My official weigh in will be Thursday.. Hopefully the scale will be nice like my wii fit .. According to the wii I am down around 5 pounds but nothing official til I see krista to weigh in ..this week will be new pictures taken..
On another note I have now gotten smaller then my husband who has lost around 70 pounds..almost time to shop for clothes again my 18 jeans are getting loose now as well..
This week my baby boy turns 7.. So we are actually heading to dollywood for the Christmas lights ..might try to ride the wild eagle or mystery mine thunderhead , blazing fury...who would of thought losing weight would make you stupid enough to ride roller coasters ... But that what you do when you got kids..

A lot on my mind...

Well this week could end up bad for me.. I got sick and now I'm taking predisone which causes me to gain weight usually so I'm not going to get down hearted if I gain this week.
This week so far I have actually gotten outside and put the gutters back up on the house which is something I could if never done before the idealprotein diet..there is a lot of house jobs that need to be done around here so now I can get busy doing them.i also read a good book this week called choosing forgiveness.. I really needed to read this book it answered a lot of questions but also made me do a lot of thinking . I know stress doesn't help with my weight loss journey so I'm trying to get a lot of things straightened out in my mind so the future can not be shadowed with the past.losing the weight was the first big push to deal with the past.

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me... This is what I say to myself everyday ..

Weigh in for 29 weeks

Well I actually weighed in yesterday losing another 4 pounds .. For the first time since I began I wore jeans to weigh in so it added around a pound and half . So I lost a little more but that's ok.... Me and my coach think I can hit a small personal goal of being 250 by the end of December that's 8 weeks to lose 22 pounds.. Once I hit that goal then I'm going to start thinking of how small I truly want to go..since in my whole adult life I have never been under 270.
I have began singing more at church it is amazing how you can have a talent and lose it in a heartbeat..after my thyroid surgery I figured music was no longer for me but by the grace of God I been able to sing..
Next week the Blanton weight loss clinic is doing an open house.. I am going to speak at it . Maybe something from my experience can help someone decide to lose the weight..I know when I decided to lose, one of my adoption group friends was my inspiration. Thanks Charlotte . You will never know how you have helped me ..
On another note, I had to shop again to buy some clothes .. For the first time I my adult life I got size 18/20 jeans.. That's a big deal for me considering I was in a 34/32 back in April ..I've posted a few new pics of my new outfits ...
