I've had a pretty great day.

I woke up to an email from my trainer. As you probably know, I went to a fitness boot camp for the last 5 weeks. It was supposed to be 6 weeks, but I didn't move to Longview until the 2nd week. I didn't even care that I was missing a week...I needed to work out! Yesterday after our final workout, I got reweighed and remeasured. Talk about good results!

I lost 11 pounds.

Down 6.83% in body fat.

Lost 25.75 inches overall.

Gained almost 8 pounds of muscle and lost 19 pounds of fat.

But more than anything else, I feel great! I can tell I'm stronger, which is great. If you're interested in joining me, the next session starts Aug. 3. There's an informational meeting this week. Feel free!! I'd love some company (and competition). ;)

So after a great email, I went to Project Longview. We helped repair and repaint a lady's house in South Longview. I don't pride myself in being that great at home repair, but I really enjoyed helping this nice older lady. The guys replaced some rotted wood paneling on the outside, and the ladies caulked and painted the new boards. We were able to replace her front and back doors so she could have deadbolt locks, and we cleaned up some broken bricks and concrete from her yard. By the end of the day, I had almost as much paint and caulk on me as I put on the house, but I knew it was for a good reason. We had a chance to pray for the homeowner and share with her a little about the church. I'm so proud to be a part of LFA.

Now, I'm babysitting my precious nephews. I am so in love with them. :)
