Saturday, Week 9:

Woo Hoo!  Two more pounds gone!!  Hallelujah!!


Saturday morning is the perfect day to sleep in.  I slept in, if you call getting up at 3:00 a.m., 7:30 a.m., and then finally 9:30 a.m. sleeping in.  My little bitty chihuahua, Gidget, really had to go potty at 3:00 a.m.  At 7:30 a.m. she was just used to being up.  At 9:30 a.m. she was full of energy and she wanted me up.

Since I was up, I got dressed and headed out to do my exercises.  I used my 8 pound weights and did ten minutes of arm exercises, mixing them up and doing 3 sets.  I did 14 minutes interval training on the treadmill.  I walked 2 minutes to warm up.  Then I alternated 1 minute of walking and 1 minute of jogging for 10 minutes.  Ending with 2 minutes of walking and 1 minute cool down, totally 14 minutes.  I liked it.

After changing out of my exercise clothes, I cooked breakfast for the family.  We ate eggs over easy, bacon, biscuits and gravy.  I only ate 2 slices of bacon and only 1 biscuit but it was delicious!  After breakfast  I cleaned house, sweeping and mopping, scrubbing everything clean, and doing laundry.  I know I burned calories but I didn't document  it.

I ran errands after the house was clean ending with grocery shopping.  Now I am ready for tomorrow!!

Inspirational Thought:

Your father knows what you need before you ask him. So do not worry, saying 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today's trouble is enough for today. (Matthew 6:8b, 31-34)

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. (Matthew 11: 28-31)
