I asked God for strength, that I might achieve;
I was made weak, that I might learn humbly to obey.
I asked for health, that I might do greater things;
I was given infirmity, that I might do better things.
I asked for riches, that I might be happy;
I was given poverty, that I might be wise.
I asked for power, that I might have the praise of men;
I was given weakness, that I might feel the need of God.
I asked for all things that I might enjoy life;
I was given life, that I might enjoy all things.
I got nothing I asked for but everything I had hoped for.
Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered.
I am, among men, most richly blessed.
*At the end of the civil war, this prayer was found folded in the pocket of a confederate soldier.
I signed up today to take the National Academy of Sports Medicine test. AKA the bad boy of all personal training certifications. I forked over 650 bucks for it and now I've got 120 days to study my butt off. I've heard it's really hard but I've gotten a lot of good advice and with all the health classes I took in college I think I will be ok as long as I over study. It felt like Christmas today for me because it's finally happening and I want this so bad. I've never been so motivated to get my study material in the mail and start studying! I also will go down to Houston in March for a workshop to get more hands on training. I'm just hoping that this will all work out and be successful while helping people as well. I really want to start an at home personal training business. A good friend of mine had a personal trainer come to her home three days a week and would bring all of the equipment and she loved it! I figure for women who are stay at home moms,people who are too self conscious to get to the gym, or people who can't afford a gym membership plus a personal trainer could really benefit from it!For now though, off to the books!
Well today Brandon had to work then we were going to head home to my parents house. I went with Jonathan to his parent's house because it is closer to my brothers house which would make it easier for him to come pick me up. Unfortunately my brother could not get out of his neighborhood so he's stuck at home and I'm at Jonathan's families house. It's been really hard because I want to be with my family so bad right now and knowing I can't wake up and be with them is hard! I know that staying put is the best thing right now and am thankful none of my family members are out in this but I sure do hope the roads improve a bit so we can get home tomorrow! We were suppose to head to Tipton to the grandparents but it might not be until Saturday before we can do that. We shall see though! I hope everyone is safe and sound and warm! MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!
DANNY WON! He was by far my favorite throughout the whole show. Just a humble and positive guy. It doesn't surprise me at all that he was from Oklahoma. Between him and Rudy I wasn't sure who was actually going to win but once he got on the scale I knew he had it in the bag! His starting weight was 430 pounds and by the finale he weighed 191 pounds. Lost 239 pounds!! I read in the Oklahoman that last weeks episode where they all ran the marathon was actually filmed about 7 weeks ago. Danny said that he was working out about 6 hours a day up until the finale and even ran 5 miles with his wife on Thanksgiving day! He said he was so ready for it all to be over so that he could just start maintaining his weight instead of drastically loosing so much. Way to go Danny!!
I am starting to get a little sad that I soon have to pack up my fall decorations and put away my favorite smelling candles and start thinking about Christmas. Don't get me wrong I love Christmas time but I think this year I am going to try and not get too excited about it so early on. Every year I get so excited about Christmas that as soon as Thanksgiving is over I indulge myself into ridiculous amounts of Christmas music and movies and decorations that by the time Christmas gets here I'm already burnt out. I always wonder what it would be like to live somewhere where there is an abundance of spruce trees and snow unlike here where its usually mild and 70. I like to dream that I would be much more into Christmas if that were the case. So this year I plan to take on Christmas bits and pieces at a time. So here's to you, my favorite season of all of some pretty fall pictures before Thanksgiving is gone.
So last night Jonathan and I were figuring out something to watch and we came upon this movie that he had and neither of us had seen it. It's called Young at Heart which is a documentary about these elderly people who are in a choir singing top hits around the world. Yes, these 70-80 something year old people getting to travel to various continents singing is amazing to me! This movie was truly touching and inspiring. Of course some of them sound bad and some have facial hair but aside that its wonderful. I highly recommend it. Besides who could pass up cute old men singing Fix You by Coldplay.
