I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart....

This morning I was at Walmart getting groceries. It was a rather nice experience considering no one was there. There was a man, probably about mid to late 30's there with his daughter. She was maybe 9-10, and sitting in the basket area of the buggy. He was busy looking at the bread, and his beautiful little girl suddenly starts singing, "I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart...where? Down in my heart? where? Down in my heart..." She's singing it loud and proud. I couldn't help but stop and listen to her. Even her father looked down at her and smiled. Now, if that wasn't the Lord singing through that child, I don't know what was. She was so happy in her song. What a beautiful way to finish my grocery shopping.

Today was the first day of my official "Get Healthy" routine. Remember how here I stated that I didn't want to look like a barge when floating the Comal River this summer. So, it's official. 15 minutes on my brand new elliptical, and I feel nice and sweaty, but happy. I'm on my way!!! What's even cooler is that the hubby has decided that the elliptical is "not really" a "chick work out machine" and has decided to use it also. I'm so proud of him! Of course....he'll drop about 25 pounds in 2 weeks...and I'll barely hit 5....but that's the way it works with men-vs-women. *sigh*

Last night I caught up with a very old friend of mine. We haven't seen one another since I was pregnant with my oldest. It was so nice to hang out and catch up. It's kind of funny how you can pick up where you left off. Of course, I didn't get home until 3:30 this morning, and had to be at work by 8. Oh well...it was worth it.

So, I'm going to post a ticker on my blog about my weight loss. Keep me in your thoughts and prayers!!!
