30 Days of Thanks: Day #8

I am infinitely grateful for Skype!  It allows up to stay much closer with family and friends that we miss dearly.  What would we do without it?!

30 Days of Thanks: Day #7

I am thankful for movie snuggles with my girls.  there is nothing like hanging out in jammies, wrapped in a blanket watching a great flick.  Add popcorn and hot chocolate and I'm in heaven.

30 Days of Thanks: Day #6

I am so thankful for modern medicine.  There are so many things I take for granted, but I am even more thankful for the Great Physician that can do immeasurably more than we can fathom.

30 Days of Thanks: Day #5

God has blessed me and my family with Living Hope Church.  Such an amazing body of believers!  I am so excited to grow with them in this journey.

30 Days of Thanks: Day #4

My heart overflows with gratitude and appreciation for my husband, Pete.  He loves me unconditionally and is... amazing.  Such a small word that can't come close to describing how much I love him.  I am head-over-heels in love!

30 Days of Thanks: Day #3

So much to be thankful for!  Today I am thankful for fabulous friends.  They are my calm in some crazy seas.  They throw me a life vest when I feel like I've fallen overboard.  They are my constant encouragement and aren't afraid to tell me the truth... even the hard truth.  My love and gratitude for them grow daily.

30 Days of Thanks: Day #2

I am so thankful for my amazing family.  These four give me so many reasons to get out of bed in the morning.  They make me smile, laugh, sing, cry... and the list goes on.  Without them, I could not be striving to be a better me.

30 Days of Thanks: Day #1

I am so thankful for my personal relationship with Christ.  He is my Rock and my Best Friend.  He encourages me to be in His likeness and to treat my body as His temple.

Weekly Weigh-In

Down another 4 pounds... 24 total!  I know that it will be harder as the weeks go by, but I'm enjoying the success so far.  Look for a new monthly goal this week.  Heading into the holiday season, I need to have a totally new frame of mind than in previous years.  Keep praying for me!  It's getting harder! (Darn Halloween candy...)

Not as bad as I thought!

So after a crazy weekend, I decided to weigh myself again... I lost 8 pounds!  While I was shocked to have gained the 3 pounds, I believed it could happen since a never-ending-shrimp run to Red Lobster preceded that weigh-in.  Luckily a lot of water flushed some of the salt out, and I'm back on track.  192 and counting...

Wait!  I just realized 192 mark 20 POUNDS LOST!!  I'm doing a little happy dance :)
