The following are several of my favorite “face” pics from our time in Hawaii. I’ll blog about the actual vacation soon, but for today, enjoy some face-time.
Any favorite pic?

Aloha from Hawaii!
Will and I send our "Aloha" to you and yours.

I was away speaking at camp and Elisabeth caught this picture of our daughter, Audrey.
Real story, she was eating peas fresh from Grandpa’s garden and Elisabeth saw a great picture opportunity.
I see it as a wonderful “What Am I Thinking” photo caption contest.
So, now it is up to you to come up with the right thought/title, etc. for this photo. I’ll post those who are “In the Running” in a day or so and then crown the winner (who will receive a 2010 YMV T-shirt).
Have fun, just remember, she is my daughter, so don’t make me angry! Ha.
What was she thinking?

Just quite simple… and to me, made me laugh out loud right away. Good job Frankie. A 2010 YMV t-shirt is yours for the keeping.
Even though I was out of town all last week speaking at a camp (the same camp that was my downfall three weeks ag0), I was able to be more disciplined and abel to work out.
My c0-speaker, Mike Penberthy, texted me on Sunday and said, “I’ve been working out since the last camp, any chance we can keep it going this next week?” Upon arrival we went to the fitness center we had seen about seven or eight minutes away from the camp. We negotiated a “one week” membership and we were set… now all we needed was the discipline to take advantage of our payment.
Workouts: I was able to work out a total of 5 times this last week, 5 rides (four on a machine) for a total of 48.5 miles.
Food/Carbs: Being at a camp makes it tough, however, I concentrated on fruits, vegetables and proteins. The few times I went out to eat (you can only take so much camp food), I did splurge more on the carbs, but overall, I felt good about the diet this last week.
Weight: I weighed in at about 219 late last night (I forgot to look this morning).
Excited to be home this week and see what it looks like to get several Lake Young’s Reservoir rides in (as I did last nigh… it was wonderful)!

Welcome to the new look for brianaaby.com! (still under construction over the weekend)
As I stated last week, I am a fan of change, therefore this may happen from time to time. What does the new look mean? Well, beside a makeover, it means some new content as well. The categories will expand a little bit as I am planning on implementing a few new ones. For instance, I am going to add a category for those of you serving in Youth Ministry. Sort of a Student Ministry editorial piece of sorts. One might see it as an opinion, whereas others may see it as a written advice section.
What stays?: Contests will still take place from time to time… in fact I’ll try to do a contest at least once every two weeks. I’ll keep posting stuff about my family. I’ll continue posting Youthmark related stuff, however, I’ll also do other Youthmark blogging here.
What goes?: Just the old picture.
What changes?: Top 5 Tuesday is going to be changed at least for the time-being to Top Three Thursday.
What’s been added?: I plan on adding some more links, the Student Ministry editorial and perhaps a few other categories. In addition, I’d like to enhance the “Faith Foundations” category by doing these more often. I feel we learn so much from one another when we share about the things we do to pursue Jesus.
That’s it for now… I hope you enjoy the new look!

Apologies for those who may look forward to surfing the net and finding a new post on this site… I have been pretty swamped these last 10 days and am preparing for some overhaul to the ol’ site.
I normally posted the update on Monday, but haven’t had web access the last couple days that was solid enough to do anything besides some facebook updates while speaking at a camp. However, the last week was a recovery week on the 100five50. I got back in the groove and back on the bike!
Physical: I rode my bike six of the 7 days last week for a total of 62 miles.
Carbs/Eating: Certainly got back in the groove with the carb-count.
Weight: Was sitting at 220 pounds on Sunday late afternoon… did this Sunday instead of Monday because I figured there would not be a scale at the camp I was speaking at.
Overall a great week.
Looking forward to some changes on this site and some new features.

Another week and another update. We are now approximately two weeks into the challenge I’ve entitled the “100five50 Challenge.”
100 Days
Five Days of exercise per week (sustained 30 minutes of aerobic)
50% of the carbs I would normally eat.
So this last week I did really, really well on the exercise. I rode all seven days for a total of 47.5 miles.
On the eating side, because of the increase of work out, I certainly saw my appetite increase as well. Therefore I only lost one pound, but that isn’t disappointing at all. I am sure my legs built some muscle weight as well. It felt good to get that much time on the bike.
So, 216 it is on this Monday.
Would love email, text or comments from those that are plugging away, no need to give stats if you don’t want, just let me know if you’re still doing the challenge.
Grace,
Brian
