Ok, SOOOOOooooo....I had gained 5 lbs back last time I posted which left me at 76 lbs to go to meet my goal...Well, I have lost 3 of that this week!! Yay! So now I'm back down to 73 lbs to go to meet goal! Please pray for me. I am SERIOUS. This is SUCH a struggle for me!! Please pray specifically that I will stay committed and that the Lord will sustain me.
We are going out to eat with Eric's Mom and step-Dad tonight. I am really looking forward to spending time with them. We haven't done that much at all this year so far and hopefully we will work more on that in the weeks to come. We love our family and we're really trying to do better about staying close to them. Life gets so busy and we can leave out the ones who love us and support us the most. I don't want to do that anymore.
Until next time.....

Been a while.....ugh!
Ok, so I've really been avoiding this area on my computer lol! Since we last spoke, I have gained 5 lbs back as of last Friday's weigh in. UGH UGH UGH!!! Yeah, I pretty much am ticked off! I did have a "falling off" couple of weeks but last week I felt like I was getting back on track. I had been getting on the elliptical and cutting back on food. Apparently I didn't do as well I was thinking I had! SO, anyway, I am trying to back on track AGAIN (i hate this weight loss roller coaster!) and will update again this Friday REGARDLESS. Loss or Gain, I am posting!
Other than that, we've had a great day today with Eli's court hearing. He is OFFICIALLY a Thomas!! It was so awesome to be there today with the Thomas Family. They have prayed and waited for SO long for this day and I am so thankful that I was there to be a part of it!!! They are truly my family, even if they're not blood related.
We have been getting some GREAT soul food at church. Tonight was excellent and much needed for me. Pastor was talking about Rekindling our Fire! What? Just for me?? I just sat and soaked it all in and was very encouraged to STIR UP THE GIFT within me!
Olivia got her ears pierced last Friday. It was quite humorous. She has been TOTALLY against it! Each time we go to the mall I take her by Claire's and let her watch if someone is getting their ears done. She has wanted NO part of it! I told her that when she's ready she can just let me know. Well, Friday morning she woke up with an agenda! She started first thing saying she was going to get her ears pierced THAT DAY! So, I went with it. When Eric got off work, we ventured out, had dinner with PJ and his little girl Casey, and then off to the mall we went. I was still unsure if she was going to do it but she told me for certain she was NOT going to back out. We got there and she immediately hopped up in the chair. Not ONE tear was shed and she endured like a CHAMP! I was so proud of her! And since then, she has done FANTASTIC with the earrings! My baby is growing up and it makes me sad and happy at the same time.
She also started Spring Soccer and even though she's pretty much clueless out there, she is having a GREAT time and getting lots of good exercise.
Family-wise we have slacked off on the getting together lately mainly because everyone has had SO much going on lately. We are DEFINITELY going to have to work on that IMMEDIATELY!! I miss my sisters and feel distant again!! :(
Well, that's about all I guess. I will update again on Friday. (fingers crossed)
Until next time......
