said she heard it was a cool show and we decided to rent it on DVD at Blockbuster. So the past 2 weeks we have seen the 22 episodes in the first season and 4 episodes of the 2nd season. It is so freakin good! Almost every night I have a dream that I'm a spy for the US

Today is Friday. I just got back from running around. Today was my last day at the temp job. It went well. Busy as usual. I'm so exhausted from my car troubles. I've had to spend $700 to fix it. And they are saying my breaks aren't working properly, which doesn't makes sense since I got my breaks totally replaced 2 years ago. I also went to the temp agency to take some more tests about a possible

Hi all! I have a temp job answering phones at a mortgage company. It's only till the end of the week, but a least it's something (I have been busting my butt looking for work FOREVER)! It pays $11/hour which is incredible b/c all I'm doing is answering phones (I've done much harder work for only $7/hour)! So I'm happy. Time to start paying bills...(ugh). So, I'm still tracking hurricane Ivan.

Wow...Hurricane Frances took F-O-R-E-V-E-R! I was couped up for 4 days (I was starting to get cabin fever)! There wasn't much to do besides sleep and watch the local news. Every station was showing hurricane coverage...news reporters getting hit over the head with pom fronds (for those of you not from Florida I mean Palmtree leaves), news anchors accidently swearing (saying "b%$ch" instead of "

Lot's of prep for the hurricane. Don't know if it'll even hit here. Besides that, I do have a lot on my mind. Many many thoughts. But I have to get to bed because I have to get up early tomorrow (or later today, I should say) to prepare. I'm thinking about how my heart is in a bazillion different places. There are so many possiblities to my life, and so much to look forward to. My life never

Okay, so I'm not as excited about the hurricane as I was yesterday, because it looks like in fact in will most likely hit us. It's a pretty scarey thing. The next 48 hours are unknown. I'm going to need to be praying a lot for everyone's safety. My bro is not doing so well. He has a lot of things going on, a lot of things that aren't promising. I love him so much and I pray for him every day.

Mr. Chaos is kinda schizo, but I love him. He now belongs to my roomie's parents. He likes to cry in the middle of the night and wake people up. Me and Mr. Chaos

It looks like a hurricane is headed this way...or somewhere near here. Why do I always get so excited when there is a possiblity of real danger? I should pray for God to supernaturally dispell the hurricane in the middle of the ocean so that no one gets hurt. But secretly I await the storm in anticipation. I'm sure people who have been through major storms and hurricanes have experienced
