Crazy Busy Week! And Week 2 Results!

Wow, this week was pretty busy. Here is the low-down: Scott graduated on Friday night (Praise the Lord!), and we went to Maggiano's with the family. Saturday we had a cookout at my parents and our church family for Scott, and Friday we went to Moes and rode bikes.

Oh, and I started today. Great!

All that said, this was not a good weight-loss week. I am up 1.2 lb, and am disappointed but not surprised. Obviously, we ate a lot this weekend, and I started. But that is no excuse. I can still make better choices (like no sweet tea and TWO helpings of banana pudding!). So I am a little sad, but I will not let it deter me for this week!

I am so thankful again to the Lord for his provision in Scott's schooling. I must say it was nice to hear his name called and see him in his cap and gown. I am also thankful for our church, who came together and gave him an ipod, which he is now addicted to! I am just glad, becuase Scott doesnt ever buy nice things for himself and it is good to see him enjoying some new hobbies like the ipod and biking with me. I am glad to have him home at night! So, that is that. Thank you, Jesus, for my husband.

hey, your total is still a loss, and that's important! that time of the month is really hard to lose weight. just keep doing what you know and it'll show up soon. and this may seem a little cliche, but i've been using philippians 4:13 to help me be persistent with the diet and exercise. around lap 4, sometimes i'm gritting my teeth going.. i can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. and when i look at that delicious brownie... i have to say it to myself again. (o, and 4:11 is good too, i have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. (even if it means with the green beans and not the brownie))

sorry for the lengthy comment, i just got going.

Congrats! I am so happy for the two of you!

Don't get discouraged with the weight loss. You'll get there!

I'm praying for you!
