Perfectly Practical #163 - 10 Commandment Mnemonic

Summer in the South is the time for weddings, camps, and of course, Vacation Bible Schools!

Our church has hired an intern to work with our youth this summer and she taught Diva and I her parlor trick, um, I mean, serious mnemonic device to remember the Ten Commandments.

All you church volunteers take note so that you can have those kiddos reciting God's Top Ten in order by the end of VBS.  :)



This mnemonic Works for Me!

Madly in Love

I never thought I would like texting.  In fact, it's only been in the last year and a half or so that we even had texting as part of our phone plans.

But it's when I get a text from Engineer out of the blue that simply says "143"* that I feel that this texting thing is a great platform for communication.

It's just one more way for him to tell me he loves me.  

Thank you Engineer for your surprise text this morning.  It is always good to be reminded.

1-4-3 EM!

*Growing up, my family would put 1-4-3 on lunchbox notes, cards, etc. as code for "I love you" with each number representing the amount of letters in each word.  We have carried this on in our little family.  At the end of each Madly in Love post, you'll see 1-4-3 and either EM or DM to let Engineer or Diva Moppins know that I love them.

Menu Plan Week 25

*I was given a three month subscription to eMeals from US Family Bloggers to review.  All opinions and lack of cooking this week are my own.  This post may contain affiliate links.

We have had a lovely relaxed week.

Even though Diva had swimming, piano, and voice lessons during the week, we still managed to keep the majority of our days free to do nothing whatever we liked.

This week will be the total opposite in that we will be running from pillar to post and having dinner with friends most nights which will be lovely.

Since I won't be cooking much this week, I thought I might go ahead and review the eMeals Clean Eating crockpot menus that I've been using the past couple of weeks.



I do like having the menu and grocery list all planned out for me but there is no flexibility if your family doesn't like one of the dishes.

Like I said, this one is the clean eating crockpot menu which means there are no processed foods.

So far, we are at about 80% success with these recipes.  Sometimes, it's the side dishes that are the star of the meal and the crockpot main dish is the so-so supporting cast.

Crockpot meals still take some amount of prep time; you can't necessarily dump and run.  Consider yourself warned.

The cooking time doesn't always reflect how long you will be actively cooking side dishes as well as the main course.  It's imperative that you read all the way through the menu every day so that you don't end up not cooking your rice in time for dinner (ask me how I know...)

Overall, I like the easiness of having the thought done for me and the recipes are not at all hard to follow.

As a suggestion, maybe eMeals could have the option to choose seven out of ten options, sort of a mix and match your own menu plan.

And now here is our no-cook menu plan for the week:

Sunday - Out to Eat for Father's Day
Monday - Dinner w/Friends
Tuesday - Dinner w/Friends
Wednesday- Dinner w/Friends
Thursday - Dinner w/Friends
Friday - Date Night
Saturday - Leftovers

This is part of Menu Plan Monday.

Secret Outlast Clear Gel #spon

*I was sent a sample of Secret Outlast gel deodorant by Influenster to review.  All opinions and stinkiness are my own.

Secret is my deodorant of choice.  Always has been.

Oh, I know all about the threat of losing my faculties that aluminum zirconium poses.
But I tell you what, as long as my faculties are intact, I need to not smell like the backend of a warthog.
And Secret is one of two deodorants EVER that have been able to keep me smelling fresh and fine.

TMI.
Moving on...

Usually I'm not a fan of gel deodorants because my body chemistry makes them smell funny but this one seemed to be just fine.  No weird chemical reaction stench, which can only be a good thing.

The best aspect of a gel though, is that you don't have to worry about doing the "Deo Dance."

You know what I'm talking about.  All the wriggling and writhing that you do so that you don't get white marks from your underarms on your clothes.

Here's a video showing exactly what I mean and in the spirit of TMI, I am a Tango Tangle kinda gal myself.

12 Inches With Any 12 Workouts w/Ryan Cowboy Ehmann #spon

* I was given a free 30 day trial period of 12" in 12 Workouts in order to review it.  All opinions and complete lack of self-control are my own.

We are avid Shark Tank fans and were watching the episode that Cowboy Ryan introduced his fitness program on national TV.

So you can imagine how excited I was to be able to try out the program.

Before you begin, you really need a heart rate monitor.  On his website, it is more economical to buy the program and his heart rate watch than to buy them separately.

I made the mistake of signing up before I bought the heart rate watch.  I missed several days of videos and was unable to watch them later.  But after an e-mail to them, it was all sorted out and I was able to see the videos in retrospect.

There is a daily assignment, which I like, and he adds a little something every day rather than overwhelm you with information at the beginning in hopes that you keep up.  I like the daily e-mails as well.

His energy is kind of cheesy but infectious and I actually looked forward to his e-mails every day.

I would have really liked some sample work-outs since he wants you to work out 45 minutes three times a week.

The whole premise is using the power of oxygen intake coupled with a targeted heart rate to maximize fat reduction and muscle building.

After a bumpy start with the technical difficulties, I started doing the program...kind of.
The kind of part has nothing to do with the program and everything to do with my lack of discipline.

After the first week though, I started fitting into my clothes better.  No joke.

That was a cool feeling and highly motivational for continuing on the program.

No weight was lost but that was to be expected.  He wants you to build muscle and shrink fat therefore losing inches is a much better indicator of how your body is changing rather than your weight (since muscle weighs more than fat.)

After two weeks I had lost almost 8" from all over my body.
I was sleeping better, feeling more alert during the day, and hungrier at meals times.

I like his foundational program and have stuck with a lot of the small changes in routine even after the 30 days were up.
