So I would like to apologize to all 7 of my followers for not blogging in the recent weeks. No good excuse, just letting other things distract me. You might be thinking, "Sara hasn't blogged in awhile, I wonder if she has fallen off the wagon?" I am happy to report that I have not! Below is a picture of some goals that Rick and I posted on our cork board months ago, probably in the fall. Notice that one of my goals is to lose 20 lbs...(I thought 20 lbs sounded more attainable then 100 lbs at the time)... well I am happy to announce that I am 1 lb away from reaching that initial goal! As of Friday, March 30, I have lost 19 lbs!
So whats next? The hubster decided to help me out when I got serious in January and has the next goal all ready for me for when I rip off the "LOSE 20 LBS" in glorious victory hopefully this week...here is what's underneath...
yeah, going for the gusto this time!
I had a very successful week last week and I give it all back to the Lord! Without Him none of this would be possible! Since we were on vacation a few weeks ago, I kind of lost the groove for logging my food, but am still finding success. I think that after 8 weeks of logging I might have actually learned some good eating habits and I have been seeking out the Lord more and more. I am still wearing the Body Bug to measure calories burned, and as long as I continue to lost weight, I think I will not record everything that goes in my mouth. If I start to gain, back to work logging food. A great scripture that I have come across that I think sums it up is:
Philippians 3:13-14
"Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken a hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead. I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus."
AMEN!
Total weight loss since January 7, 2012 - 19 lbs!
lots of stuff rolling around in my brain, more blogs coming!
