This week I lost 2 lbs for a total of 32 pounds lost!
My hubby lost 5 lbs for a total of 37 pounds lost!
Things I've Noted:
1. When I start to lose energy it can happen fast - so that's when I know I need to eat again quick!
2. Lack of sleep makes me get tired faster in between meals! I need my sleep!
3. My husband doesn't really snore so much anymore! (The nights are so much quieter)
I am feeling Good! I was talking to a friend this week who previously ran a 10K event last year. She asked me if I wanted to run it with her next year. I thought to myself "You know, I totally could do that!" I will have lost all my weight before then and I could train... why not??
[I am NOT a runner and have never liked running but I like the idea of having a goal to work towards. You see, I've been so big, I haven't even RUN or JOGGED in YEARS!! It's so hard on my knees and huge flapping tummy, not to mention that I've just not been in any kind of shape to do it.]
But as of right now, I'm over 30 pounds lighter and still losing... so I feel excited about having a goal like that. And I would love to run an event with a friend!!! I even asked my hubby and kids if they wanted to have a goal to run it with me. (no big responses yet... :)
We went to the tulip festival yesterday. We didn't get tired walking around but we did need to take our small meal break and drink lots of water. Oh, but it was beautiful! Here we are looking out over part of the flower field.
Overall, we are having many positive changes in our lives. We are enjoying life more than just surviving it... even though we still have some huge trials.
My Mantra for this week: Remember the JOY in the JOURNEY!
Thank you Margene. I was especially motivated by your Sunday musings. I have those same private feelings too. I have noticed more than anything a complete change in your writing tone. You write more happy, so I can tell you're more happy. This is the most wonderful part of it all. Keep up the great work and continue to have that strong faith and trust in the Lord. I am excited more than ever to join you. You've helped me to see that I really do need to do this!! I think you're an answer to my prayers! :)
