Fat Be Gone

     So my mom keeps hounding me to post more often.  I am going to make my best effort to post monthly.  I started the Pound Plunge Weight Loss challenge with my cousin and a few friends and I am down 9.6 lbs in two weeks.  I am on my way. After weighing in, I went straight over to the gym and worked out.  2 miles on the treadmill and 1 mile on the bike for a total time of 47 min.  I am also doing weight watchers.   Plus on Mondays, I am trying Yoga.  I hated it but paid for two more sessions to force myself to go.  I am so proud of my resolve and dedication to this.  I vow to lose 80 lbs even if it takes me a year.   My hope is to lose it by July 9th.  That will be 6 mos. and I think that is a reasonable goal as long as I keep at this.  My goal is to lose 3-4 lbs a week.  I am so thankful that my cousin asked me to do this because it was just the motivation that I needed. 
     In other news, Sunday I woke up to a broken fridge.  I had to miss church but lucky for me my Aunt had a fridge for me and my dad was able to help move the old one out and the new one in.  Not sure what I would do without my pops.  He is always there when I need him.  So tonight after the gym, I went to the store and replaced all my healthy groceries that I had lost in the broken fridge fiasco.  So glad that God makes a way for things.  Even though I missed church on Sun. morning, my momma, pops, grammie, and I all went to my Uncle's church.  Technically it is not my Uncle's anymore as he is retired and another great man has taken over.  However, it will always be Uncle Ron's church to me.  It was good to see all the family and friends there and be in the presence of the Holy Spirit. 
     On the school front, I have applied for PreK in the district for next year.  I would prefer the PreK at Davidson but I know God will place me where he wants me.  I am also taking the Early Childhood Sped test on Sat. with Lisa and fingers crossed that goes well so it will add to my options. 
     Sadly a friend from my church passed away last night.  I am very sad for his wife and family.  I know what it feels like to lose someone you love so much.  It is an ache that is so deep, you feel like it will never go away.  All I can say is it gets better with God.  I am praying that he will comfort Bro. Ron's family and give them peace.
     Lastly, my sis and bro n law are on Round Two of their first treatment to try and have a baby.  They should know soon if it worked.  If not, it looks like they will be going the route of IVF which is very costly.  Again I know, God will make a way for them.  He always provides.  I am praying it is in his will for them to have a child soon.   I want a baby niece!  A nephew would be good too!  ;-)
     I guess this is all for now.  I will leave you with this.  The other night, I had just finished doing 1 full hour on the treadmill and when I came upstairs, Payton was standing there.  I told him I just did an hour of workout and he said, "You look skinnier already esp. in your arms!"   Gotta love that kid!

Till next time,
