....I'm still HERE!! LOL
I've gotten of track with walking and my eating habits. It hasn't left my mind though and I'm hoping to start back up soon. I just find it hard with the garden and all, that I don't have time to get out there for a walk. But I NEED to MAKE time, so I'm going to just have to get up and go. :) I have been "exercising" out in the garden, but I know it is not the same. :) My weight has gone up 3 pounds too, so talk about discouraging and also getting me to think of getting back to WORK!! :)
Anyway, that is a tiny update from me and I hope the rest of you my friends have been doing better than me. :)
P.S I've kept up with my reading my Bible through in a year plan and it has been so good! I'm in the book of Psalms and Acts. :)
I can't do this alone, this keeps me walking in humility...

Monday morning - week 8
I'm discouraged this morning....
Weigh in - 169.4 up yet another pound. now I realized weight goes up and down because yesterday I was 168 even. Still I'm discouraged about it all. :( Two weeks ago I was 167 now I'm back up to 169. But sweet dh says not to be discouraged, he says its probably muscle, but I want to see the numbers go DOWN and not UP
I'm going to have to try and do things a bit differently....
For breakfast all I had was a smoothie made from homemade yogurt, banana, blueberries and a bit of br. sugar.
Anyway, this week, I will aim to get in 12 miles.
The Lord is keeping me humble, for I CAN"T do this on my own...
Have a blessed week! I'll hope to keep updated everyday, but right now I have to go and get the day started here. I'll catch up with you later on today, I hope!

Friday Afternoon Update
So another week has just about ended...
WALKING- counting from Sunday I got 10 miles in. Today i really felt like giving up! I thought I'd just do 1k and them 1M and then 2k and then decided I should just do the 2 miles. I knew I could do it with Jesus' help, but on my own I was more than ready to give up. So a little struggle, but with god's help I was able to keep to my goal. A cute moment while on the treadmill, my 4yo dd came down with me and was jumping on the tiny trampoline we have down there. I ran while she jumped, I was ready to give up before she did, but the giggles were sweet and I had a lovely time chatting with her. She is a sweetie. :)
EATING - I did fairly well, stayed away from the ice cream and cookies. For sweets I did enjoy chocolate milk a couple times. I'm looking forward to a bit of cake and ice cream tomorrow. :)
WEIGHT LOSS - nothing, I weighed myself this morning and I was 174.2, the very same weight I was at last Friday morning at the same time. I;'ll check my weight again on Monday and keep that as my check in weight day. :)
Over all, it has been a good week, Thanks for all of your encouragment and I look forward to doing this all again next week!
I can see how this is all going to keep me in humility, on my own I could NOT do this.
BIBLE READING - I'm staying on track!! It's been a blessing to be in the WORD every SINGLE day. :)
Blessings friends and see you next week!

Walking in Humility
Hubby and I were at church last night listening to a introduction to a parenting study we are going to be joining for the next number of weeks. One of the things that struck me was to walk in humility. I right away thought back to this new blog and decided I really wanted to change the name and have it REFLECT something spiritual as well. I realized I have goals for this new year and I WANT to remember that it will be only through our Lord Jesus that I can keep to these goals and not of myself. Also at the end of the year, I don't want to look back and think it was all about me and what I can do, but to thank the Lord Jesus for giving me strength to do this and for succeeding in this. Walking in humility is now the blog title and each time I see it, I'll be reminded that this is not about me, but about HIM.
To be honest, I was feeling like I'm on the top of the world and without struggle much I was going to do my walking and lose weight, but you know that is all wrong! Yes, back in 2010, I walked did 500 miles for the first time and lost weight without really trying. I felt great and thought wow, I can do this. 2011 came along and started out good, but then I became pregnant, I was thrilled mind you, I still kept the goal of walking 500 miles while pregnant or at least aiming to reach 400 before baby arrived, but God had other plans and I had to stop walking and then I just never got back into it. By the time my second trimester came along and the bleeding had stopped, we were preparing for my dad to have open heart surgery and I was milking a cow morning and evening and I also had our large garden to attend too, So my goal of walking went out the window, I just could not do everything! All my time and mostly ENERGY was used up.
Right now, we are waiting for our cow to freshen, so at the moment I don't have milking to do, but once she freshens, I'll be milking every evening along with my daughter and my dad will do the morning milking. He recovered very nicely from his surgery, praise God. My SPARE time is limited, but if I use it wisely, I know that I can do it.
So this brings me to this year, I don't know what 2012 holds for me, but with Him, I'm going to walk in humility and He is going to get all the credit, not me.
As for the "old" name, hubby and I were trying to think of something that used the letter WXY (didn't even try Z, I just didn't think I could come up with something) LOL because my first blog uses the letters ABC (A Beautiful Calling), so that is how we came up with that name. It was fun, but this is much better!
I'm happy and encouraged to have you join me on this journey.
