couple of random things!

well i lost another 2 lbs this week! so that makes a total of 12.4 lbs lost ~ woo hoo! i'm very excited. i didn't exercise as much ~ i was going to step it up ~ but didn't ~ and i can tell. so this week for SURE i am exercising more :)


on the job front...i got the job at petsmart...just don't know when i'm starting! i am just waiting on the background check to be complete. then i can start. still don't have a place to live no money to get one! that is a very, very hard thing to deal with right now.



and on top of that...MY CAR ISN'T WORKING right now either! it's like ok, that is the one place i can sleep when i don't have anywhere else to go... and now IT'S not working!!! well, it's working...sort of. the starter is going out. it takes around 20 or so times to get it started. i can't believe it. if it's not one thing, it's 20!! i'm like ok God, what ELSE can happen??? of course, if i had a job already, i could get a place to live and get my car fixed...so as soon as i start working things will get better ~ not great...but better.



so please be praying for my car and my housing situation! also that petsmart calls me to start working VERY soon! the sooner the better of course.

fasting

ok so...God has really been putting in my heart that i need to fast. what? ME?? i LOVE food ~ what is He thinking??
hmm...maybe He's thinking i need to put Him first and not turn to food.
i've never done this before - i've started to but not followed through - so this will be a new thing for me.
anyone have any scriptures? or thoughts? comments? ideas? anything? :)

hmm...God moment

ok...so last week i went to denny's to eat - yes, i can eat there and stay within points! :)

anyway...i was reading a book called "the list" by robert whitlow. some of you may remember that i posted about God speaking to me about the fiction i was reading...and i switched to reading christian fiction only. so anyway...the server asks me if she can read the back of my book - and of course i said yes. so she starts reading it and she says "i usually only read christian fiction". i was thinking, wait, did she just say that? so i said, "really? that is what that is." and she was said, "no way. you're kidding me." so we talked a bit more about God and how she doesn't believe in coincidences. it was just so cool!! it's amazing how God works. i'm bringing her some of my books that i've already read so she can read them :)

going, going, gone!

woo hoo! i went to ww this morning and weighed in...and i lost another 2.8lbs this past week! oh yeah - i'm excited!! i didn't exercise as much - so i'm going to really push it on the exercise this week - hopefully to lose more weight :)

OW! i'm sore!

ok - i went to the gym - and did 30 minutes on the elliptical!! ugh! my legs and b-u-t-t are so SORE!!! no pain no gain right? or i guess in this case - no pain no loss! :)

OMGosh!!

ok everyone...i went to ww this morning and weighed in...and...

drum roll please

i lost 7.6 lbs!! wow! that is an awesome start for me - i'm so excited and sooooooo motivated now!! i know people won't be able to see it yet - but that's ok! i know it! and i'm so THRILLED! thanks for letting me share with you all.

update on the diet and exercise!

ok...just wanted to let you all know how it is going! i have been eating within my ww points for 11 days now! and i've been to the gym 8 out of last 9 days!! and i will be going to the gym later tonight.

it's amazing...it's getting easier and i don't have the desire to eat the "bad" foods so much anymore. i actually look forward to going to the gym. i wish i could get the exercise without the gross sweating part...but hey...i guess i just have to suffer. lol

i haven't weighed myself...but i'm going to do that tomorrow morning...so we'll see if there is any difference yet.

oh, and i have a new goal/heroine! gretchen wilson!! i want abs like gretchen wilson! if you haven't seen her - you can go to www.gretchenwilson.com and check out her new video "california girls"! that is what i want my abs to look like!! i know that will take a long time to get - but that is what i'm working toward.

here's a woot woot for Dallas!!

Dallas got into Manogue! Woot Woot! Here is a picture of what I'll be wearing at her volleyball games next year!

accountability

well...one thing about posting my "diet and exercise" stuff on here...i don't eat krispy kremes at church!!

what? no INSTANT results??

lol - ok...so i've now been following my ww points for 5 days (this is day 6) and i've gone to the gym 3 days in a row! WHY HAVEN'T I LOST 30LBS ALREADY?? just kidding...sort of.

i mean, i know it's not going to happen over night...but still in the back of my "instant gratification mind"...i want to see results! NOW! i'm so impatient! rofl.

i can sure FEEL the results right now!! especially as i'm walking up stairs...ouch!
