Been awhile...

Hello! Sorry it has been so long since I have posted. It feels like everytime I would go to post, something came up...2 kids, 2 dogs, family in town, a house to keep clean! Anyways I am back to give you an update!

I am doing really well on my diet, it feels so good to be losing weight. I have lost a total of 18.7lbs in 7 weeks. It is so nice to put on clothes and have them be just a little bit looser! I know I have a long way to go but I try to focus on smaller goals, like loosing 25lbs is my first goal.

The one thing that I am really struggling with is exercise. For awhile there I was excited to go for a nice long walk or to get on the elliptical but now its like torture for me to want to do it. Maybe cuz it's July and its so hot out, I don't know but I gotta get back to it cuz I feel a million times better when I am regularly exercising.

On a brighter note...Jason's brother and his family are here from TX this week. Their kids are 2 and 4, it is so nice to have all the cousins together. Yesterday we spent several hours at the zoo then went to my in laws for a picnic. I just love spending time with family. It stinks that we don't all live closer together but I guess it makes the times we are together more special! We are planning a trip to Waldameer on Sunday. This will be Logan's first experience with it. I have a feeling he will be a bit cautious....We shall see!

Thanks again everyone for your support, I really appreciate it...It truly does keep me going!

What a weekend!

We had the BEST weekend. I just love being outside. Saturday we went to a picnic at my sisters house and it was so much fun. When we got home the neighbor was setting of really awesome fireworks, Logan was in his glory watching them. Then today we were at my parents all afternoon. We were in the pool some and just enjoyed eachothers company and being outside. We then went to Jason's parents house, it was quite relaxing sitting outside and enjoying the beautiful evening. I don't want this weekend to end, it was just perfect!

One thing that was not perfect was my diet. I will just say that I totally veered off of my diet this weekend. I certainly could have been much worse though. I didn't go back to the way I used to eat, I just ate some stuff I shouldn't have (like a brownie today!). I promise that I also have not have the motivation to exercise this week either. I love going on walks usually but for some reason this weekend I just didn't want to do it.

I don't know why I do this to myself. It only gets me down on myself. I will not let it get me down though. I am going to use it as motivation to keep going strong. Either way, I will weigh myself on Friday and let ya know where I stand.

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend also, I praise God for our independence!!
