Mission: Catching up…

26 Feb 2010 by MelissasMission

I am too tired this evening to write about everything that is going on in much detail….

Things have been moving and spinning and I have neglected to write it down to share…

Things, like….

I am moving in 2 weeks to Columbus for a sweet new job….

Leaving a 4.5 yr career in Lima that is so bittersweet and wrapped in a weird transition…

How stoked I am to be encountering the Lord on a new level…

How my last “silly” blog was misinterpreted and how it helped me be accountable to taking the time to write with clear defined ideas instead of being a lazy writer and hope everyone assuredly knows my heart….

The test of faith, restoration, listening to the Lord, how close I am with the Lord and how strong/bold I am feeling…

My dealings with a stirring in my spirit to combat the Prosperity Gospel and fight for Truth–praying for those who hold idols of success that is un-biblical….

My battle with getting back in to shape to run some races and frustrations of losing weight… the healthy way…

My deliverance of self hatred and an eating disorder that has held me in bondage for more than 8 years-God is so good, I am His Beloved…

And so much more….be looking out for more as I share this new season of my life with you and share the struggles that I have overcome by the eternal grace of God!!

God Bless you tonight and always!!

XoXo

Mission: Find the Top 9 Dumbest Facebook Groups Ever Created

15 Feb 2010 by MelissasMission

Ahh!!!

I can not sleep.
Too much mountain dew, late sunday nap and a late workout. A combo for no sleepy.

Instead of counting sheep…I decided to countdown the dumbest and craziest facebook groups that my facebook friends have joined recently.

DISCLAIMER: If you belong to these groups, this by no means is a reflection of how I feel about you. I still love you. You are great…these groups however are ridiculous/hilarious/frightening.

Proving anyone can market anything and rally a herd of of any follower you want to create.

9. Join to get a “That’s What She Said” Button! – TAKES 30 SECONDS Group

Seriously people, is this really necessary? 245k people think that this group is rather cool. I on the other hand, think that adding more sexual innuendo to our daily life is obnoxious. Boo for this group & idea.

8. CHANGE FACEBOOK BACK TO NORMAL!! Group

Seriously people….all 2 million of you. Do you think by joining this group that somehow Facebook would magically revert thousands of dollars on programming upgrades just because you joined this group? Sorry, life is about change and progression. Embrace it and stop joining groups just to complain about things that will never happen.

7. If your name starts with A, B, C, D, E, J, K, L, M, S, T then you’re cool!!

Goodness. If my coolness factor was completely based upon the group I belonged to and worse yet, the letter my name starts with I would be so depressed.

Those 947k people are cool. Thankfully I have Jesus and my name begins with and M so I am definitely in the clear.

6. Ann Curry is Hot!

Are you kidding me facebook world? Seriously now….Meridith is much hotter. jk

5. I hate pretending I like a present when I actually hate it

Listen here you ungrateful jacks. You know what I am getting you for your next gift? Yep you guessed it, your very own Facebook group called, “I am a spoiled brat.”

4. 1,000,000 Members By 10/10/10!!!

What the crap for? I guess it doesn’t matter because 734k people don;t care “why” either. I sure would like to add 1 million people to my companies list by 10/10 I guess I should just be more blunt about it.

3. People Against Cookie Monster Eating Vegetables

I agree. Veggie Monster just doesn’t have that great of an appeal!

2. aura will name her baby Megatron if 100,000 people join this group!

Congratulations! 101,150 have helped another child live a life of getting beat up at school. I am so sorry baby Megatron.

1. I read the group name, I laugh, I join, I never look at it again.

I rest my case…and so does .5 million people.

Facbook groups are entertaining to say the least.

But if positioned really well…could be the fastest, free-est (is that a word?) way to build your list!!!

What is the most ridiculous facebook group you have seen and how many members do they have?

Honorable mentions: all for obvious reasons

POOP Group!!

insomnia group

CAN THIS PICKLE GET MORE ADDS THAN SNOOKI?

If Heidi Montag can sing, so can William Hung

I Have Also Slept With Tiger Woods

Mission: Check out the new Skechers Shape Up Shoes…

13 Feb 2010 by MelissasMission

Here there!

I hope your new years resolutions are still going strong!

Sometimes our workout plans need a little boost after we have been at it for awhile….

I myself am doing great with my Turbo Boxing Class and the training I am doing for the Triple Crown Race Series but I want faster results!!

messing around before boxing!

I definitely want to trim and tone my legs, butt & thighs so I decided to kick my workout plan up a notch…

…by adding the ridiculously marketed new work out shoes by Skechers, the Shape-Up Shoes.

(I always want to spell it “sketchers”…..does anyone else? anyways…)

I am sure you have seen them everywhere…superbowl commercials, in every magazine and all over the internet… (even an ad over there on my blog!)

So I said, “Hey! Why not?..I’ll try anything, well almost anything:) ”

I was slightly skeptical at first, as a fitness expert I said “get on a treadmill & do some cardio if you want to lose weight…what will a shoe do to help you lose weight?”

BUT..I am curious by nature….

So I ordered them online, (got $10 off whoo whoo)…got them in the mail today…and

As soon as I put them on, I could tell you that I am sold!

I could feel a deep stretch in my calves & butt..and I was engaging major muscle groups just walking around!

They are so soft and I feel like I am walking sand! If only stilettos were this comfy!

MY BIG SECRET: My posture is terrible!!!

…just call me the hunchback of notre dame…

(i blame it on my huge gravitational problem most women call breasts…gah! they cause so much pain to my lower back and shoulders….and now you know more about me than you should… ..moving on…)

As soon as I put them on —-no hype— I seriously had all the pain go away in my lower back! There was less pressure on my knees and I was standing straight! I am stoked to see what else they can do!

The only negative thing, that I am already insecure of, is my big ol’feet!

I feel like Ronald Mc Donald most days.

They may make my size 9.5 feet look a lot bigger than they already are…

but I don’t care if it makes my back feel better and help my posture than I am ready to see what they can do!!

I will blog about them and let you know what kind of results I’m getting.

Since they are not to be used for high impact I will not be running in them, using them in bootcamp or kickboxing.

I will definitely be using them during my Turbo Boxing Class and the days I crosstrain and lift– I will keep you updated just in case you wanted the scoop about these shoes, too!!

If these shoes gets rid of my butt and cankles….yes I said cankles… than I will start a Cankle & Skecher Foundation or something….or at least a support group…ha!
