So Here's A Question...

How come whenever I to the gym I immediately feel skinnier? I feel skinny as I work out. I feel skinny when I get home. I just feel skinny. I mean seriously, I know I am not ACTUALLY skinnier. But man I know how to brain wash myself. It's like my brain tells the rest of my body, "OH the girl is sporting some pigtails and is fixin' to sweat, let's make her feel great about it!!" I love my brain for that.

check it out...i can wear pigtails now...my hair is finally growing after this catastrophe
I also LOVE Good Mail...and honey, the mailman delivered some goodness...Janna participated in my last swap and sent me the most darling monogrammed goodness for hosting...a super cute apron and notebook. Thank you so much Janna, you are a doll! For those of you wondering when my next swap is going to be...I will be announcing it soon, so keep an eye out for that!
Jordan got Good Mail too! Grandma Lynn and Grandpa Hal sent her the cutest little candy apple clutch purse and a YW values book mark. After Jordan read the card she said, "Grandma always write the best notes, they make me feel loved." (mom it is true, your notes rock!) So thank you Grandpa and Grandma for the fun Good Mail!
We have a lot happening around here. So much stuff that I cannot blog about. Can you please add our little family to your prayers? We are counting our blessings and trying to pay attention to all the good going on in our lives...because as you know, what you pay attention to grows. But we could most def use a few extra prayers as we work our way through some pretty tough stuff. We are so thankful for amazing friends and family.

I am lovin' that adorable apron of yours! I, too, look forward to your next swap...that last one (my first!) was so much fun! You can rest assured that I will lift you and your family up in my prayers.

Isn't it weird how the brain works. I instantly feel better when I get to work out to.

Can't wait till the next swap, I so want to join in on that one.

I'll keep you in my prayers.

Amy said...

Prayers and positive vibes headed your way.

Cadance said...

Yep...my brain does that too about the gym thing...unfortunatly it doesn't have any effect on the scales brain....nope still the same! =)

I totally agree with the skinny thing. When I worked out I always felt skinnier and prettier. Must be those endorphin things.

I do believe that I will try to participate in the next swap. I am a follower so I will know when that is going to happen.

I will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers.

I. WANT. THAT. APRON. Who made it for you?! I want to make them my new BFF.

Dang that purse is cute. You might have to "borrow" it from J.

I feel skinnier just putting ON my Old Navy yoga workout pants. Even now...when I stretch them on to sit on the sofa and brownie ice cream sundaes while I watch biggest loser.

Amy said...

Grandparents are the best. I love that purse. I wonder where they go it.

I will send out prayers. I hope all is well for you.

cjnichols said...

I feel the same way about working out, although it has been a while since i worked out ;-(
Love ya!

kel said...

Um... I never set foot in a gym, so I wouldn't know. But I may just have to try it now that I read that!!!

Your hair is cute!!!

LissaMarie said...

my brain does the same thing. When I am eating healthier and working out, I always feel so much better about myself. I'm not sure why that happens, but I like it!

shortmama said...

I know exactly what you mean. I get off the treadmill and feel like the pounds are just falling off, until I get on the scale of course. Keeping your family in my prayers.

devri said...

I feel the same way, now if I could find the gym...argh!

Oh my that was a funny bad hair cut post. I can't believe they were going to make you pay for it!!! Glad that it's grown back.

Now I'm worried because I have an appointment today!!

Congrats on the cute pigtails. I hate hair catastrophes and heaven knows I've had my fair share of them! I hope everything is okay with you and your family. Your're one of my favorite bloggy buddies! I'll be praying and pulling for ya!

So glad the hair is growing out. I've felt your pain on that one. You and the fam have all my prayers. I have faith that it will all work out for you. (((Hugs)))

hfl said...

Cute apron. Where do we go to order one? I feel skinnier just thinking about going to the gym, or is it tired that I feel when I think about it,it's one of the 2. Glad J liked her purse.
We pray for you all morning and night.
Love mom

Superjaxster said...

One: Love the piggy tails! Too cute!
and Two: I was pondering your question last night and then did a workout vid. I feel the same way, but the prob is where most people get motivated to eat well after they exercise I feel skinnier so I eat dessert food. LOL. Well at least I burned off a little of that cupcake, right?

mama-face said...

wow. the support of so many prayers! My thoughts are with you too.

Grand Pooba said...
