Finished.

We finished all of Lost!!!!! Finally! What an ending! =D

We think that maybe everything that happened on the island actually happened, and the "alternate reality" thing where they didn't know each other at first was after what had happened on the island, when they were actually dead. I've heard people say that they died in the plane crash though and the island never happened. What do you  think?

We've got a ton of stuff going on right now.....a group from our home church in the States arrives tomorrow, and another, from a different church, arrives on the 19th, which just so happens to be the day that the first group leaves. Basically, we won't sleep for two weeks. But it'll be fun!!!

Since one of the groups will be here on my sister's birthday (the 23rd), we're doing a little something before and after. Her party will be after her birthday, but today I'm gonna bake up a little somethin' somethin' for her. For her party, I have another, bigger somethin' somethin' planned. Her favorite cake is red velvet, and I'm going to attempt one for her!! =D What's your favorite cake?

As for my weight gain plan, it's still going pretty slow....haven't weighed myself yet, but if I gained anything, it wasn't much. I'm starting to get really upset, which makes it even harder to stay on track. Any motivational quotes or mantras?

I've noticed that a lot of ya'll are giving something up for Lent. I've decided that since the point of the Lent season is to grow closer to God and to better understand Jesus' sacrifice, then I'm going to set aside some time each and every day to thoroughly study the Bible and pray. I mean, I read the Bible and pray, but I want to do more!

I've got an awesome workout planned for today! Kickboxing and random cardio vid , here I come! I had better be off....hope ya'll have a great day!

  1. I think that they all died in the plane crash...but some went on to the other side while the island was "limbo" I really think that jack laying in the grass in the very end was him accepting his fate and going to the other side.

    mantra - "You CAN do this. You ARE strong enough. It's not an option to quit."—

  2. huh. I totally see your point, too. That's one of my favorite things about Lost, though, they let you draw your own conclusions. =D

    Great mantra! Thanks!

  7. I loved the ending of Lost. I know a lot of people were disappointed by it. That is so sweet that you are baking it up for your sister! I'm not a cake person...I prefer frozen yogurt and pudding to cake.

  12. Well...on the weight thing. I don't know that I have a quote, but I do know that having it upset you won't get you any closer to your goal...it will just add stress to your body and mind!
    Staying positive and looking at your attempts as "information" to take into account when you take future action :)

    Gaining weight is an interesting task---because you want to do it in a healthy way. Building muscle and adding lots of healthy fats and proteins sound like the healthiest way to me. But I think you and your doctor probably know best! Good luck---I'm rooting for you :)

  13. I've never seen lost! I know a lot of people who were really into it though. I wanted to watch, but I don't like starting shows half way through.
    I love carrot cake and chocolate cake with either vanilla or chocolate icing, it doesn't matter!
    My motivation was always thinking about how I will feel when I finally achieve the results. That's how I go about everything really. You will feel strong, confident, and healthy! It's so worth the effort that you have to put into gaining weight!
