What's your Real Age?

I had to add this to the blog. I figured it was just as easy to put it here than be old fashioned and do something like send an email out to my friends and family. Heaven forbid, I only do two blog postings a year....

I have loved this website: www.realage.com

Why? I took the online test and entered in my info and whalaa! I'm younger than my real age!!! I have found it fun to learn more about how to be more healthy. It is extremely important to me, for many more reasons than just being thin. My favorite addition is the strength training to my regular working out reoutines. I have been eating better this year and have learned even more.

You could say it is my new obsession. Only to the degree that it has really made a difference in my outlook on being healthy. I will even go so far as to say it is added to my bookmarks on Explorer.

As far as the working out goes, it has been 6 weeks of strength training and I am shocked at the difference. I have only lost 3 pounds, which is a good pace, but overall I wanted to be stronger. So, if nothing else, I'll post the secret, and the rest is up to you if you don't want to do the Realage.com test: http://www.realage.com/WorkoutCenter/fitness/fitDesc.aspx

With only two blog posts a year, would it really be posted if it wasn't phenominal? Ask my husband...

New Year, New Changes

I (Melanie) got laid off from Richmond American Homes in early November. We're not sad though. It was a twisted and corrupt division (many good people but the upper management was awful!) Our lease was up at the end of the year, and we couldn't find a new place to live that will suit our needs so we're moving in with Josh's parents. But it will be a blessing to save up some money.

As far as jobs, I'm still applying to jobs and starting the process of a few interviews now and am excited about the prospects. I've done this so much in the past five years, one would think I'd have more patience! It's always a test of patience :-)

Honestly, we've both never been happier even though we have had a number of trials. Life is incredible when you are married to your best friend! I'm just so thankful for the blessings I've received and the covenants I've made with my Heavenly Father. Oh, life is so good!
