My Weekend

It’s working. I lost 1 pound this week. That is awesome and a total of 4 pound since I started two weeks ago. Let’s here it! Yippee! Last week I kind of thought it was a fluke. This week I didn’t eat as close to plan, but it was better than I used to eat and I still lost. This is very encouraging to me. I will continue to do what I’m doing and I will continue to work on improving the way I eat. I’m not on a diet. I’m trying to eat the way I believe God wants me to – not to excess. He doesn’t want me addicted to food. He wants me happy and he wants me to have control over my body so that my spirit can have room to grow.

We moved from Colorado 10 months ago. My best friend moved about 4 months after we did and ended up moving 1 ½ hours away. At the last minute Friday night we put our kids in the PJs and drove up to visit. We haven’t seen their new house yet so it was fun to be there. We stayed up late talking.

Saturday we got a babysitter for the kids and went to the temple. We then came home and decided to get another babysitter (my friend’s sister) and we took a trip down memory lane. My friend lives in the same town where my hubby and I met and went to college. It was so fun to see the places where we met and have so many memories. It felt like a time warp. I saw myself so long ago and it was as if I was seeing into the future of me and my hubby with our three boys and great life. Surreal. We then ate at our favorite restaurant in the entire town and enjoyed such great conversation and lots of laughs. We haven’t met a family in our new town that we click with so well. That is hard to find and I cherish their friendship. We then let the kids play outside in the sprinklers while we took naps. I didn’t get one in since 1yo didn’t think a nap was a good idea. We sat around and chatted and I so enjoyed not having anything on my to do list and not feeling guilty at all. Then we drove around campus with our kids and showed 6yo where he was born and ate at a great burger joint. We left that evening after fun was had by all.

Hubby has a big day tomorrow. He is getting a new machine for his machine shop that he is starting up. We are excited. Things are on their way.

Tomorrow's Focus:
Read sabotaging thoughts and tell myself NO CHOICE. It shouldn’t be hard, should it? If I really want something all I have to do is wait until the next day when I can write it into my plan.
