April 3rd:

Daily Comments:
Times certainly does fly!  It has been almost two weeks since I blogged last and I am worse for it.  I have gained two more pounds.  I thought I was ready to get back to my commitment but I guess not.

I am going to try again!!! 

First off I am going to stop counting the weeks as I have been doing.  How long this journey takes is not relevant.  The key is...I am on the journey. 

I am going to start making short range goals for myself.  There are 30 days in the month of April.  My goal this month is to lose 12 pounds.  I want to be healthy!  I want to lose this unwanted weight and feel good.  Summer is coming and I want to wear a swimsuit this summer and feel good wearing it.  I will let you know tomorrow if I found the strength or willpower to get out of the bed early enough to use my dumbbells and Kettlebells.  Pray that I do!!

Inspirational Thought:

Philippians 4:4-7

New International Version (NIV)

Final Exhortations

 ⁴ Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! ⁵ Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. ⁶ Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. ⁷ And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

 

Good stuff:

This is my grand baby, Arianna, seven months old now!! 

 

 

 

Keeping busy: 

Going to the shooting range has become a once a week trip for me and my shooting is improving!  

I purchased a Kel-Tec PF9, 9mm, handgun.  It is small and lightweight.  But the three times I have shot it, it has hurt the palm of my hand.  My dad shaved off some rough edges on the grip and magazine.  I bought a slip-on rubber grip that feels good.  I can not wait to go shooting again so I can try it out.  I hope it fixes the problem.  I am registered for two classes, "Intro to Defensive Pistol I" and "CHL"(Concealed Handgun License).  Fun stuff!!  I am having a good time... I think that is why my focus is not on eating better and exercising.  But I can do it all... right!!
