DISQUS

You are adorable. That's all. :-)

LOL!! I love your fantasy version, Randy. That's my fantasy of the perfect spin class. :-)

Spin is the hardest endurance training exercise that I've ever done. I run up to 8 mph during my sprint interval training on the treadmill 3 days per week. So before I took my first spin class, I thought I was an unstoppable force of nature. Not so much. I only made it through 25 minutes of my first spin class and had to lie on one of the benches in the ladies' locker room for about 20 minutes afterward. Quite embarrassing. You impress me, once again.

What a beautiful picture, Randy! I definitely see family resemblance.

Ingenious. Great idea to videotape this! This is SO relatable. You are so much fun!!

What did you use to keep your video camera stationary while in the car, and on the elliptical machine?

Great list, Randy! This is so fun! Okay here goes, in no particular order:

1) A husband who has stayed by my side for going on 9 years, despite the fact that I do NOT deserve him.

2) Two adorable children who make my heart melt just at the sight of them.

3) Two parents who have supported me with love, encouragement and, yes, money throughout my entire life.

4) A job that pays enough for me to support my husband and kids while my husband is in law school full time.

5) A trip to Orlando, Florida, my favorite place on Earth, with the best weather anyone could ask for.

6) Javier Bardem :-)

7) Sharp intelligence to make-up for my lack of discipline (thank you Lord)

8) Friends who have loved me despite my inability to be a good friend in return.

9) Social networking applications which allow us to meet and develop great friendships with amazing people like Randy.

10) Most importantly, for the God of wonders beyond our galaxy who has given the greatest gift to all that will accept him - eternal life, and who makes all of the above 9 things even possible.

Invite please. :-)

You're doing great, Randy!! And seriously, it is the muscle that causes the weight gain.

Beginning last October, my life got extremely stressful and this continued all the way through the beginning of the year. Before then, I had been exercising a few times per week. During my semi-depression, I stopped doing that, AND I stopped eating because I was a semi-depressed. I lost about 15 lbs, unintentionally.

So about a month ago I started back exercising regularly again. I was anxious to start back building some muscle tone because losing all that weight without exercise months ago made me appear a little flabby. After the first week and a half of exercise EVERYDAY, drinking lots of water and eating healthy foods, I GAINED 2 lbs!! During my seething rage, it was explained to me that during the process of building muscles in the beginning the muscles hold a lot of water. After another week of exercising the same way, I had lost about 3 1/2 lbs!!

Now I'm back down to the weight I was after losing so much, but I have more muscle than fat at this point so it makes sense to me. Keep up the great work, Randy!

Beautiful. This is what I imagine when I think of what heaven may look like. I've only flown twice in my life, and the first time I flew was a VERY cloudy day. I had never in my life thought about what it looks like when an airplane breaks through the clouds and my breath was taken away. Great pic!

WOW, Randy, you really don't look anywhere near the ballpark of 40. Must be good genes! Otherwise, please share your secrets!

Hey there, Randy! I am COMPLETELY obsessed with Disney World. I cannot wait to see your pics!! Glad you had a great time, and I'm loving the new blog design!
