New Hope and Energy for Spring
Last night I went to a Spring Fashion show at church called Unfading Beauty! The front cover of the program said, "When we live, dress, speak and act in a way that honors God, His Unfading Beauty resounds from us so loudly that it far outshines the superficial beauty of this world." I am glad that we are on this Mission of Fitness together, because I know that this is honoring to God. I love the Spring and have renewed hope for natural and regular exercise. It is so fun to take long walks in the Spring air and watch for the flowers to pop up and see the constant change in the scenery around us. Oh the wonder and beauty of Spring! Through the winter I have exercised enough to maintain my weight and look better, because of the toning etc. I know with the increased activity of Spring I will now shed some pounds - a time of metamorphosis and now I have the tools to keep the weight off once I shed it. We are on a wonderful mission together and I am so pleased that we are walking the journey together! So glad to call all of you FAMILY! Anita

Enjoying Spring Break in Chicago
Hi: I have been enjoying having some extra time for exercise & wellness this week. Our
students are on Spring Break this week, so I took a vacation day Monday which included
go to the fitness center & have a Spa day with 3 friends from our "Mystery Book Club". The
pedicure and massage were a fun treat. I finished my grading for the Winter Trimester today---Yeah!
Jim & I have been enjoying longer walks & the peeking out of spring flowers. We had several wonderful worship experiences during Holy Week & hosted Evelyn & Tom for Easter dinner.
Kathy & Sara--glad you were able to spend some family time together during the Easter holiday weekend. Anita--I hope you had a blessed Easter too! We're looking forward to Marlene's visit to Chicago April 17-20.
Love,
MJH

"On Track Again"
Hi All:
We had a good visit with Sara over the Easter Holiday. Did not do alot of exercise (sitting in the car riding and driving) and ate Great food but to much!!!! Oh well, I am back in my element and back in my routine. I am walking to and from work today as our van is in the shop (long story) I am again doing Zumba and teaching an after school soccer class on Thursdays. I think I will try and walk to work more often as the weather inproves. I am picking up more morning hours in the school office as my friend Sarah the secretary at Franklin has technology training on some new computer programs. We also have kindergarten orientation that I will help with. We have several snow days to make up so our last day is June 9th (half day). I hope all is going well for each of you. I will share a quote from my Weight Watchers Magazine:
"BELIEVING THAT I WILL CONQUER MY EMOTIONAL EATING. EVERY POUND I LOSE MAKES ME MORE AND MORE CONFIDENT THAT I HAVE THE STRENGTH TO FIND NEW WAYS TO COPE."
Love to All,
KRJ

Back in the groove in Wausau
Hi All:
Sorry it has been so long since my last post. We had a wonderful and relaxing vacation in Mexico. The weather was fantastic - in the mid 80's all week and sunny. We enjoyed our "couple" time very much. Wayne and I ran and walked while on vacation. We also ate and drank more than usual, but are back to our routine again. Saturday we attend a "Cruise Party" which was great fun. We danced alot and enjoyed great conversation with friends. We got home about 1:00 a.m. The work weeks for both Wayne & I stay busy. I work in a have a very challenging classroom this year, so keeps me on my toes. We leave tomorrow for Warrensburg to visit with Sara. It will be fun to have family time before she is off to Portland. I hope all are doing well and we send our Easter Blessing to each of you.
Love,
KRJ

More Birthday Greetings from NE!
Happy Birthday Jim! Hope your steak tasted great tonight! I had a great Spring Break! I did lots of shopping and found some great buys! Better yet I had some great outings with friends and with Brandon. I did get in good exercise! My kickboxing DVD is a challenge for me. I cannot do the whole DVD yet, but will work up my endurance until I can. This week is very busy at work and next week will be too. I get Good Friday off and then go back to a plan day on the Monday after Easter. I know this school quarter will go by fast too! Speaking of Easter and Easter candy - I am looking forward to malted milk ball Easter eggs. I don't think they are too high in calories. Well - I hope that you are enjoying some delicious birthday dessert tonight Jim! Love to all, Anita

Birthday greetings from NE
Happy Birthday Wayne! Hope you have a fantastic time in Mexico! Yeah-my Spring Break just started. I am getting together with friends for breakfast this morning. We are supposed to have rain starting tonight and lasting through Tues. That should make the yard green up and the Spring flowers appear. I maintained my weight this week, but only walked for exercise. I know that this week will be full of exercise. I plan on getting in some Mall walking alias shopping today. Brandon had the flu on Mon. for his first official day of his break, but bounced back wonderfully on Tues. I will be excited to hear about his adventures in Utah when he returns tomorrow night! Wayne with all of your energy you are a Spring Chicken and each year brings you more friends and more love! Blessings! Anita

Excited for Vacation and March Madness
Hi All:
The weather is variable here from day to day. Today I walked to work and back it was brisk and refreshing. I went to Zumba last night and have been walking and exercising on a daily basis. I am on my own as my walking partner Sarah left tonight for Atlanta to visit her son. I will get up early and go walking so I can watch Blair Taylor and Marquette play basketball in the am and Wisconsin in the evening. I am packing my clothing for vacation ( I have to many clothes) but don't tell my husband. The love of my life will be 55 on Saturday so we shall celebrate with dinner in Madison before we drop off Ben. Ben and Sara have been very busy with papers. But I think Ben enjoyed just being home and getting "real food" for a change. Sara had alot going on, but sounded like she accomplished many things also. I am proud of them both for making good choices. We will be off to sunny Los Cabos so this will be my last blog for a week or so. The temperature has been in the 80's there so I can definately handle that. Everyone have a great weekend and enjoy the warmer weather. Talk to you soon.
Love,
KRJ
