I Did It

Well I finally did it.  Jumped on the "Exercise" bandwagon. 
I purchased a treadmill from a friend for $50.
I purchased a pair of Nike+ shoes for $50.
And I upgraded to an iTouch.
And started to exercise daily.  At first it was 10 minutes.  Then I worked my way up to 15 in a couple days.  Now I can go 25 minutes and 1.3 miles a day.  It's only been 3 weeks.  And 2 pounds less.
My measurements and weight as of today:
Weight=245lbs
Waist=41in
Hips=54in
Chest=39
Breasts=43
RThigh=33
LThigh=32.5
Now that's some personal stuff going up on here, but you know what it comes down too?  Accountability.  If I throw my stuff out there like that, I have to be accountable for my progress.  Period.

And I highly recommend the Nike+ website.  AWESOME to set goals and track my progress.  Even MORE awesome to meet and/or EXCEED those goals.  I set weekly and realistic goals.  I am not even close to running a marathon yet, but maybe one day next year I will be.  First, I have to ease into that running thing as I'm just walking now.  But I'm walking 6 miles a week at around 19 minutes, so it's all good. 

And I'm making healthier choices.  Except for Sundays.  That's my cheater day.  And I don't feel guilty at all for making any choice.  As long as I exercise, it's all good.

Happy Sunday!
Love,

SummerTime

Ahh...the smell of fresh rain and the sound of thunder and sirens greeted us this week.  Summertime is here. Finally.
We had some storms blow by last week and some more yesterday.  Hopefully the rest of the summer will be uneventful.
The kids are trying to keep busy with the library and other fun stuff to do while I work for my mom taking care of my brother during the daytime hours.  I see a trip to the zoo soon, along with some trips to the lake.
Tommy is still driving for Swift and still enjoying it.  Other than that, not much else going on at the Trump household.  We're just trying to stay cool and out of the sun for the most part.
Happy Thursday and Happy Summer!
Love,
TT

Blake Beske 1996-2010

God Wanted You More

You had to be riding your bike

At that time and that place.

The accident happened so fast

And word traveled much too fast.

But God wanted you more.

We begged, pleaded, and prayed

For your life to spared,

To have just one more chance

To let you know we cared.

But God wanted you more.

You must have been an Angel

In the eyes of our Lord,

For when he called your name,

Like a good boy, you came.

Because God wanted you more.

Yes Blake Beske, you will be missed.

We'll always remember and love you

For the boy that you were and

We will always remember that

God wanted you more.

In Memory of Blake Beske
