Staying Active Makes Me Happy



I love being healthy! People always say that if you can stick with it long enough you will get addicted, and I see what they mean. Since January I have been going to the gym a minimum of 3 days a week, and it has changed my life :)

1. My hormones are more balanced
2. My relationship is more fun!
3. I have so much more energy
4. I see life more clearly
5. I am happier
6. I am more conscious of my diet
7. I get more done
8. I feel more grounded at work

I thought I would share this with you, just in case you were thinking about starting that work out routine back up :) It's for the best!

I Get Out - Lauryn Hill

I get out, I get out of all your boxes
I get out, you can't hold me in these chains
I'll get out
Father free me from this bondage
Knowin' my condition
Is the reason I must change

Your stinkin' resolution
Is no type of solution
Preventin' me from freedom
Maintainin' your polution
I won't support your lie no more
I won't even try no more
If I have to die, oh Lord
That's how I choose to live
I won't be compromised no more
I can't be victimised no more
I just don't sympathize no more
Cuz now I understand
You just wanna use me
You say "love" then abuse me
You never thought you'd loose me
But how quickly we forget
That nothin' is for certain
You thought I'd stay here hurtin'
Your guilt trip's just not workin'
Repressin' me to death
Cuz now I'm choosin' life, yo
I take the sacrifice, yo
If everything must go, then go
That's how I choose to live

That's how I choose to live...
Hehehehe, awhh
No more compromises
I see past your diguises
Blindin' through mind control
Stealin' my eternal soul
Appealin' through material
To keep me as your slave

But I get out
Oh, I get out of all your boxes
I get out
Oh, you can't hold me in these chains
I'll get out
Oh, I want out of social bondage
Knowin' my condition
Oh, is the reason I must change

See, what you see is what you get
Oh, and you ain't seen nothin' yet
Oh, I don't care if you're upset
I could care less if you're upset
See it don't change the truth
And your hurt feeling's no excuse
To keep me in this box
Psychological locks
Repressin' true expression
Cementin' this repression
Promotin' mass deception
So that no one can be healed
I don't respect your system
I won't protect your system
When you talk I don't listen
Oh, let my Father's will be done

And just get out
Oh, just get out of all this bondage
Just get out
Oh, you can't hold me in these chains
Just get out
All these traditions killin' freedom
Knowin' my condition
Is the reason I must change

I just accepted what you said
Keepin' me among the dead
The only way to know
Is to walk then learn and grow
But faith is not your speed
Oh, you'd had everyone believe
That you're the sole authority
Just follow the majority
Afraid to face reality
The system is a joke
Oh, you'd be smart to save your soul
Oh, and escape this mind control
You spent your life in sacrifice
To a system for the dead
Oh, are you sure...
Where is the passion in this living
Are you sure it's God you servin'
Obligated to a system
Getting less then you're deserving
Who made up these schools, I say
Who made up these rules, I say
Animal conditioning
Oh, just to keep us as a slave

Oh, just get out
Of this social PURGATORY
Just get out
All these traditions are a lie
Just get out
Superstition killing freedom
Knowin' my condition
Is the reason I must die
Just get out
Just get out
Just get out
Let's get out
Let's get out
Knowin' my condition
Is the reason I must die

Since We Last Spoke...

I have Baked my first and second cake from Scratch!


Double Layer Dark Chocolate Cake with Raspberry's and Chocolate Chips on top! I got this recipe from my Best friend Sara's Mom, and tweaked it to fulfill my dark chocolate fetish!

This One is a Double Layer Cookie Cake with Cream Cheese Icing! It was for our friend Sanjay's (aka: Dragon) hence the cheesy drawing of a Dragon on the cake :)

Next Tim and I started building a bed frame for our bed! I love building things, and it is awesome to have a handy boyfriend to push me in the right direction.


Now we just have to stain it, and we plan to wood burn a tree into the front of it!


Big Kid Track and Field Day for Sanjay's Birthday!


We played Tug of War, Sack Races, Three Legged Races, Egg Toss...

and Wacky Costume Relay Races! This was such a great day!

Finally, our two wonderful friends Sanjay and Emily got engaged!


The best birthday present he could ask for!


Love to you all! Hope your days have been as much fun as mine!
