How was the day? did you enjoy some family time and time with God? I know I did! My Dad was still here so we got to spend Easter with him as well as my hubbo's family which was nice. <a data-mce-href="http://reesimplelife.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/img_5210.jpg" href="http://reesimplelife.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/img_5210.jpg" style="color: #0066cc; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5;"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-376" data-mce-src="http://reesimplelife.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/img_5210.jpg?w=1024" height="682" src="http://reesimplelife.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/img_5210.jpg?w=1024" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; clear: both; color: #444444; display: block; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; height: auto; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px; max-width: 100%;" title="IMG_5210" width="1024" /></a></div><div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">We went to church where I promptly cried thinking of all Jesus has done for us! Does anyone else have this problem? I'm not a crier, in fact I hardly ever cry but around Easter I cry all the time thinking of what Jesus did for us all. Well, I guess I cry for a lot of church services, one day I had to get up and leave the service because I was crying so hard for all the people who don't know Christ or know how wonderful it is having Him in your life. Okay that's enough of the gush....onto dinner! Philip's parents made raviolis and meatballs and sausage yummy! Which we followed up with lots of talking and easter egg hunting....oh the chocolate!</div><div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">Then it was dessert time.

There was also, brownies, strawberry cake, pineapple upside cake (sooo good), brownies with peanut butter fudge and oreos on top that <a data-mce-href="http://networkedblogs.com/h4lj5" href="http://networkedblogs.com/h4lj5" style="color: #0066cc; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5;">my sister in law</a>made, lemon cake, and chocolate of course!</div><div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">Then around 7:30pm I had to take my Dad to the airport, we are all sad to see him go.

YES down one pound which is not a lot for a whole lot of work but I am finally under my hump and hopefully it will keep going down. <br />
<br />
But I am going back to 1500-1800 calories a day.....I have a basic idea about how much I eat but I don't normally count calories....normally I do it one day a month just to make sure I'm still about 1500-1800.....last week though I did almost everyday and I HATE it! I hate eating unhealthy things because I'm trying to keep my calorie count down....or snacking non-stop because I'm insanely hungry. Or craving a piece of chocolate and never being satisfied because all I want is chocolate but it doesn't fit in the diet. But I pushed through the week and am happy to be down the one pound. But its nice to remember why I don't count calories!<br />
<br />
Anyways my dad, brother and future sister-in-law are here so I'm off to visit, have a easter egg hunt, possibly go to the lake, and make some whole wheat bread and strawberry ice cream (mmm). Enjoy this beautiful spring day everyone!<br />

I can't decide its nice to have the little ones around but at the same time super distracting I have no idea how I did this all the time before.</div><div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"><strong style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.5;">Anyways despite all the distractions I got 2.56 miles in 30 minutes yeah for me!!!</strong> I was surprised I good run this fast, ok so its not super fast but its the fastest I've ever gone. Iwas quite happy with this....although my foot went numb half way through I kept pushing through. Does anyone else have this problem? I hope it doesn't mean anything bad!</div><div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">Well I'm off to make an egg and some oatmeal.

Mine, busy....it seems I am never ending busy lately but its all good busy! </div><div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"><b>This morning I did my first spin class. This is my first class at my gym, I have been there four months, I was just a little frightened of the class. </b>Who knows why, I just was. My original plan was to take a power/weight class first but for some reason couldn't make myself do it. So I decided to take a step back and try something a little more familiar before jumping into the complete unknown. I've seen the spin classes while I was jogging on the treadmill and I kinda of understood them...so it seemed like a good fit. And it was, I had a pretty good time, it took me awhile to get use to it. And the first time I stood up on the bike I was like oh this is gonna be rough but as I got into it, it was not so bad and was surprised when it was over, it seemed so short. I was quite pleased with myself. <b>Next time I'll definitely have to up the volume if you know what I mean!

I also have strawberries all over the yard which I planted one year....they only produce baby strawberries and the squirrels, chipmunks, and rabbits eat them before I can get them....but I guess those are good at spreading as well. </div><div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"><a _mce_href="http://reesimplelife.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/img_5226.jpg" href="http://reesimplelife.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/img_5226.jpg" style="color: #0066cc; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5;"></a><a _mce_href="http://reesimplelife.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/img_5230.jpg" href="http://reesimplelife.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/img_5230.jpg" style="color: #0066cc; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5;"></a><a _mce_href="http://reesimplelife.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/img_5234.jpg" href="http://reesimplelife.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/img_5234.jpg" style="color: #0066cc; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5;"><img _mce_src="http://reesimplelife.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/img_5234.jpg?w=300" alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-386" height="200" src="http://reesimplelife.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/img_5234.jpg?w=300" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; clear: both; color: #444444; display: block; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; height: auto; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px; max-width: 100%;" title="IMG_5234" width="300" /></a></div><div><br />

I got in 3 miles in under 44 minutes! WOO for me! I'm ready to start running 3 x 1 its taken me awhile to get there I know....but we all have our own paces mine is slow and steady. I can do 30 seconds planks at night, NOT after a workout that just hurts! I can bike 10 miles in 45 minutes with hills. 50 knee sit ups (I don't know what they are called) 10 "real" pushups, 50 lunges in a day</div><div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">I'm excited to say that my weights have increased 20 lbs at least per machine or barbell. I know this may bulk me up but let's just admit it I'm bulky and I like the fact that I can lift 50 lbs 18 times.</div><div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">Still eating healthy and trying new healthy foods. I went two weeks without a hamburger or pizza or "bad" food, that is really good for me. I normally eat some sort of sweet thing once a day, whether its a yogurt, or a piece of brownie depends on the day but its normally pretty small.</div><div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">I try not to think about my weight but when it won't budge I know I need to do something. And since I've been at 208 and the same if not higher measurements for two months now I'm going to up the anty. So down to 1200/1400 calories a day for a week and see how I feel. I normally eat between 1500-1800 so hopefully this will give my body the push it needs to get over the hump. I'm also going to add an additional 20 minute cardio in the afternoon to see if that keeps my heart rate up some. Hopefully at the end of the week, I'll be over the hump. I'm seriously going to be excited if I ever get under 200!</div><div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"><br style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5;" /></div><br />

You get something like this.<img _mce_src="http://reesimplelife.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/img_5136.jpg?w=150" alt="" class="aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-329" height="100" src="http://reesimplelife.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/img_5136.jpg?w=150" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; clear: both; color: #444444; display: block; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px;" title="IMG_5136" width="150" /></li>
<li style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5;">Then put in a bowl, cover, and set in a warm place until doubled about 1-3 hours.</li>
<li style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5;">Chill dough for about 20 minutes so it is easier to handle. Line your sheet pans with parchment paper. Oil up a wooden cutting board or the counter.</li>
<li style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5;">Divide your dough in half...then slapit down a few times to stretch it out....you want a rectangle of about 5" x 16" that is about 1'2" thick....slice in 1/2" x 5" strips<img _mce_src="http://reesimplelife.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/img_5142.jpg?w=150" alt="" class="aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-330" height="100" src="http://reesimplelife.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/img_5142.jpg?w=150" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; clear: both; color: #444444; display: block; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px;" title="IMG_5142" width="150" /></li>

Is that good english or what? Just a few things that I want to say about our marriage today.<br />
<br />
I still love him more and more everyday!<br />
<br />
I love all of the things we do together but here are a few of my favorites: build things together, cook together, plan together, discipline the children together, go to dinner together, go for walks (occasionally) together, play with the boys together, travel together, and watch movies together (my favorite I love snuggling on the couch).<br />
<br />
Things I love about Philip: the way he talks all engineery (so confusing but so cute), the way he fixes anything, how he analyzes for about two seconds and then jumps in, the way he plays with the boys, how he takes time out for the boys and me even when we are in a hurry, his laugh, his weird jokes, ok that's few don't want to bore you all.<br />
<br />
He irritates me, frustrates me, fights with me, loves me, shows me affection, appreciates me just as I am, shows me how much he cares, and spends as much time as he can with me and the boys.<br />
<br />
God has blessed me with a wonderful, God loving husband and father and I thank God and Philip for it everyday.<br />
<br />
<br />

Ok so I've already seen it, my husband took me because he knows how much I love these movies. Have I mentioned how much I love him? BUT I am still excited to see it again and again and again. Too bad I have boys, boys who like cars and trucks and dirt and not girls being silly in love. Oh well, I'll make them watch it anyways, good practice for later in life! hahaha</div><div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">Anyways another at home workout day for me, Cooper is still a little sick and Enzo seems to need some extra discipline for whatever reason. I just have to keep remembering that this is life, not a race.

But I was wondering what you all thought of solar panels. If you have any, if anyone you know has them? If yes, then what do you think, is it a good choice, what kind of maintenance, who did you buy from, does it help a lot with the bills? </b><br />
We currently have a waste oil heater (who I lovingly call Luda, because she is loud and saves us a lot of mula) in our house for the winter and it really really cuts down on our gas bill....$200 a month in the winter and overall brings down the price for the whole year about $1200 for the whole year, that's a lot of mula. I don't think this is the best choice for everyone because 1. it is loud! 2. it requires waste oil 3. it can be smelly occasionally, normally when first starting it up for the year 4. it does require maintenance, that my husband does for us. Soo it is a good choice for us because we have access to all of these things, and the noise is definitely worth it.<br />
<br />
Now solar panels, seem easier and less of a hassle. But there is the cost and I'm sure there is other things, I don't know about. So Let me know what you think. or if you are considering solar panels as well?Mariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10112550994405894514noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7498040370596121583.post-75660477465742727192011-03-17T10:47:00.000-07:002011-03-17T10:47:13.840-07:00My favorite recipe so far!<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 12px; font: normal normal normal 13px/19px Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; max-width: 640px; padding-bottom: 0.6em; padding-left: 0.6em; padding-right: 0.6em; padding-top: 0.6em;"><div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">I know we all those smells that remind us of home. Those tastes that bring back a moment, a flavor that brings back a loved one. I have so many dishes that do this. But the one that has the most memories is chimichurri (cilli(a name I gave it as a kid, when I couldn't say cilantro) beef. How many times did we make this as kids? Oh you didn't, sorry my family is from San Antonio and we try to pretend like we are mexican except we don't speak spanish at all. hmmm.... Anyways I remember making big bunches of this for holidays, running around the grill as it cooked, grabbing a burrito full of it and running out the door while my mother screamed at me. Oh yeah, good memories people. It's probably why this is my favorite recipe so far! I can only hope that my boys will make this and remember all the great times we had together as well. </div><div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"><strong style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.5;">Chimichurri (cilli) Beef</strong></div><ul style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; list-style-type: square; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 1.5em; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><li style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5;">1 2lb piece of beef flank steak</li>

I think about two weeks! A veeerrry long two weeks for me! Let me catch you up!</div><div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">First we drove up to Tarrytown, NY where the hubbos Dad is from which is the most adorable town ever. I totally recommend going there. But this was not a pleasure trip we had to put Grandma to rest! <strong style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.5;">She looked so peaceful, I'm so happy she is not in pain anymore and gets to be with her Savior! </strong>I'm not hoping for death or anything but I can't wait for the day to be with my Savior as well. We got to meet lots of family members, and friends of Grandma which was wonderful. We all just sat around, ate, and talked. Grandma would of loved it.We were there about 3 days plus two travel days. Yes two travel days, it is a 15 hour drive, that we did non-stop! Thankfully Philip's parents went with us this time, so it was pretty easy. But we have done it ourselves before and its really not that awful. But I love driving.</div><div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"><strong style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.5;">Then we drove back to GA for a quick, 3 day, visit with my step-brother, Adam.</strong>He came down from Ohio on his vacation to spend some time with us. He is so sweet! We had a great time, exploring Atlanta. Have I ever mentioned how much I love Fernbank Museum here? Oh it is so cool, and hardly ever crowded, and fairly cheap, plus they are putting in a new kid's area that I can't wait to see. We did a few other things in Atlanta but mostly just relaxed and enjoyed the company.</div><div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"><strong style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.5;">The day after Adam left, we decided to head up to Dayton, OH as an unplanned trip.</strong> The hubbos was going up to Detroit for work, so instead of flying he just drove us up to Dayton, dropped us off and went on his merry little way. I had everything packed, the house was still clean from us being out most days. It just all kinda worked out. Thankfully, we have a wonderful family here that watched our dog for us or we would be screwed on these kinda last minute trips.</div><div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"><strong style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.5;">Another plus to the ohio trip was that we were able to bring my Dad's new car up with us, that we have been working on.Then we got to fly back.</strong> I use to fly about every 6 months, but I haven't flown since Enzo was 6 weeks old. That's 3 years, not on a plane, I have missed you planes. If I had better eyesight, I would of been a pilot in a minute. Anyways, we were all super excited, especially Enzo. Luckily it was a beautiful day and we could see out for miles, we could even see our church, and the general area of our house. Enzo loved it, and no one got sick. Overall, it was a great trip to Ohio.</div><div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"><strong style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.5;">Have I mentioned how great of travelers my boys are? They are the best. </strong>We had one bout of sickness on the way to NY, (don't put your kids in backseat of a van,they have never been in, on a long trip), and we only had to whip out the DVD player once in all this traveling. That's right one movie, 2 hours, In 44 hours of traveling, mostly driving. They really are the best little travelers.

He was nice and gave me a few helpful hints. He said my running style was good, the fast and then slow supposedly helps you burn off body fat! YEAH! Now why are you still there you pesky body fat. I guess my metabolism just hadn't kicked in quite yet. Let me tell you it certainly has now. I could literally eat all day long. Of course all my meals are little and healthy but I am quite tired of feeding myself.</span></span></div><div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"><span _mce_style="font-size: medium;" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1.5;"><span _mce_style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;"><strong style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.5;">He also said my ideal weight because of my muscle mass and body shape is 150-160.</strong> WOW!

You should of seen the look on his face. Pure bewilderment. (I should of told him I thought I already looked pretty good) I got the whole goals are good to have, something to work towards speech. I know they are its just weight goals are not for me. I get consumed by it, if I eat one bad thing, I have failed. If I didn't work out everyday that week, I failed.<strong style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.5;"> I just want to work towards being healthier.</strong> He was still totally lost.

I bought them about 3 months ago and they did not even come close to fitting. But now they are kinda loose. YEAH for me! Sorry about the awful picture! I have been trying but photography seems to not be my forte! But I will keep trying!<br />

I just felt like doing it. That's my only excuse. Hopefully, I can figure out how to put blogspot on there, like I have seen other wordpress bloggers do. Any ideas on how to do this? I will still be posting recipes here though, probably no pictures though. My computer takes forever to get pictures on here for some reason. Which is the main reason I moved to wordpress. Anyways check it out. and let me know what you think. <a href="http://reesimplelife.wordpress.com/">http://reesimplelife.wordpress.com/</a><br />

Enjoy your day everyone!Mariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10112550994405894514noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7498040370596121583.post-29865815977643988802011-02-17T10:25:00.000-08:002011-02-17T10:25:35.136-08:00Running and footwear suggestions?I'm just giving you all a quicky to day. Between the gym, heading to the post office, and hardware store, then laundry, gardening, and car cleaning, I just have no time. But wanted to say hello. <div><br />
</div><div>We had eggplant parm for dinner last night. mmm...I forgot to snap a picture but going to make a batch with zucchini later this week (since I had lots of leftovers) so you will be getting that. </div><div><br />
</div><div>I jog/walk 4 miles today in 50 minutes! YEAH for me! But my feet are hurting, does anyone suggest some sock or foot cushions or anything to help this? I already have some saucony hurricane's! And no I did not spend $150 I got the 10s when the 11s were coming in. So I got them for about 70! Another YEAH for me! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.stabilityrunningshoes.info/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/stability-running-shoes-Saucony-Progrid-Hurricane-12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.stabilityrunningshoes.info/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/stability-running-shoes-Saucony-Progrid-Hurricane-12.jpg" /></a></div><div><br />
</div><div>I also booked an appointment with a trainer, (you get a free one when you join and I have yet to use it). I'm excited/scared. I don't know why, but for some reason I just feel like the trainer is going to judge me. Anyways, I made the appointment for next Wednesday! Wish me luck! </div><div><br />
</div><div>I love this picture! Doesn't it make you wanna laugh? </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRo_aMFE5ztAZ-m3fBB0cR39QyulFvE8plSGatJ9syyZhTSxZWe5ybwdza6wCdJtnZ_ukmtoRP0ZbnORB7U3jO5piO5tArnwfF3o-NQycr5TaHwPZ9pR3HNbajfwlYfKEE0IfVu2_KXN0/s1600/IMG_3040.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRo_aMFE5ztAZ-m3fBB0cR39QyulFvE8plSGatJ9syyZhTSxZWe5ybwdza6wCdJtnZ_ukmtoRP0ZbnORB7U3jO5piO5tArnwfF3o-NQycr5TaHwPZ9pR3HNbajfwlYfKEE0IfVu2_KXN0/s320/IMG_3040.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div><br />
