Weight and Thanks

Well its Friday and like I promised here is my weight.  148.3.  This is on my bathroom scale.  I am hoping to get to 125.  With these #'s I need to lose 23.3 lbs!  I can do it.  And since my week of cleaning out my cabinets is almost over...healthy food here I come!  I have gotten up at 6am 3 or 4 times this week. I have done a workout everyday.  My muscles feel it and that feels good.  I feel great, a little tired though. Saturdays will be my day off but I will probably still try and do some sort of moving around.  Don't want to catch the lazy bug!

So, I talked a bit about doing 101 goals and I started writing them and then stopped.  I guess that makes goal #1 to finish my goals.  =) 

I would like to leave you with some things I am thankful for.  I have been feeling negative this week so I am trying to focus on the positive.  These are in no particular order and I have many more thanks, these are just a few.

1.  The sun.  I desperately need sun or I get depressed and super tired.

2.  My husband.  He works hard for us.  I have the opportunity to be a stay at home mom because of this.  He puts up with so much at work and I don't know how he does it!

3.  Coffee.  I am not sure I really need it because I am usually still tired after drinking it.  But, the flavor and how it makes me pretend to be more awake haha. 

4.  Used baby clothes.  Silly, I know, but I have barely had to buy anything for my son and he has grown so quickly I cant imagine how much money we have saved.

5.  The Internet.  I have found great recipes that will save us money in the long run.  I have gotten great ideas for many things in my life. 

6. A bed.  I can't imagine not having one and I know there are people without one.  Mine is not even that great I just couldn't imagine sleeping anywhere else.

7.  My small group of friends. I don't like drama and that's what big groups of people have always brought me. 

8.  My van.  Without it I would be stuck at home.  It fits a huge amount of things or people and I never have to worry about room. 

9.  My kids.  Even though there are days I feel like escaping, I still appreciate them.  They keep me young.  Without them I would not have the challenge of being as responsible as I am with them.  And my life is never boring with them in it!

10.  My church.  I was worried I would not find a place I could feel completely comfortable at.  They have great opportunities, awesome pastoral staff, it's extremely friendly there and I could not ask for more.  God knew exactly what I needed and fulfilled my needs.

I enjoyed reading this! I too have been a bit down. Sometimes, it's hard to place, and others I know. Yes, too many people is chaotic. What gets to me sometimes is that we can communicate and have these similar situations and occurances, yet are so far away. I guess that's where looking at the positive helps, the computer, our phones, and just knowing that there is somebody else who lives and cares. Thanks!
