Down Three Pounds
Well, fellow bloggers,
I can hardly believe it but I am down three pounds. As of today, I have successfully cut soda and Iced Tea out of my diet! I am watching my portion control, and am doing better with not over eating.
I have been trying to drink more water, but that is still a goal I am working on.
I have also started to drink Green Tea which is better for you and is supposed to help with your metabolism. I have to be careful to stop drinking it by 6 so that I can take my prenatal vitamins that the doctor wants me on for future children.
The Green Tea affects the body's ability to absorb folic acid. I would have never known that without my ladies at thebump.com. Love that place!
Every once in a while, I still allow myself a small cheat like a glass of strawberry or chocolate milk or lately, some mini Reese's PB eggs. I think allowing myself to have these small items quenches my snacking urge and also helps tremendously because I don't feel like I'm starving or giving up the things I love.
Thank you to everyone for their support. Please continue to keep holding me accountable and lifting me up in your prayers! Thank You!

Making a Change
I've decided to really try and make a change. I really want to lose weight. I know I need to exercise and I know I need to watch what I eat. Please help me stay accountable! :)
For now I'm going to post every day to help keep me on track, but eventually I'll probably post once a week.
Today- Down two pounds from last weigh in.
Positive-
Had fresh fruit at breakfast
Only drank one soda
Walked 1/2 a mile
Negative-
Wasn't very hungry at breakfast and overate at lunch and dinner because I was starving by then
Pants are very tight
Tomorrow's goal-
Work out for 30 minutes
Drink more water
Watch portion control

Cue Soapbox
"God counts the tears of the hurt. The woman came out of a man's rib, not from his feet to be walked on. Not from his head to be superior, but from the side to be equal. Under the arm to be protected, and next to the heart to be loved."
I am So BLESSED to have a loving and honest fiance! I pray EVERY day that God continues to bless and strengthen our relationship. I love Nick SO very much and I am so very grateful for everything he has done. I really do love him to the depths of my soul.
My heart is hurting for many dear families right now...broken and bruised by dishonesty..it's just not right. Why do people cheat/lie? WHY?
What the H3LL is wrong with people? Why do they think it's okay to cheat, lie, just drop their families?
So pissed that I've seen so many families destroyed in the past few months. Sometimes it's the fault of one or the other, sometimes its the fault of both.
I know every relationship has it's problems..but in my heart, soul, I believe there are just some lines you DO NOT CROSS.
And no amount of forgiveness, prayer, or holy water is going to make sleeping with someone else or sending dirty texts OK. Marriage MEANS something people!!!
I really pray that this country gains some freaking morals...
