Happy Halloween

Daily comments:
I am having so much fun.  I look forward to every pound lost.  The t-shirt (above) has been hanging in the back of my closet for a few years and never been worn.  It was a little snug but it did fit.  I can't wait to wear it again when I have lost 10 more pounds.

Wow!  To honestly see this weight loss as a goal instead of just a dream.  It feels amazing!  Now if I can just get that goofy grin off my face....


Exercise:
I was feeling so lazy this morning and I did not want to exercise... but I did anyway.  Kettlebells and dumbbells for 15 minutes.  I must decide on 2 or 3 types of exercises that I can alternate daily to mix it up.  Mixing it up will also keep my exercising from plateauing and me from being bored.

Inspirational Thought:

Prov 3:5: Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.

Prov 3:6: in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.

Rom 12:2: Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Phil 4:6: Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

Sunday, Week 13:

Daily comments:
Beautiful Sunday!!  After worship Steve, Marty and I ate Mexican food at Gringos.  I had to rush back to the church building to be a host at a baby shower.  The shower turned out excellent.  I made the punch and hung a clothesline of baby clothes for decorations.  It was cute!!

Yesterday, I went shopping for new clothes.  It is the first time in years I have had fun shopping.  Here is a picture of me in my new clothes, one pants size smaller and one blouse size smaller.  I can not wait to go shopping in a few more weeks!!

Exercise:
Not today!  I was too busy with worship, a baby shower, and preparing my grandson, Anthony, for his up coming driving test.  We drove all over the neighborhood and on the freeway.


Inspirational Thought:

Deuteronomy 6:5-9

⁵ Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. ⁶ These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. ⁷ Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. ⁸ Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. ⁹ Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.
