What Can I Say?

Well....I can say that I didn't do too well last week. I ate things I shouldn't have and I didn't drink my water quite as faithfully as I should have or normally do. And because of that I gained 0.6 lbs. I know...you're gonna tell me that isn't that bad. But for me to have lost so well the three weeks previously and then to be shot down when I stepped on the scale this week was a bummer. But it was my fault. I can't blame anyone else. I didn't have to eat the things I ate that I shouldn't have and I could have let the Lord keep me from eating those things that were not the best things to eat.

I hope y'all did better than I did. I also need to get back to my exercise regime. With the unpacking being done and no need to be going up and down the stairs like I was...it is time to break out the Walking Away The Pounds dvd and get back to it.

Y'all keep up the good work on your end and I'll try to do better with the Lord's help this week.

Another Good Week

This week has found me continuing to get things set up in our new home and also doing some touch-up painting and little odds and ends like that. I have continued to do well with my eating and with drinking my water. My loss for this week was 1.6 lbs. Only 4.4 more pounds and I'll make my next goal. I'm so thankful to the Lord that I'm continuing to do well. Of course we have stairs in our house now and going up and down those several times a day is helping me I'm sure.

Our meeting at church went well yesterday. Everyone lost weight except for two ladies. Everyone exercised except for two ladies as well. The two that didn't exercise aren't the same two that didn't lose though. I'm enjoying our meetings together to encourage one another and to remind one another that we are praying for one another. That really does bring much comfort to know that others that are struggling with the same things are praying for one another.

I pray y'all did well this past week as well. Are you drinking your water like you should? I know I push that alot and y'all are probably tired of hearing it...but it really does make a difference.

A New Blogger To Introduce You To

Hello everyone!! I wanted to leave a post introducing you ladies to a young lady that is in our church and is very close friends with my youngest daughter Michelle. Her name is Marcy and she has been on a journey to eating better and losing weight along with the rest of us at our church that are doing so. She has lost quite a bit of weight and I'm so proud of her.

She has started a blog to help her keep track of what she is doing with her weight-loss. I would appreciate it if you would go by and visit her and be an encouragement to her like you have been to me.

Thanks y'all!! I know it will be a blessing to her getting comments from you all.

Another Loss....Woohoo!!!

I know I don't always have losses to share but I sure like it when I do. I lost another 1.6 lbs this week. I really thought I would gain since it was "that week" but since it came on Thursday I guess I lost some by Sunday when I weighed-in. I'm feeling so much better. With all the moving and unpacking that I've done....it has been a great help. But I'm about to have to break out the Walking Away The Pounds dvd in order to get my exercise.

I'm so thankful that things are going as well as they are with my weight-loss. The Lord has truly helped me in every way. I am able to wear skirts that I haven't worn in a long time and my tops aren't as tight in the arms anymore. It feels so good to be able to say those things.

I pray your week was a productive one as well. If not...don't fret!! Just keep going. We all struggle!! I know I have. If it weren't for all of you and your prayers for me and encouragement that you have given...it would have been harder to do this than it has been. So for that I want to say a big THANK YOU!!!

Boy Am I Getting Lots Of Exercise!!!

Hello all!! I pray y'all are having a great day and a wonderful week! I have gotten so much accomplished. I thank the Lord for the strength and energy to do it. He has truly enabled me and given me the proper mindset to do it. Every time I would begin to dread going up those stairs one more time I would think to myself "I sure can use the exercise!" and then I was able to do it and feel good about it. I am sore in my legs and in my backside...so that means I have been toning up in my trips up and down the stairs.

The house is looking just great and I'm so thankful for this beautiful home the Lord has provided for us. God is so much better to me than I deserve!!

If you are not having a productive week this week....don't get down and discouraged. Just keep going. The results will come....but we have to do our part. Eat right...don't overeat and drink that water!!!

I Got A Lot Of Exercise

We got moved!!! And I got my computer back!! We are back on dsl so I'm back to posting again and more importantly....I'm going to be able to visit everyone's blogs again. WOOHOO!!

This (as I'm sure you can imagine) has been a rather busy week. I had to be busy all week long last week packing up for our move. We moved yesterday and are now in our new house. It is beautiful!! God has certainly been good to us!! We are so unworthy!!

Our new house has stairs in it (which I didn't necessarily want) but God provided it and I know He has a reason (more than likely for exercise for us less than healthy folk...LOL!!). I have made many trips up and down those stairs already and no doubt will make many more.

Now for my update on my weight-loss. I lost 3.8 lbs!!! I drank my water like I was supposed to and I didn't eat like I should have....but the exercise paid off. My legs feel more tone now and I worked muscles that I know I haven't worked in a while or I wouldn't be as sore as I am. I pray y'all had a great week and had great results. If you didn't....so what!! Don't you dare give up!! We can't ladies!! God wants us to be healthier...and that won't happen without us doing our part. Drink your water....watch what you eat and how much you eat. And don't forget to exercise. Even if it is a little....that is better than nothing.

I've Made My First Goal!!!

I want to give the Lord all the glory for making this goal. I lost 1.2 lbs to take me over the 20 lbs total lost this far. I had to say WOOOHOOOO!!! It has taken forever to get to this first goal. But I'm so excited to be to this point. My next goal is another 10 lbs.

I started at 220.6 lbs and am now at 200.0 lbs.

As a side note please forgive my unfaithfulness in posting ealier this week. We had severe storms and tornadoes come through the Atlanta, GA area on Friday and Saturday and our computer got zapped through the phone line. Our dsl modem got zapped and we had to replace it. Unfortunately the lightening also got the phone jack in the computer so we cannot use that computer. I am currently using my husband's computer which is a much older model and is not equipped for dsl...so I'm having to use dial-up. We are also in the process of packing up our house to get ready for our move on March 29th. I may not be posting much until we get moved. So please just bear with me. I'll check blogs when I get back on dsl once we move. (Provided we get our computer back from the man that has been working on it for a while....if we do then I might be up sooner.)
