Weight Watchers Update

Things are going mighty slow with the weight loss, but I am not giving up.  The first week was wonderful.  I lost 8.2 pounds.  The second week, a big disappointment, as I only lost 1.8 pounds.  This week, only 2.0 pounds.  Still, that is 12 pounds in three weeks.  But it makes me frustrated.
God blessed me with a new friend last year, Christin.  Once you get to be my old age, 42, you don't really expect to find a new friend!  But Christin gave me some really awesome advice after sad week two.  A quote, "Every loss is a win."  How awesome is that?  So, onward and downward!

100 Happy Days 13/100

So a hundred years ago I lost 150+ pounds on Weight Watchers.  I kept it off for five years and then gained that back, plus.  On January 2 I started WW again.  My dear friend Christin gave me some inspiring words when I was dismayed by my second week loss of only 1.8lbs after having a loss of 8.2 the first week.  "Every loss in a win."  I am going to keep that on my heart each week!  Especially tomorrow, when I weigh in for the third time.

As I Near the End of My First Week...

on Weight Watchers, I have to admit I weighed in already.  I figured that last week I weighed in on Wednesday night, so I thought it wouldn't hurt to weight myself now.  So the scale says I lost 8.2 pounds!  That is pretty exciting.  It might seem impossible, but you have to remember I weight A LOT!  So weight comes off faster at first.  I also will wait to record this on WW because I set my weigh-in day as Thursday and I can't figure out how to change it!

2014

A new year!
I have to say that this year has a much better number.
Look at the number 2014.  Isn't that so much better looking than 2013.
2013 was a tough year.  I guess all years are tough though. Until we get Home.
For 2014 I have set a goal of reading 310 books.  Last year my goal was 300 and I read 306.  310 is daunting, but I gotta try, right?
The other thing I am trying this year is Weight Watchers. My current weight is 338 pounds.
Another goal of mine is to follow the Presbyterian Church (USA) Common Book of Worship's Daily Prayer.  Yeah, there's a APP for that!
I am also going to try this.
During the first week, I am to list seven things for which I am grateful.
So here are my 7 things:
1.  My Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ
2.  My mom
3.  My friends
4.  My jobs
5.  My cats
6.  My home
7.  My car
Now the deal is that you are to demonstrate gratitude for one of those things everyday.  How, how, how can I fully show my gratitude for Jesus Christ?   That is something that I need to do every single day.  But how?  I can start by trying to live as He did while he was here, physically, on earth.  I can also do little things to show others the way to Him.
So 2014 is off and running.
Don't know what it will bring, but I do know, that God will be with us, through it all.
