Ok, so I have pretty much been dreading blogging because I hadn't been doing so well on the whole weight loss area of life :(. But, about 3 weeks ago, I got my membership back at the YMCA and have been trying to get back on track. During my recent "fall off" I actually gained 8 lbs!!!! UGH~ Ok, once again confession is good for the soul! So in the past 3 weeks I am still only 2 lbs back down from that. Of course, that's give or take as we all fluctuate daily.
Anyway, I definitely need to keep my blog current and keep current with all you that I'm following (Kaye, Karen, Jessica).
Family life is going really good. School is almost out and summer is fast approaching. I have decided to babysit one of Olivia's friends 2 days a week in the summer to allow Olivia some interaction with another child so she's not bored to death all summer with dear ole' Mom!! :) Hopefully we can do a lot of outdoorsy stuff and not be lazy and stay in the A/C !! Pray PLEASE for some MOTIVATION for me!!
We just celebrated Mother's Day this past Sunday and we had a really sweet/sobering service at church. The Pastor really just reminded us how important it is to remember how fortunate we are if we still have our Moms with us here on earth and to really love them while we still have the opportunity. It was much needed and a great inspiration to spend more time with family.
That afternoon we spent the whole afternoon with Eric's mom and then that evening went out to supper with my mom. It was a GREAT DAY! But, the most important part was my sweet little girl's suprises for me that day! She had made me a card in her Wed night class and a sweet little treasure box with her picture on it in Children's Church. She was SO excited about celebrating Mother's Day and kept telling me how much she loves me and is glad I am her Mommy. Yes, the heart DOES literally melt!! Also, my husband, whom I love more and more each day, got me the SWEETEST card and of course, CHOCOLATES!! lol Bless him!
Back to the weight loss issue.... I am trying very hard to stay motivated and committed to exercise. I met with a girl at the Y named Jennifer (how funny) and she is my Wellness Works coach. I also have been going to her AB class on Tuesdays and Thursdays with Amanda and those have really been helping. SOOOOO even though I'm not losing pounds as fast as I want to, I really feel that I am losing inches and MOST IMPORTANTLY, I feel SO much better!!!
We are leaving Thurs to go to Charleston where I have to sing in a wedding of a dear friend. I am so honored that she asked me and I am really nervous! BUT, everything will be fine and I know she is going to have a beautiful wedding and I am very happy for her & her hubby-to-be! Weddings always make me cry!! lol
Well, I guess I will get back to work now. I have MUCH to do before going out of town! If I don't blog again this week, I PROMISE I will update next week...at least at my next weigh in........UNTIL NEXT TIME!!
