YAY JUNE! So, for a great start, I'd like to announce the birth of my second niece!! Her name is Mardi Pieta Bustin, and she was born this morning at 5:01am, weighing 6lbs. 11 oz. From the pictures I've seen so far she is beautiful, with dark hair and looks so tiny. My brother and Andrea were on their way to the hospital at 3:30 this morning, and got pulled over for speeding...but the cop let them off =D. They got to the hospital at 4, and Mardi was born within the hour! CAN'T WAIT to meet her, hopefully I'll be able to get up to Chicago soon.

As for me....a little discouraged about my fitness progress. I've been working out 6 days a week and eating like a CHAMP, but not losing the weight that I'm working so hard to shed. UGH...feeling like I'm stuck against a wall. Pressing through though, and just trying to do what I know I should. Hopefully some results will come SOOOOOOON.

FITNESS: Spin class this am.

STUDY: Abnormal Psychology Lectures for school.

PLAN: Spin class. Chiropractor appointment and massage. Work. Study. Bed =).

ACTION: Practice everything. Be fully present. Embrace community....LEARN community!!

YAY!!! And, she was born on a Tuesday...how perfect! :)

Are you eating enough calories? I know Liz is WAAAAY more knowledgeable about this than I am(so talk to her), but I know that if you're not eating enough, your body will hang onto what it thinks it won't get later. Just a thought.

Congrats, Auntie!

Having just come back from Chicago where I saw my 20 month old nephew, I can say that being an Auntie ROCKS!! =)

Fitness: ran - maybe two miles? didn't keep track but felt good. ate like crap...was at the restaurant for nine hours on my feet and kept shoving anything i saw into my mouth! probably ate around 3000 calories, many of which were chocolatey.

Study: school stuff, still reading my fun book

Plan: none today...still working on the other plan for this week

Action: just did school and work today. just got home and will get 8 hours of sleep! :)

Miss you all!

[Elizabeth Carpenter]

Sounds like you are busy as ever and know that we miss you too... keep focused and moving forward in all m'dear!

[Grant R. Nieddu]

ha! 3k calories requires a 3k run, I think!!!

JK.still waiting to hear from 'bucks!

FITNESS: Worked out with Liz yesterday. I had taken several days off (had an awful cold/flu for 4 days or so while in Chicago...blech!). Felt really STRONG after the time off. Love it!!!

STUDY: Continuing to read and listen to audio about relationships and healing. God has taken me right to my core "stuff," it seems. I am excited to take this head on, but it's a little unsettling at the same time. Keepin' at it, though. Have a study plan that I outlined and will keep hitting it hard core.

PLAN: MITs for today include: 1) Eat well, 2) Make a bazillion calls (done!), 3) Audio for 1 hour, 4) Maybe a movie for relaxation (yesterday was go, go, go...), 5) Declutter one functional area for 30 minutes, 6) Attend meeting.

ACTION: Continue to stay present in each moment. Choose faith over fear. Speak my truth.

Still not feeling 100%, but am actually impressed with how well I've kicked this cold/flu thing. It's a great sign that my immune system is rebuilding and improving. I'm excited about that.

Tomorrow I hope to outline the habits I'd like to build in June. I was successful in building some great habits in May. It took most of the month for me to get things to where I was doing what I set out to do a majority of the time each week. I heard a great quote somewhere last week: It's not what you do every single day that matters, it is what you do most of the time (when it comes to building good habits, like eating well). I like the low pressure way that is phrased. Otherwise I get all legalistic and freak out... =)

[Krysta]

good to have you back! see you saturday night =D.

[Elizabeth Carpenter]

Yes, so glad you are back and see you Saturday! :)

[Christina]

YEAH to Saturday with the ISFJ Ladies!! I have an awesome book to bring (if I can remember to bring it!). Brien picked it up at the bookstore tonight and it is really quite interesting!!

[Elizabeth Carpenter]

Fitness: Run + abs in the AM.

Studied: Reading the Bible and Atlas Shrugged by: Ayn Rand.

Plan: Quiet Time, workout, work (had to be at work by 7:30 am this morning and was busy from the get go, but it was a good productive day), reading and more studying this evening.

Action: To stay focused, productive, and moving in the direction God is leading.

Quote: "Freedom from the desire for an answer is essential to the understanding of a problem."
-Krishnamurti

[Christina]

I love this quote! I completely lived it today. Realized WAY too late in the day that I am so focused on the answer to my current "problem" that I am not allowing the "problem" to be fully realized and dealt with. Quick...insta-answer, please...STAT!!! =)
