My Kitchen

This also faces me today...  What a way to start a Monday!  






I'm off to make a difference!

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!

Posting for Angie - Wednesday

This morning I made another goal of getting 3 miles in today.  I did it!!  I almost didn't, but I decided to hit the treadmill even though it was after 9pm. 

Sweet wise, I'm doing well, still have cravings now and then, but so far so good.

I'm not keeping a record of everything I eat, but maybe I should! 

Breakfast - oatmeal with cut up apples in it, bit of br. sugar and milk
Lunch - homemade macaroni and cheese, peas and a lovely salad
Supper - some rye toast with almond butter and homemade raspberry jam, an apple and a bowl of raisin bran.

I feel hungry now, but I'm not going to eat anything until breakfast time tomorrow!

Water - I have no problem drinking water.  :D

Let's keep encouraging each other!!

The Lord bless you and keep you;  The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;  The Lord lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace.
Num. 6:24-26

Monday evening week7

Last week slipped by fast...  Not sure why, except I had some sewing projects that kept me busy in my spare moments.  I made myself and my big girls swimsuits.  :)  Plus a bag for Becca's piano/violin books. 

Anyway, my weigh in this morning was nothing to be excited about...  I was up a pound from last week!  168.6, last week I was 167.2.  I shall not let that discourage me and I will just keep pressing on.

I also did not meet my goal of 12 miles, I got in just in 8.4 miles.  This week I'll try and do 3 mile starting tomorrow until Friday.  I had a work-out today mucking a large calf pen in the barn.  :D

I had a really stiff/sore neck on Wednesday and today it is finally feeling much better.  I had to see the chiro...

Anyway, I have sick children here, so I shall see how the rest of this week goes!

Blessings and thanks so much for your comments.  :D

Quick Monday Morning Note

Weigh in today.....  167.2!!   That is two pounds lower then last week!!!  Yay!!

My goals for this week is to get in 12 miles.  I didn't meet my goal of 14 miles last week, I only got in 12.5 instead. 

I have to be quick here, lots to do and it is already after 10:00am.  :)

I have one big PRAISE to share though!!  Yesterday, our oldest daughter was baptized.  It was a beautiful morning at church and she looked so happy.  :)  I'm looking forward to watching her blossom and grow in the Lord.  It makes our hearts rejoice to see her take this step.  Last summer we would not have dreamed this was going to happen, we had some challenging times, but the past few months we have witnessed changes and all I can say is the Lord is so GOOD!!  We have had many changes here and since then we have really seen the Lord working in our family here.  Thank you, LORD!!  You are so Faithful!!

Anyway, I hope to be back later....

Week 5 - Wednesday Evening

Another day ended....

Two miles in for me today.

Reading in Leviticus, lots of instruction on how to sacrifice and how it all was to be done.  It has been mentioned a few times how these offering were a sweet smelling savour unto the Lord.  I can't help thinking what a smell, burning flesh and blood....   It was all a shadow of what was to come though.  It has been interesting reading.

I allowed myself 2 cookies today!  LOL

So far it has been a good week....
