It had been a while since I weighed myself, so I did! eekkk…… I wasn’t so happy with the results. I lost three pounds. I know it is weight lost, but personally I could have done better and stayed more focused. I have about six months till I turn 30!!! AAHHH! It was originally my goal to lose the weight before then. I can still do this and I will. Better get started, I have alot of work to do!!!! 
Stick to your task till it sticks to you;
Beginners are many, but enders are few.
Honor, power, place and praise
Will always come to the one who stays.
Stick to your task till it sticks to you;
Bend at it, sweat at it, smile at it too;
For out of the bend and the sweat and the smile
Will come life’s victories, after a while.

My Comfort Zone
By Author Unknown
I used to have a comfort zone
where I knew I wouldn’t fail.
The same four walls and busywork
were really more like jail.
I longed so much to do the things I’d never done before,
But stayed inside my comfort zone and paced the same old floor.
I said it didn’t matter that I wasn’t doing much.
I said I didn’t care for things like commission checks and such.
I claimed to be so busy with the things inside the zone,
But deep inside I longed for something special of my own.
I couldn’t let my life go by just watching others win.
I held my breath; I stepped outside and let the change begin.
I took a step and with new strength I’d never felt before,
I kissed my comfort zone goodbye and closed and locked the door.
If you’re in a comfort zone,
afraid to venture out,
Remember that all winners were at one time filled with doubt.
A step or two and words of praise can make your dreams come true.
Reach for your future with a smile;
success is there for you!
I read this and it motivated me, so I decided to share it with all of you!
This is not related to weight loss, but I wanted to share it anyway! 
So, I was minding my own buisiness while doing my home work in another room, while my wonderful husband ( can you sense the sarcasm) was taking care of our children. He decided that it would be a good idea to give our 3 year olds some bubble gum (Yeah, I know, what was he thinking)? My youngest daughter “had” beautiful long curly hair with bananna curls. I heard her crying and went out to see that see had bubble gum all in her hair, and saw my husband cutting it out with wire cutters! Ya wire cutters! Now, I’am laughing, earlier…. not so much! I’am a hairdresser, so I could not believe that my husband did that! He was like a little kid trying to hide the evidence! I had to cut about six inches off all around to make it all even, leaving no more curl :( I knew it was going to eventually happen, I just was not ready. Anyway, I can not believe how much it matured her! She is not my little baby anymore! I guess I really can’t say that the weight I am still carrying is baby fat huh?! Ha, ha! On the bright side, she does look adorable I must say! She will still always be my little girl! Time does go by to fast though, there are no more excuses for me! :)
| Footprints in the Sand |
| One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. |
| Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky. |
| In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand. |
| Sometimes there were two sets of footprints, |
| other times there were one set of footprints. |
| This bothered me because I noticed |
| that during the low periods of my life, |
| when I was suffering from |
| anguish, sorrow or defeat, |
| I could see only one set of footprints. |
| So I said to the Lord, |
| ”You promised me Lord, |
| that if I followed you, |
| you would walk with me always. |
| But I have noticed that during |
| the most trying periods of my life |
| there have only been one |
| set of footprints in the sand. |
| Why, when I needed you most, |
| you have not been there for me?” |
| The Lord replied, |
| ”The times when you have |
| seen only one set of footprints in the sand, |
| is when I carried you.” |

I read this often and every time I do it brings tears to my eyes! The Lord is always there, right beside us, ready to help us through anything! Including this struggle against weight loss, if we take his hand and trust him, he will carry us through! Wow, he is truely amazing! Today I will pray for all of us to take the Lords hand and guide us through this difficult journey, so we can all have true happiness and love ourselves the way the Lord loves us!
Take the time every day to thank God for all that he has done for me!
Wake up with a smile, go to bed with a smile
Live for the moment
Spend more time with my children doing the things they love
Stay positive
Eat healthier and keep track of it
Drink more water
Get in some form of exercise every day, even just running around or dancing with my children
Get up earlier than my children to study and take this time to cater to myself
I suppose I should get started! Bye for now
” I Can Do All Things Through Christ Who Strengthens Me” Philippians 4:13
Happy Moments, Praise God
Difficult Moments, Seek god
Painful Moments, Trust God
Every Moment, Thank God
Do scales really matter? Truth is, I have not stepped on a scale in about a month, so I’am kinda guessing what my weight really is. I do not have a scale in my house, because every time that I have ever had one I become obsessed with it. So I have choosen to just weigh myself when given the opportunity ( Usually at my brother in law’s house). Is this a good thing or a bad thing? I have been contemplating this for a while now. I know that I should be keeping up with my progress ( if there has been any). :) I do feel better though and I think that is important! Of course I’am very curious to see how much I actually weigh! Does any one else have this problem, or am I just crazy?
