I have not lost anything but I have excersiced twice and have eaten pretty healthy with lots of fruits. I have decided on Mondays when DJ goes to tutoring instead of going shopping or to Burger King I would run over to the Y. I felt much better and did not spend money or eat things that weren't healthy. Homeschooling has been very challenging this morning with DJ and Josh I finally called my mom to take Josh for a little bit. Thanks for your prayers Heather.
I'm glad to see everyone making wise choises it encourages me. Have a great day and God bless.
I'll keep you all in my prayers.
Tonight I discovered that my goal last time of eating more fruits and vegetables throughout the day is being met now without me even having to think about it. That was a neat discovery!
Also, I finally weighed myself today after admittedly forgetting to do so on Monday - (I didn't really want to take the scale out of its nicely packed box and then have to try and repack it in there!) So today's weight will be my baseline. However, the good news is that I've lost 5 pounds from...whenever I was last able to weigh myself on some (non-weigh-in) day during the last challenge :) This is good news :)
However, I also admit that due to frustrations out of my control, I ate a little wendy's burger last night...
and french fries...
and a frosty :(
Instead of the healthy pasta and broccoli meal I wanted to make.
but I recovered and made that tonight and prepared some good fruit for tomorrow. Always another day, right? :)
Prayers, Blessings and Love to everyone! :)
ps: Hey Lori...Josh probably likes getting to see his grandma from time to time during. Just think of it as broadening his horizons.... :)
I weighed my self this morning and I lost one lb. I was 186 on Mon. morning.
I have been eating healthy smaller meals and no bad snacking in between.
I have had fruit in the house and I am actually eating it. I also went to the Y twice and really enjoyed the whole experience. I really like to exercise :)
My biggest challenge will be overcoming myself. I know that I can do this, but I also know that I have to be patient and let my faith in God help me.
Congrats all you beautiful ladies!
1. Today I was 125, so I gained a pound over the holidays. Bummer, but I am back on track!
2. I have been consistent in my prayer life and have really felt the difference. I enjoy praying for each one of you every morning. Also, I LOVE exercising and am enjoying running again after being pregnant.
3. A challenge I am facing is figuring out how to blog. I so want this to be an encouragement to each one of you who take the time to get on and read. You are taking the time to read and I want you to know that I am taking the time to think of you as I write.
I love you all immensely....God has created each one of you for a great purpose. My prayer for each one of you is that as you focus on yourself and your health over the next few months, you will find how TERRIFIC God has made you!!
HI Ladies. I have lost one pound :) I really started to eat right again even packing my lunches. I was bad around Christmas. I did exercise last night and walked at the mall today for a little while. I was way too tired Monday. I actually fell asleep with Haley this evening from about 745 until 11. I have struggled to establish a routine with getting back to work. I'm so tired but I'm smiling through it. I didn't cry when I dropped her off today which is good and I know it will get easier.
Lori-Dan will appreciate the fact of you not shopping on Mondays :)
Jamie and Elaine-It will be nice having some new people on the blog too.
Heather-We really appreciate this blog and the time you put into it but we also know how busy you are and wouldn't fault you one bit for missing some days.
Happy healthy week ahead. I'll be rooting for everyone
Are we weighing in every Wednesday?
Lori and Missy- I think the fact that you have chosen to homeschool is amazing and you both have many special things about you in order to do this. I can't even imagine trying. When they get older and have one of the ah ha moments your kids will be so thankful for the sacrifices you made and the love you put into this. Keep smiling and inspiring the rest of us to put our best self forward.
Hi Everyone,
Sorry I'm a day late with responding. I think I lost a pound, but I also think my scale might be a little off...
It's been a tough week, and I could use your help. Two good friends of mine from my childhood are battling for their health. One is in acute kidney & liver failre and is awaiting her body to heal a bit before undergoing her second liver transplant in 10 years; oh, and her daughter will be one next month. My other friend has been fighting a recurring brain tumor also for the past 10 years. Every time they think they've got it, it grows back; at the last appointment, the doctors told them there was nothing more they could do. These young women need all the prayers they can get right now, so if you wouldn't mind saying a word or two, I'd really appreciate it. thanks for listening and praying; you're all wonderful women.
Sorry this wasn't about food & exercise, but it's been affecting my food & exercise & mentality about everything...
I know I am a day late on this, but I weighed myself this morning (I heard mornings are the best time, that is your true weight). It was 134. I would like to be around 127-128 by the end of the year. Healthwise. I joined some groups online to help me with tips and ideas on how to live a healthier lifestyle!!
Hi girls,
Amy thanks for the encouraging words. It has been a challenging week with school and trying to get back into the groove, Paul can be very moody and Wed was rough, but today went well.
I have definitely not lost any weight yet and I may have actually gained a lb but I didnt write down my orginal weight and it has been yoyoing through the holidays soooo I am going to say that I stayed the same...My exercising has been going well though...I am very happy to report that i ran 1.5 miles today and did better than the other day. ( i actually do a run/walk combo walk 3min. run 7min.)Anyhow I am running faster and able to not die so I think that is good. You are all so precious thanks for your prayers and support. Have a good week.
Missy
1. No pounds lost that I know of yet as of today Friday of the first week! I do ahev a success just now though! I really really really was craving taco bell! I didn't go get it any though! Nor did I let hubby go!
2. I'm measuring again being precise with portions not just guessing something is 3oz, 1 cup, making sure! makes me accountable for the supersized meals I'm guilty of eating!
3. One challenge is I work in a restaraunt when not busy we all eat. Or we taste test items or the aromas need I go on?
