Something New...

I don't usually make new year resolutions, and so this year wasn't any different. But, after all the Christmas/New Year's parties and junk food galore, I decided to lose some weight as of last week.

Being married to a physician I am constantly reminded about the benefits of eating healthy and exercising regularly. Though my husband doesn't practice what he preaches he continues to lose weight, I haven't got a clue how! He lost weight when I removed dairy and fried foods from our meals that I put together at home, and low and behold I lost about 10 pounds. I somehow gained it back after carelessly eating out and not reading the labels.

Fast forward to today I gained about 15 lbs. My goal is to lost about 15 lbs - 20 lbs. I signed up for an online program that will last about 3 months. I hope to see results within that time... I do exercise regularly as of last month, now it's just to get the eating part of the lifestyle change down.

Week 2 of Sketchy Thursdays!

I am loving this weekly motivation! :) Can't wait to see what's coming tomorrow!

Escape to Aulani

Trying out my first Sketchy Thursday challenge!

The Motherland

It hits home to see images in Japan of all that's going on. My family lives in Okinawa, so I believe they are all okay.

Yes, the quake in Haiti and Chile broke my heart, but something about it being in Japan affects me more. We were actually planning a trip out there in October, but if things aren't cleared up by the time we need to book the flights, we won't be going.

For now, it's just prayers heading their way and donating to the Red Cross.

Tsunami Warning

And then some. The sirens going off once a hour... This will be a long night as the ETA is 3:07 a.m.

Cell phone charged - check.
iPad changed - in progress.
Wireless mobile router - in progress.
Non-perishable food - check.
Water - check.

Thankfully, our friends haven't moved to Japan just yet, they will be there next week. We have another friend in Japan is okay, and luckily our families live in Okinawa. Prayers still heading toward to Japan though... :( They are still having aftershocks.

Moving back to Hawaii has been very exciting a must say.

This whole earthquakes and whatnot, makes me wonder.... Is Jesus coming in my lifetime, cause signs sure are pointing that way....
