Words

Well today is weigh in day and I lost 2 #'s!! For a total of 10# and 5% of my body weight :) I'm a happy girl!


Maddy and I got out early this morning for our walk/run and did 2 miles. She fell asleep so I guess that means she is loving it! I was running the last 1/2 mile back to the house and rolled my ankle and almost wrecked poor Maddy. Thankfully all seems ok and I finished my run. Sage and Rooster (German Shepherd and Mini Aussie) go along as well. I am sure we look like the running circus but, hey, it's good for all of us!


And on to my current favorite book: "A Woman After God's Own Heart" A Heart That Shows it Cares. "Be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord" 1 Corinthians 15:58. This chapter talks about learning to reach out.  Being a giver, being bold, and being a generous soul! It is amazing how we  touch another life by our own actions. It is up to us if that experience is good or bad. We are doing a women's day in church soon and the topic is Silver boxes, Gifts of the spoken word. How fitting! Just by our words alone we affect someone else. Our words alone could lift someone up or crush them, again its up to us. Lift someone up today!

All about my numbers

So this is where I will confess my weight and all the details. The lowest I have ever weighed was around 105#. That's a number I don't care to see again. Too skinny for me! I'm pretty happy around 130-140#. The most I have ever weighed was with Maddy 223# on delivery day. Michael and Lilly were both 206# and 203#. I lost weight fine after both of them. But gained after decided to have another baby. Guess I was practicing "eating for two". I gained after I stopped nursing Lilly because I sadly did not reduce what I was eating and woke up one day at 180#. Was losing the weight great and then our little surprise came along. After I had Maddy I lost 30#'s right away and the last 15# just weren't budging even with nursing. Today I weighed 190.2# (why is it so hard to admit those numbers) size 14. Which is crazily the jean size I was in before Maddy but I weighed 175 ish.
I lost 3#'s this week. I was surprised when I weighed. I haven't been using my extra weekly pts but for a couple treats. Sadly still haven't found exercise time. But hopefully soon.
So here are some numbers I like. My goal weight is like I said before 130-140#. Puts me around a size 5. I want to run a half marathon before I turn 31 (I turn 30 in August). Turning 30 this year actually doesn't scare me. It's just another chapter in life.
Oh and this past weekend in the city I bought 2 dresses (gasp!) and 2 new pair of heels. They are a love of mine :)

Ready to weigh in!

I'm actually excited to weigh on Friday. I've been tracking everything and doing really well with it. I haven't had any time to exercise and I know that would help me a lot.
I'm so glad I chose WW. It's testing me what real portions look like and I'm never deprived! I'm saving my weekly points for Fried chicken and chocolate cake on Friday for Cliff's birthday dinner. It's awesome that I can have that and not wreck my diet since I'm planning ahead.
Now if I could really get some exercise in I would be a happy girl!
