Weigh in #6

Well this week was a set back. I had my first gain of +1lb. Now to get back on track and kick some butt for next weeks weigh in!!

Hungry Halloween

I am watching all the commercials for the Halloween candy that is out as well as all the super yummy recipes that are online.

My son and middle daughter are going to be Trick or Treating on Monday and I know the temptation is going to be OVERWELMING!!.

I am trying to come up with some low calorie candy ideas. If you have some that would be helpful, let me know:)

As to my weight loss this week I am not sure how my weigh in will be on Monday?! I have had a pretty non-productive week when it comes to sticking to my diet and counting and tracking my points. It doesn't help that my little boy has been sick all week so we haven't done anything but watch movies and cuddle. I am not going to complain...I will take some cuddling any day!

More lunch ideas...

This is one of my favorites!!

"There are so many things and people to Pray for"

With Thanksgiving coming I am really finding myself very emotional and feeling the need to Pray MORE lately...

"Everyone we come in contact with daily is struggling with something.
* A job
* A spouse
* A sickness
* A death
* Their weight
* Stress

Psalm 55:22 comes to mind.

Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall.

I am Thankful for so many things this year I can't even begin to start a list for you. I would like to say how Thankful I am for my health though. I know that God gave my this body to treat with repect and honor. I feel by doing this I am giving glory to God for the life he has given to me:)

I am a 33 year old mother of 3 children and a wife to my husband of 15 years...and hopefully Many more years to come!

God bless each of you today and always,

Michelle:)

P.S.
Looking forward to Monday's Week #6 weigh in:)

It's what's for lunch!

Campbell's Soup at Hand: 80 calories, total fat 2g, Dietary fiber 2g. These are so nice for when you are on the go and need something quick! Just microwave and put the sipping lid on and you are good to go.

Turning what "if" into I "can"

I have stumbled over my fair share of personal failures in my life. Trying diet after diet with little or no sucess, or just giving up because I was bored or frustrated with the results so far.

This time is different...

I know I don't do everything right. But for once I have given myself permission to not be "perfect".

I have banned what "if" from my vocabulary.

No more what "if" I had exercised today?...
What "if" I had choosen yogurt over that bag of chips?..
What "if" I had just stuck with my diet for one more day?

I now say each morning I "CAN"...

I "CAN" do this for my health...
I "CAN" do this for my family..
I "CAN" do this for MYSELF.

Each day is another huge accomplishment for YOU!!

Keep telling yourself each do that you CAN do this!

Have a wonderful day everyone:)

Mrs. Perfection meet Mrs "Me"

I find myself with this vision of how I will look when I get to my ideal goal weight...Perky breasts, small little waist and a smile that never leaves my cute little face. Realistically I will have shrunken saggy boobs from being stretched to kingdom come and back during my 3 pregnancies and that's the first thing that gets smaller when I start losing weight:P. I will probably still think my butt and hips are still to big and I am pretty sure I will still think I am "fat". I really hope my idea of "perfection" is content with the new and improved "Me". My new and improved self will be content with how much I have accomplished during this journey, be thankful for the extra energy that I will have each day to enjoy activities with my husband and kids. Love MYSELF no matter what the number on my fancy scale says or what number my tag says inside my designer jeans. I will love myself for ME and be Grateful for the smile that never leaves my face because of this goal that I have accomplished!! "We can do all things through him that gives us strength!!"
