Perspective

For the first time in a long time, I have waken up over the last couple of days without my weight on my mind. I think that I will take some time and simply reflect on things rather than stress so much about it. It seems to have consumed me. My weight is all that I talk about. I don't think that is healthy. For now, I will choose to write about other things. I'll still update you on my progress but not so obsessively. I think it's time for a new strategy and perspective since the previous one has not been going so well.

8 Week Challenge: Week #2

Hello all! I regretfully report that I gained 2 lbs this week. I guess I just lived it up for Spring Break. We stayed in town but really had fun with the kids all week. I got lots of sleep and just had a great time. So, I'm not too upset. I know that I could have down better by making healthier food choices but I decided to indulge myself. It was fun while it lasted. Now, I'm back to reality. So I now weigh 178.2 lbs. I have also moved from a size 10 to a size 12. It's hard to admit but I cannot walk out of the house in tight clothes. Lol! I own the size 12 for now but not for long. If moving up a size is not motivation enough, I don't know what is.

8 Week Challenge: Week #1

Not much to report. I did not lose any weight yet. The great part is that I didn't gain any so I'm proud about that. I still weigh 176.2 lbs. I did get back into the gym. It was great! Looking forward to the coming week. It's spring break so I'll have more time to work-out this week. Prayerfully, the extra work-outs will pay off. I will report back next week. Have a blessed week everyone!

Maddi's 2nd Birthday Party

Although Madison's birthday is not until next Sunday, we celebrated early. We gave her a pull-ups potty themed birthday party. The kids used some dance mats that I got from the pull-ups company to lead them in doing the new "potty dance". It was cute! Madison loves Dora the Explorer so that's the kind of cake she had since I couldn't find anyone to make a potty cake. Here are a few pics.
