The first week back from Fall Break is over, and this week has proven difficult. The weather changed, going from 70s and 80s to 40s and 50s rather abruptly, and my body doesn't adapt well.
We won our first volleyball game of the season rather handily. Let's hope this proves to be a trend. We had dinner guests over one night, and played Star Wars on Monday. Both were good times. Went to the Ren festival on Saturday with Andi and her fiance Vince, and we went to my brother-in-law's birthday party. We also signed up for a new insurance plan, and of course the rates are all going up, but we'll adapt.
We instituted a new workout regime including strength training. And let me tell ya, it is definitely a challenge. It's a four day-a-week plan including walking all the other days and so far we haven't seen a lot of results on the scale, but my waistline does seem to be decreasing a bit.
Since we got on a budget, we haven't gone to the movies, but we plan on watching one today. Not sure which, but probably City of Ember. Actually, our movie-going is probably more influenced by the quality of movies coming out more than anything. The big Florida game is today, so I'd like to wish the injury-depleted Wildcats good luck.
I Surrender All by Clay and Renee Cross
This book is about Clay Cross's struggles against the sinful addiction of pornography and how they went from the edge of ruin to a ministry of helping to create "Holy Homes." Clay Cross, a contemporary Christian singer, spoke at a marriage conference we went to, and this ministry really speaks to me. I've had my own struggles and with the Lord's help, we've made making our home a "Holy Home" a priority in our lives. The wife and I have started looking at our collection of books, movies and TV shows in a different light, thanks to the insights of this book. Recommended for married adults who are struggling with decisions about what media to expose their family and marriage to. ***

Weight training is still on my 'meant to do' list but it's necessary. When I was doing it, my weight went up at first (muscle weighs more, ya know) but I've been told to look at the fit of the clothes. And eventually it goes down from greater calorie burn.
I have the same cold and needed a sub last week but have dragged myself in otherwise, subjecting the kids to hearing me blow my nose (while I use LOTS of hand sanitizer). Hope you feel better.
Hehe...We'll be happy to take all those sinful books off your hands (not any porn, but the other stuff...) Hugs!
