August 29th, 08
When I got up and went to the bathroom there was no spotting no nothing but this was in the middle of the night so I told God if when I get up for the day there is no spotting I will take a pregnancy test. So When I got up for the day there was no spotting so I took a test. And much to my surprise written out digitally it said PREGNANT! I could hardly believe my eyes. I was filled with excitement and wanted to tell Chris. I was shaking super hard and could hardly get dressed. Chris was outside taking care of something when he walked in the door I was standing there pregnancy test in hand and said babe you were right this is the month. We both just hugged each other and cried and cried. I had to sit down because my legs were so weak. I then told him I’m excited but I’m so scared. He tried comforting me but unless you have went through a loss you just don’t know the emotions that come over you with this. So we called the doc and was told to go in for blood test which I did but then I would have to wait all the way till Tuesday to get another blood test to make sure my numbers were going up like they should so that I could start my heprin shots(had to wait till Tuesday because of labor day). So I went and had my blood drawn. Following this I came home and pulled out my pregnancy books which have been put up for quite some time. But I was also very crampy today which freaked me out, but I had NO SPOTTING PRAISE GOD!
August 30th, 08
Chris and I have told no one of the pregnancy because we want to tell my parents first and they are coming into town on Friday so we will have to keep our lips sealed. However I seriously needed a prayer warrior praying for Chris and I and this baby to take the fear away. Today I was cramping too pretty bad so I was having a hard time having peace about this pregnancy and being excited at the same time. So I told Streeter a girl that I work with and when I told her she and I both cried. She knows how much Chris and I want this and the struggles we have went through in the past with this. She is an awesome prayer and so is her husband so they have been praying for us! Thank you Lord for these awesome people you have placed in our lives! Today I had no spotting but some light brown mucousie discharge…yeah I know you don’t want to read that but oh well its my journal and I’ll write what I want =) So I was so happy to not have spotting again….I have never been pregnant and not had spotting throughout the entire pregnancy. I also read in one of my books today that cramping is normal and sometimes it’s a lot more painful than just period cramps so God must have put that in place for me to read to help relieve some of my stress.
August 31st, 08
Today was a great day. I was so excited about this pregnancy and my fears were pushed aside. My cramping decreased drastically! I had NO SPOTTING and just a couple times of the light brown mucous like discharge. Having Mr and Mrs Streeter praying and my hubby has just brought such a peace to me. So today I decided how we would tell my parents. I have been saying for over a year that I was going to cut my hair once I became pregnant and donate it. So yesterday I looked through some hair books and found a short hair style and I’m pretty sure once my mom sees that my hair is gone she will immediately know that I am pregnant! Knowing her she probably already knows even though I haven’t told her yet. This is one thing that is killing me is not telling her. She is the one person outside of my hubby that I want to talk to about this more than anyone. But I know it will be worth it to wait till she is down here on Friday and to see her face she and my dad are going to be the best Grandparents ever, Chris’ parents will be good too….this baby is going to have so much love! Thank you Lord for giving me peace and allowing me to be excited about this!
September 1st, 08
Today is Labor day! I have to work which is fine because if I didn’t I would be sitting at the house all day waiting for night time to hit so I could go to bed and get up and go get my blood drawn tomorrow. I just know that everything is doing what it is suppose to do and we will be starting my heprin shots tomorrow! Thank you Lord for continuing to be with me and Chris!
September 2nd, 08
Well we got the levels back today and they are going up just as they should but were still too early in the pregnancy to do the shots so next week we will go again and see what the levels are and then they will determine about the shots.
September 3rd-8th, 08
Well I have had no spotting at all. I had my blood drawn and my levels are still going up as they should…Praise God. I have to get an ultrasound on Friday which I’m excited about and scared about at the same time but I know God is in control and everything is going to be fine.
September 9th-September 12th, 08
NO SPOTTING still! YAY!!! God is so good. Also we went to the doc today and had the ultrasound and saw the little flutter of the baby but its still really close to the wall of my uterus so kinda hard to see…but the sac and the yoke sac look great according to the doc. He says he is very optimistic about this pregnancy and every looks like it is suppose to at 6 weeks along. He had us learn how to do the injections today and I will start them tomorrow. I had my blood drawn today which I will find out about on Monday but I’m sure its PERFECT and then we will have another ultrasound next week some time. So YAY!!!

Taking time off the blog....
I will be taking a little time off of the blog, not off of my life style change though! I will still be journaling but it will be about some stuff that I am not ready to share with just anyone but I'm sure eventually I will post it on here but for now I wont be posting anything very soon. I will continue to post my weigh ins on Wednesdays though! Have a blessed day! God is GOOD ALL THE TIME!

Chris is officially a fire fighter...and still as always my number one support!
August 21st, 08
I cannot wait to get out of work tonight because we are heading to Flint. I get to see some old friends which is so exciting and get to see Chels since she just moved to ann arbor. Plus we get to tell everyone about Chris being hired on to Harris Township fire department. I'm so super proud of him. He is the best and deserves this! This is super great!
August 22nd, 08
Today has been soooo busy as most days back in town are. Just trying to see everyone is hard but we like it. Today I got to speak with an old friend who I am going to be praying for and encouraging throughout her weightloss journey. This is so great and what I have wanted since I started this. Now God has me at a place that I can help others. Also she may be helping me turn this all into some kind of workbook to help others as well which is soooooo amazing! God is working so much out! God is good!
August 23rd, 08
Today we spent the day with Chels at the campground. It was a great day. A little more relaxing than yesterday was because we went to the campground. It was a good day. And I did really well with food choices and I still got my workout in even though we were so busy!
August 24th, 08
We came home today. I wanted to eat all stinking day long. I don’t know why. But I ended up going to the store and buying fruit so that if I was going to over eat it was going to be on the fruit and not on any other junk! I had a great workout even though I did NOT want to workout at all today. I wanted to sleep all day long. But God gave me the strength to get my fat butt up and work out! Even when you don’t want to workout just think about how you will feel when your done. And think about how its going to effect you tomorrow if you don’t workout today. If you miss today then I’m sure tomorrow will be that much easier to miss so get up and get moving!
August 25th, 08
Great workout today. Another day of wanting to eat all day so fruit it was! Not much to say today! God bless!
August 26th, 08
Well tomorrow is weigh day! I think I did okay this week. Even with not having a regular schedule and being out of town I think I lost at least something. We will see tomorrow.
August 27th, 08
I lost 1.5 lbs which puts me at 126 lbs lost. I currently weight 247 lbs.

I'm finally under 250 yay!
August 14- the 19th, 08
Pretty much the same old stuff. Get up early. Work out and go to work! My workouts this week have been great. I have uped them in intensity and it has been awesome! Just so busy lately with watching our friends baby in the mornings and getting my workouts in and getting to work. The days are flying by. By the way if your reading this please continue to pray for Chris and I we are still trying to get pregnant again and pray that when it does happen that all fear would be gone and we wouldn’t focus on the losses from the past but know that God is in control and will keep everything healthy and safe! I have started combining days in my journal for the simple fact that I am so crazy busy it is hard to get on everyday and put a journal entry in plus they are getting to be pretty repetitive=) So God bless!
August 20th, 08
So I lost 2.5 lbs this week yay! I have lost a total of 124.5 now which puts me at 248.5lbs.…still a lot but gosh you have no idea how great it feels to say I way under 250 now. The last time I weighed 250 must have been in like 7th grade. I was doing Jenny craig at that time in 7th grade and remember my last weigh in there after I had lost weight was 255lbs so I’m feeling great about the 248 right now! Thank you Lord for your constant strength and encouragement!

I'm soooo behind....so here is where I catch up
August 2nd, 08
Working this weekend which sucks because I have gotten to use to having time off. Its okay though next weekend I will be in Flint yay!
August 3rd, 08
Not much to say. Just a busy morning with getting my workout in and getting to work….same oh same oh!
August 4th, 08
Its Monday and its our first day watching our friends baby. She was very fussy today and it was hard to get my workout in….but that’s okay I guess its just practice for whenever we have our babies. Nothing interesting again today….be blessed!
August 5th, 08
I’m so excited because tomorrow I leave to go to Flint. I can’t wait to see all my guys. They haven’t seen me since I have lost weight…and I just can’t wait! Tomorrow is weigh day so keep your fingers crossed, hopefully I hit the 120 lb mark for losing!
August 6th, 08
I did it I have lost a total of 120 lbs as of today wooohooo! I can’t believe it! I have so much to do though because I have to catch the train to Flint soon!
August 7th, 08
So the rehearsal was today and when the guys saw me the reactions were priceless and made me feel so good! This hard work is really paying off in so many ways! And I got to be the only girl at the bachelor party being that I am best friends with the groom and that was awesome! Gosh it is so great to finally feel good about myself! Thank you Lord!
August 8th, 08
Today has been crazy busy. This morning I went and got my hair cut and had an updo done for the wedding. Then went to Brandons to help him with stuff for his big day then it was time to get to the church…gosh it was a crazy busy day but it was sooooo great! Thanks to my hubby I had the perfect dress that everyone raved about the only thing missing was my hubby today…but I get to see him tomorrow YAY!
August 9th, 08
My parents and I drove out to Muskegon today and Chris met us there to pick me up but first we spent the day walking the Pier in Muskegon and then went to Grand Haven and did the same. The day flew by but it was a great one! Time for bed now!
August 10th, 08
I’m so exhausted today. I can hardly move. The dancing from Friday night has hit me today and I’m in pain. I haven’t been this sore since our hiking trip…this is crazy! So I’m taking a break today from my workout which is okay because I worked out everyday that I was away.
August 11th, 08
Its back to work day and I’m not looking forward to it. I don’t know but just lately I have not been motivated for work at all. I need to kick it into gear! But I have been doing great with eating right and exercising….I think the only thing I do mess up with sometimes is not eating enough….you know I have a hard time getting past the mindset that eating very little won’t help you lose weight….I’m figuring it out though!
August 12th, 08
So tomorrow is weigh day and I hope I did okay. The numbers have really been dropping and I know its because now that I’m am down that it is going to start coming off slower. My goal is to lost 8-10 pounds per month so I pray I keep that up even with it being so much harder to drop the weight now that I weigh less. I know God will see me through!
August 13th, 08
This will be short and sweet because I have to get a workout in before getting to work. I was mandated so I have to go in early. Well I weighed and I lost 2 lbs which puts me at 122lbs so yay! K I’m going now…have a good one! God is GOOD!

week in missouri...
July 22nd, 08
I packed today and we are leaving tonight for a week in Missouri so I will see you in a week! Be blessed!
July 30th, 08
Well we arrived in Missouri on July 23rd which was weigh day and I only lost 1.5 lbs last week which puts me at 117lbs lost. And then today was weigh day and I didn’t lose any. But I’m not going to beat myself up about it. I mean I was on vacation and at least I didn’t gain. I did work out every day of vacation though so I’m really proud of myself for that! My inlaws were really surprised to see how much weight I had lost and all were very proud of me. I ate healthy as everyone else had cakes and desserts, and went out for custard…I kept strong the entire time and did not give in even once! I’m really proud of me right now! Plus I got to shop at stores for clothes that I have never shopped before. Nice to be able to go some where that doesn’t sell all plus size clothes and shop for once in my life….its freaking great to feel I guess normal! Well it was a great week away but I came back feeling so exhausted! We were very blessed to have the time away together but now its time to get back into the routine of things! Thank you Lord for the great time and keeping me strong throughout the week!
July 31st, 08
Today I took the boys to the 4-H fair. I was so excited because I fit very comfortably inside the rides. And if your small you wouldn’t understand this at all. But I know this time last year I would not have been able to ride any of the rides at the fair due to my size, but this year was a different story. I actually enjoyed the fair this year and didn’t have to worry about if the bars would latch or not or if the belts would reach across me. Like I said before if your small you just don’t understand the fear of waiting to get on a ride and hoping that you fit in the seat and even if you fit in the seat hoping that whatever guard is holding you in fits so that it will lock. I never want to return to that fear again and we all know how small fair rides seats are and I had NO PROBLEMS at all!!!! It was a great day filled with lots and lots of walking and enjoying rides…I would have never been able to do this before.
August 1st, 08
So its Friday, my day off. Oh what shall I do. I know I’m going to RELAX! My hubby has to work today which I’m bummed about. So we spent the morning together running around grocery shopping and stuff. Then he made lunch and headed off to work. I then had a great work out. Now I’m on here. When I’m done writing I’m going to have a girls night with myself and I’m so excited about it. I rented some chick flicks from redbox(movies I knew chris wouldn’t want to see) and I’m going to kick back and watch them and do a whole lot of nothing but enjoy not doing anything! Its going to be great(although I will miss my hubby). So I’m off for my girls or should I say girlie evening!

Soooo ready for a vacation!
July 18th, 08
Well today I had the day off! We were super busy trying to get the house clean because today is the only day I have to get things done before we leave for Missouri. Plus we were having important company over today so we were so busy! But the house is clean yay! We had some friends over which was great! Then we had time together which also was great! It was an awesome day and I can’t wait for 7 of these next week….minus the cleaning my house because I’m going to be GONE!
July 19th, 08
Well another 12 hour day ahead of me. I worked out. And did what I needed to do but now its time to head out to work again! 4 more days till Missouri!
July 20th, 08
Only 2 more 12 hour days left and I am so proud of myself. I have been getting up early enough to get my workouts in before these long work days it has been great! I’m ready for them to be over though but I do thank God for providing the OT! God is good!
July 21st, 08
I finished my 6 OT day and I’m so happy. This means one more regular work day and then we are off to Missouri. But this also means…I have SOOOO much to do. I have been able to do nothing this week because of all the hours I have been working so no packing has been done and no laundry…so I should get off of here and get it done! Have a blessed day. I probably won’t get a chance to update this again till we get back!

July 14th, 08
Well I got called into work today. I did get a workout in but I’m tired. I’m working 12 hours today so I gotta get out of here! Have a blessed one!
July 15th, 08
So for the next 6 days that I work 5 of them are 12 hour shifts. And I just did a 12 hour shift yesterday. One of the girls I work with called off for the week! I know I’m gonna regret it each morning that I have to get up and go to work early but at the same time I’m blessed by it too because that is a lot of over time! Tomorrow is weigh day…pray I lost! By the way even though I’m working the 12 hour days I’m still getting my workouts in! I did my workout 2 times today! Thank you Lord for all the strength that you give me!
July 16th 08
So it was weigh day and I did okay. Not great thought. I lost 2.5 lbs which I know is good but I wanted 4. Oh well I can only do what I can do right! Thank you Lord for the weight that I did lose! Well off to work again for another 12 hours…I’m taking the boys to the YMCA today so we can all get a good workout in!
July 17th, 08
This is my third 12 hour day coming up today which means 3 more after this but I do have tomorrow off which I’m happy about! I don’t really have time to be on here because I still have to do breakfast and my workout and get ready for my long work day…so have a great day! Be blessed! By the way yesterday when I took my boys to the YMCA I outlasted all of them on the elliptical and was going much faster than they were…it was great!

I know I’m gonna regret it each morning that I have to get up and go to work early but at the same time I’m blessed by it too because that is a lot of over time! Tomorrow is weigh day…pray I lost! By the way even though I’m working the 12 hour days I’m still getting my workouts in! I did my workout 2 times today! Thank you Lord for all the strength that you give me!
July 16th 08
So it was weigh day and I did okay. Not great thought. I lost 2.5 lbs which I know is good but I wanted 4. Oh well I can only do what I can do right! Thank you Lord for the weight that I did lose! Well off to work again for another 12 hours…I’m taking the boys to the YMCA today so we can all get a good workout in!
July 17th, 08
This is my third 12 hour day coming up today which means 3 more after this but I do have tomorrow off which I’m happy about! I don’t really have time to be on here because I still have to do breakfast and my workout and get ready for my long work day…so have a great day! Be blessed! By the way yesterday when I took my boys to the YMCA I outlasted all of them on the elliptical and was going much faster than they were…it was great!

The weekend.....good times...
July 10th, 08
I had my supervision at work today and it went really well. I’m apparently doing great but I guess I’m a little too nice as a supervisor to the other staff so they are slacking a bit, but if that’s the worst that comes out of my supervision is me being nice then yay! Today was good….Jenn is coming to visit tomorrow…yay…and I get to spend a whole day with my hubby and I can’t wait!
July 11th, 08
Its Friday yay and I’m spending the day with my amazing husband. Jenn will be coming into town this evening. I’m so excited to be with my hubby all day! So I’m getting off of here so I can be with him.
July 12th 08
Today is girls day. Spent the morning with my hubby and Jenn, but now its time for girls night out…see ya later!
July 13th, 08
Well I went out with the girls last night we went to Fridays and I only ordered a water and ate nothing(it was too late to be eatin‘). Then we went to the Landing and did some dancing…it was great fun…and a really good work out! Even though Jenn was in town and I knew I was gonna be up late and dancing’ I was still sure to get my workout in yesterday morning….and today(although my body didn‘t want to today)! God is so good! He continues to keep me strong and pressing through! Thanks Lord for a great weekend!

July is flying by.....and where did June go...
July 6th, 08
I took the kids to the beach today and we had a great time. Played volleyball in the water which was a really good workout my legs were super sore. Not much to report today. No struggles with food or workouts. God is good!
July 7th, 08
Its Monday…I got up early and got my workout in, then went to work for a meeting, came home and had lunch then went back to work…not a very interesting day!
July 8th, 08
I’m feeling bloated today like I’m retaining water or something…I don’t know. Chels said I look super small today but I’m not feeling it. I did my workouts and ate right but just don’t feel great. Tomorrow is weigh day so I’m hoping its good!
July 9th, 08
Weigh day…well I didn’t hit the 4.5 lb goal which stinks but I did hit 3 lbs which I’m happy about….I’m setting another 4 lb goal for myself for next week. I’m at a total of 113 lbs lost now so yay…I would like to be at 120 lbs lost by the time we go to Missouri which is in 2 weeks so I’m going to have to work hard to get these 7 lbs off by then! I know I can do it with Gods help!

GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME!!!!
July 1st 08
Wow today has just been amazing! God has been so good to me! First of all I don’t know if you remember the day that I was venting about stuff at work but today the person that I was having the issues with was like a completely different person…or who knows maybe God changed me…you know a lot of times when we pray to God to change someone else we really need to deal with what needs to change about us first…but I’m not going to preach. But anyways back to this issue….its all good! So then following this I did have a kid threaten to beat me up with a chair and started coming at me with it…now you would think that would have stressed me out and made this day bad but it didn’t phase me one bit. Following this I found out I was employee of the month which is cool and I get to pick a $20 gift card so yay. Then following this our company gets an email from our top dog(boss) that says they were looking over the budget and they feel really bad about the fact they were unable to hand out bonuses in December so tomorrow everyone who works full time and was hired before April 08 gets $100. What a blessing! God is just AWESOME! He is awesome in the not so good times to (don’t forget that)! GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME!
July 2nd, 08
Today is weigh day…..and I hit the goal of losing 4.5 lbs and I actually lost 5 lbs YAY! Now I’m at 110(well 109.8 if you want to be technical) I now weigh 263 lbs WOOHOOO!!!! Goal for next week is another 4.5 lbs….I know its going to be hard but I’m going to do my best to hit it! Thank you Lord for your strength, and peace, you are awesome!

Must have forggoten to add these on here when I put them in my journal...sorry!
June 28th, 08
I did a whole lot of nothing today. I mean I did my work out…3 actually, but other than that I was pretty useless around here. I just chilled most of the day outside of working out…it was actually really nice! It was a great day off but I missed my hubby he had to work all day long!
June 29th, 08
So I did 3 workouts again today…I refuse to let my body hit a plateau which I believe is what its trying to do with only losing 2 lbs last week and zero the week before. I went shopping all day with Chels which was a lot of fun…I got my shoes for my friends wedding….now if only I could find the perfect dress…I think I did we will see I ordered it and it will be here in a couple days…but I also thought the last dress I bought was “the dress” but now I’m thinking it wasn’t. I have to look AMAZING at this wedding….I have lost so much weight since I have seen pretty much all the people that are going to be there so I have to look great! We will see when this dress gets here if it makes the cut…lol.
June 30th, 08
Its Monday and I’m back to work. I did 2 workouts this morning one after breakfast and the other after lunch and I think I will do a quick one tonight when I get home…but we will see. Have a blessed day!

June 26th and 27th
June 26th, 08
Not much to say today. I worked out. Ate right! And worked today!
June 27th, 08
Today is Friday yay and I have another 3 days off I’m so excited! However when I woke up this morning I wasn’t feeling to well, but you know me I had to get my work out in. So had a good work out and a little later on ate lunch but then I became extremely tired but I knew I couldn’t eat then lay down so I did another full workout then took a nap. Well this nap became not a nap I was in bed for 4 hours. Before I knew it, it was 9p and when I woke up I was starving so I ate very little but it was really too late to be eating so I did another full workout so that way when I went to bed I would have already burned the calories from dinner and they wouldn’t just be sitting there becoming fat! Plus on the days I don’t work I like to do a lot of workouts if not I will get bored and end up eating instead. It was a good day even though I didn’t feel good. God is just so great and gives us the strength to do anything.

Been a few days....
June 19th-22nd
Well our camping trip was GREAT for the most part. The Lord blessed us with AWESOME weather even though it was suppose to rain the entire weekend. We went to the Big Ticket Festival on Friday which was Chris’ bday and we were so blessed in being there. It was a great day of praise! Then there was Saturday and we did some 4 wheelin which was tons of fun until I hear a siron behind me and its DNR…apparently I was off roading where I shouldn’t be and I got a ticket but not only that had to pay $100 bond to keep me from going to jail and my atv from being impounded. They actually held me there and my atv for over an hour….funny now…wasn’t funny then! I am proud of myself though because even though I was on vacation I got up before everyone else and worked out every day! Thank you God for an awesome weekend!
June 23rd, 08
Back to work….I feel yucky this week. When I look in the mirror I keep seeing the old me back when I first started and I feel like I look like I have lost no weight at all. I know weird right. I know I don’t look the same but for some reason just don’t feel that way this week. I have even been having dreams that when I wake up I will have gained all my weight back…craziness I know…but I will get past it! God is good!
June 24th, 08
Today I worked a double and didn’t get a chance to get a work out in however I went to Chicago for the day and went to the shedd aquarium, and navy pier. So I walked the entire day! It was a good day it was beautiful walking the pier and the aquarium was just great!
June 25th, 08
I can’t believe it is already the end of June! This year is flying by. Today was weigh day and it wasn’t what I hoped for but it was something. I lost 2 lbs…not enough but I will take it. I feel like I’m working so hard and wish the numbers of loss were bigger…but I also have to understand that now that I’m smaller the numbers each week will be smaller too! Its all good! God is good! I’m setting a goal of 4.5 lbs to lose this week!

Zero this week....
June 18th, 08
Weigh day….so I lost nothing this week! I’m bummed! But I kinda expected it because I figured that I have lost so much weight so far that soon my body was going to freak out and want to try to hold on to it. This is going to be hard to break through this point and keep dropping because I have never been less than what I am now. But I’m going to keep pushing until the weight falls! Well I better go get my workout in and then get packing for another camping trip we leave tomorrow morning yay! Thank you Lord for giving me the strength to push through and not give up even during the weeks that the scale doesn’t budge!

Catching up on entries...I'm a few days behind!
June 12th, 08
Today I am packing all morning(but I did get my workout in) and we are leaving for Flint tonight yay! See you on Monday!
June 13th-15th, 08
Well Friday I went back up to my old job and everyone was great. They were so excited to see me and the weight I had lost. The said I’m an inspiration to them. It was great. Then we went camping for the weekend. It was great fun! I did great with eating(you know when camping its easy to over eat and just snack, snack, snack but I didn’t I did really well! Thank you Lord for such a great weekend.
June 16th, 08
Well no work out today we drove home in the morning and then I had to get ready for work, then off to work I went so nothing really to say for today except for God is Good!
June 17th, 08
Getting back into the swing of things with my regular workouts(it was hard with camping I mean I was very active but didn’t have my set aside workout time). I’m hoping I lost weight this week…we shall see in the morning. For some reason every time we come back from a weekend away I either lost like a half pound or nothing which is super frustrating because I do so well while gone. But I guess nothing or a half pound is better than gaining any day. Chris seems to think I must retain water or something but whatever. We will see tomorrow. God please let me have lost at least a couple pounds this week!

I HIT MY first BIG GOAL...time to set a new one!!!!!!!
June 10th, 08
Only a couple more days till we go camping and I’m very excited! I’m still working out hard!!!! Tomorrow is weigh day and I’m looking forward to it.
June 11th, 08
So I weighed today and I lost 5 lbs which puts me past my one hundred pounds!!!! Can you believe it. I weigh 270! So I’m at a total of 102.8 so pretty much 103 lbs lost….unbelievable, but its true! No surgery….no pills….just a lot of God and fam and friends support, healthy eating and lots of exercise! So now its time for me to set up a new goal. This time I am going to set for 50 lbs so that will be around 220. Once I reach that I will set another 50 pound loss goal. But I don’t want to make the number huge so I’m going with 50 for this time. I have never been smaller than this outside of second grade…lol…but really I don’t know what weight is the right weight for me so I’m going to start breaking my goals down till I figure it out! Have a blessed day! Thank you God for helping me reach this goal that I didn’t think I would ever hit….you are so good!!!

A great day....
June 9th, 08
I’m feeling great today! God is working on me BIG TIME! In so many ways. Mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically! He has put a fire back in me that I had lost. I got up bright and early this morning and got my workout in before my meeting at work at 9:30 which was great it left me so much more time to be able to just chill with my hubby and get some of Gods word in, which I had been just pushing off when I didn’t have time. I’m super excited because we are camping this weekend and I can’t wait its going to be great fun! I’m also super excited for weigh day coming up because I have been working so super hard this week to not only hit my 100lb mark but to pass it. We are going to Missouri July 23rd and I would like to lose 30 more pounds by then which I know is pushing it but I have to push myself I can’t just get compfy because of how much weight I have lost I have to push even harder! Well have a blessed day. And if you have any needs and want me to pray for them let me know on my blog I’m willing to pray and believe for whatever your need is! BE BLESSED!

June 8th, 08
Well it was another busy day as most Sundays that I work are. Got up, worked out, did church, had lunch, saw Mel’s baby at the hospital then went to work. It was a great day! God just thank you!
