Lisa! Congrats on your new job! You’re going to do great. You already have a great framework- a positive attitude. It’s difficult sometimes to embrace change, but I think this is going to be a great step for your career as well as your home life. Sending love and well wishes!

You look awesome!! Keep up the great work! You are inspiring me to get back into it. I’m still 23lbs in the positive postpartum. Ugh. As soon as my hip/back pain gets better I’m going to tackle it!

Comment on The Swimsuit Challenge by Sharon

Sharon — Sun, 24 Apr 2011 01:13:43 +0000

I’m looking forward to the 5K! I just hope I can make it. It’s been hard to exercise lately with two, and I’m feeling out of shape!! I checked the blog, and I don’t see any info on how to sign up, what it costs, or where it’ll be located. Is there another website with more info? Looking forward to it! Oh, and you SO have this challenge. You’ve already challenged yourself so much and accomplished a lot. You’re ahead of the game! =)

Hey there Paul! I’m so glad you stopped by! Thanks for sharing that blog with me. I just took a look at it and it’s very inspirational. I’m going to have to add it to my reader so I can get the updates. I’ve got to catch up on your blog as well. I would love to be car-free someday!

Hi Lisa,

I miss your podcast and dropped in to see how you were doing. An internet acquaintance of mine, Scott Cutshall, lost 330.8 pounds by riding his bike. His website is here: http://istanbultea.typepad.com/

You have to dig pretty far back to get to his weight loss story. His weight got up to over 500 pounds, and he knew he had to do something, or he would miss out on his life. He started bicycling, though it was painful and embarrassing. Now, he bikes a lot more than I do. (And I can stand to lose a few pounds too. My weight has been creeping up, in spite of our carfree lifestyle).

I hope you are both doing well. I keep checking iTunes to see if any podcasts have downloaded from you. I hope you update us out there in podland at some point.

Comment on Weight Loss Recap: Month 3 (and a Birthday Dress) by Sharon

Sharon — Fri, 08 Apr 2011 02:23:26 +0000

You look great Lisa!! I really think you’re going to love your gym membership. I love mine and I think it’s so much easier when you have options when you work out. Videos and outdoor activities are great, but there’s nothing like jumping on a machine with some good music and getting your heart rate up. I’m anxious to do it myself! I love that dress. My most favorite thing to do is to reward myself with a new outfit when I loose weight. Nothing beats the satisfaction of getting down another size! Keep it up Lisa! You’re doing SO well!

Um, how is it that you and I have never met and yet you know me so well? lol You are right! I do tend to do things in an all-or-nothing manner. I do want to run a 5k though. I did it before, about 6 years ago, and it was the best feeling. It’s a good goal for me.

Hey stranger! Thought I would pop in and see how you guys are doing. 16lbs. Wow. If I had started at the same time as you maybe I would be down 16 lbs too. NOT! Time for me to get my butt in gear.

Now, just a thought. I may have mentioned this before but I totally see this in you because I have the same problem, the inability to do something without MAKING IT MY LIFE’S WORK! Now don’t get upset but…*(remember I do this too!!!) you can’t just follow Dave Ramsey, you have to do a podcast and lead FPU at your church, can’t just run for fitness but have to run a marathon, etc. I do the same and then end up on total burnout! Said with hugs {{{}}}.

Comment on How to Have Style by Sharon

Sharon — Tue, 05 Apr 2011 12:51:03 +0000

You and me have such similar styles! I love all of these. I really love the bathing suits and tops especially. I may do an inspiration page myself. That could give me some motivation to get off these extra pounds!

Sharon — Tue, 05 Apr 2011 12:45:27 +0000

Ok, I totally have some catching uo to do on your blog. You should TOTALLY do the 5k. Were you thinking of doing the 5k in Atlanta? If so, I’d totally do it with you! I’m expecting my hip to get back to normal soon. Congrats on 16 lbs!! Holy weightloss, that’s awesome Lisa!!

Comment on Book Review: Columbine by Dave Cullen

Dave Cullen — Fri, 04 Mar 2011 00:25:53 +0000

Lisa, what a thoughtful review of my book. Thank you for that–and for posting the video. That seems to be the best way for people to gauge whether the book is right for them.

I’m glad you found it moving, and a quick read. I really wanted to make it an engrossing read, and wasn’t sure whether I could pull that off.

I was thinking that when Spence started working, it would be a real challenge to keep up. You remind me so much of myself… I can’t just go the event etc. I have to organize it. I always take on way too much and ultimately I am the one that suffers. The Peter Principle is very applicable here – everyone rises to their own level of incompetence. The other analogy that fits is the boiling frog (sounds gross but if you haven’t heard this story before check it here

So don’t you forget about me, and I won’t forget about you!

I download your podcasts weekly and find them inspirational and fun. I am sorry you are stopping but it sounds like the right thing to do for yourself and that is what is most important. I have only listened through June of last year so thankfully I can still hear many more weeks of you both! I can pretend in my head that you are still doing them Best of luck to you both.

Dear Lisa and Spencer,
I was very sad to hear about your Rebound Podcast but certainly understand that you need to put your health and family first. I am so proud of you and what you have accomplished since I began listening to your podcast well over a year ago. The truth and inspiration in your podcasts has been very beneficial to your listeners. I always loved to tune into your podcast because you had this electricity about you that was infectious.
God has a purpose for you both and He is leading you down that path.
Just remember that your Rebound Podcast listeners and FB/Twitter Fans will be here to support you and your family on your decision to stop recording the podcast indefinitely. I hope once you find balance in your life both emotional, physically and financially that you follow through on your ‘Book’. I truly believe this will be a very good tool for others to read and use on their journey in life.
I will continue to follow you on FB/Twitter and your Blog and look forward to all your accomplishments that are yet to come. I will be cheering you on from afar.
May God bless you and your family and give you peace.
Blessings – Jackie
