Weigh-in

It's been a long time since I've done a weigh-in since our bathroom scale quit working at the same time our Wii decided it didn't want to play anymore. The Wii must have gotten over it though b/c the remotes are working again (whew). So, according to the Wii I am 181.7. For not having really exercised in a month, I think that is pretty darn awesome. My clothes say it is more like 183-184 but I like the scales' reading ;)

And since I had the Wii out anyway, I decide to actually do some exercise! woohoo!! I racked up 32 minutes of Wii exercise playing the balance and aerobic games. I forgot how much fun they are - especially the Wii step. I think I could manage to do that regularly.....shhh Don't tell the boys... I also ordered Just Dance 2014 for Christmas! 

Even if I am no longer working on my 5K goals, I still need to stay active!! I have hopped on the treadmill a couple of times and done one of the timed programs. Anyway, this was just meant as a quickie. I'm trying to be productive today but I keep getting sucked into computer land.

Be Still, My Soul

31243, Hymns, Be Still, My Soul, no. 124

1. Be still, my soul: The Lord is on thy side;
With patience bear thy cross of grief or pain.
Leave to thy God to order and provide;
In ev'ry change he faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul: Thy best, thy heav'nly Friend
Thru thorny ways leads to a joyful end.

2. Be still, my soul: Thy God doth undertake
To guide the future as he has the past.
Thy hope, thy confidence let nothing shake;
All now mysterious shall be bright at last.
Be still, my soul: The waves and winds still know
His voice who ruled them while he dwelt below.

3. Be still, my soul: The hour is hast'ning on
When we shall be forever with the Lord,
When disappointment, grief, and fear are gone,
Sorrow forgot, love's purest joys restored.
Be still, my soul: When change and tears are past,
All safe and blessed we shall meet at last.
