Weight Loss Challenge

So I stepped on the scale today and I had a little victory dance! :) January 1st I was 122 pounds and this morning I weighed in at 118.5. :) I am making healthy choices and working hard at the gym. I FEEL GREAT! I know some of you see that number and think I wish I was that number. The truth of the matter is it is just a number. I am a very short women and I may weigh less now then when I got married but the body is still not like it used to be I am trying to firm up the middle, and tone the legs. I still have lots of baby fat to loose! I put the number on here to help keep me accountable and not to make anyone stumble in jealousy or anger.

Today I challenged myself to run a 5K and beat my time from last year-- SUCCESS! I did it in 27 minutes and 30 some odd seconds. :) WOOT!

Like I mentioned before I am being honest here in my weight and my struggles for the whole world to see!

So what struggles did I have this week? Food! I was with teens on Saturday and they eat anything and everything but I did not fall into temptation eating all the junk. :) YAY! I really feel like the devo I have been using on youversion.com has been helping- Look up the devotional Made to Crave. Helps change your perspective each day! :)

How is your health? Ready for a challenge?

Wills generally require the signatures of at least two witnesses who are not beneficiaries or spouses of beneficiaries. If the will is not witnessed in accordance with legal requirements, it may be declared invalid, meaning your estate would be distributed according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes.

About Sweet Andy's Cookies: The “Thank You” Cookie In 2009, Andrew (Sweet Andy) found himself in a position like so many others at that time in our past; the economy was quickly spiraling downward and he had left his job in the financial services industry. Although Andy had an MBA in Banking and Finance and had even written a book entitled, “A Guide to Taking Control of Your Investments”, he found himself to be disenchanted with the financial industry and left to pursue “other work.” The “other work” that Andrew pursued was with the Church and did not provide financial support for the family. During this time Andy and his wife, Lissa, struggled to find other forms of income. They did what they could for themselves and their five children but often it was not enough. But there were...
