Challenge to myself!

Okay, last week I gave up chocolate.  Went well!  The only time I cheated was when the TCBY people came by with free yogurt samples. 

This week I'm drinking LOTS of water!!!  Gotta get better with that!  My goal is to drink at least four bottles a day.  This is four more than I usually drink!  Also, I need to continue to limit my chocolate.  That is such a HUGE weakness!

My challenge for the month of April is to lose five more pounds. 

I reached my previous goal by March 24th!  On the 24th my weight was 162.5.  :)  So now I want to be under 160!  I know that this is something I can accomplish with HIS help!!!!!

Since my last post, our family has made some changes.  I am now a Senior Stylist at About You Color Salon.  I LOVE MY JOB!!!  It's not really like a "job" when you love what you do and also the people you work with!

Being busy has given me an excuse to slack off.  I've got to get back into the groove of being a working Mommy and now a full-time working Mommy of TWO kids, not just one!  It will get easier, I know, it's just taking some time to adjust. 

Another goal for this week is to EAT AT HOME. 
Not only is that better for me, but it's also better for us as a family!  I love that time around the dinner table with my family. 
Eating at home won't be so bad if I will make myself plan ahead.  Much of my problem is that I don't know what's for dinner, so then I just do the quickest thing and drive through somewhere.  I need some quick and EASY meals or EASY crockpot recipes.  Please message me if you have any suggestions.  I really like to cook, but for now, the fewer ingredients, the better!

A very special friend had a verse on her heart last week and shared it with me.  It's very applicable for my journey!

"After you have suffered a little while, he will restore, support, and strengthen you and he will place you on a firm foundation."   --1Peter 5:10

God is good ALL the time!!!  Have a wonderful week!
