7 Pounds and a Motivational Pep Talk

And I'm not talking about the Will Smith movie that came out a few years ago.

I am talking about the amount of weight I have lost! (And I don't intend to go looking for it! hehe)

I was really surprised when I weighed seeing as it has only been about 3 weeks of really exercising. I have been walking on and off, but just recently started the elliptical. Zach and I have been cutting back on all that we eat for a little while though, so maybe that has helped some. : )

I ask that you pray for me as I know I will (and already am) tired every day just from work. I ask you to pray for me always to exercise when I just don't feel like it or have no motivation. I have to say though, right now, I have so much motivation. I picture so many good and positive things, and I intend to keep that up!!

It's up to all of you on my down days to lift me up! That's what friends and family are for, right? I also know that several of you are also needing motivation on many levels. Maybe it's planning a wedding (Jenna), or school (Jenna, Jacob, Natalie, Kasee, and Zach), or you have a classroom of children to motivate (Myself and my cousin, Lauren.) There are probably more that I am not even thinking of right now. I am thinking of all of you and lifting you up in my prayers for some good ol' motivation mo-jo! : )

So, in what area of your life are you needing motivation?

Valentine's Day and the Quickest Weekend Ever

Valentine's morning I treated myself to a heart-shaped chicken biscuit from Chick-fil-a. They were BOGO free AND I got a survey for a free chicken sandwich. That in and of itself made my day! : ) Friday evening Zach and I tried to go out for Valentine's Day. We thought we were early enough to beat the rush, but it turned out we weren't. We ended up going back home with a quick stop through Donut Bank to get dessert and then we had a DiGiorno pizza and watched the Olympics. Can you feel the romance? Haha. Yummy Whoopie Pie! My Valentine! Saturday morning began gloriously at 9:20 a.m. It seems like it's been forever since I slept that late, but it was wonderful! I met my friend, Jennifer, and he

Christmas Eve

Our Christmas festivities started with Zach's family on Christmas Eve! We opened presents and ate! I'll let the pictures do most of the talking! As you can see, Christmas is so more magical when there are little ones to spoil! : ) Mrs. Claus house shoes from Nana and Poppy! Mmmmm, paper! We got Zach's dad a long magnet on wheels. We hope he liked it!! Haha, it was one of those gifts that was more of a necessity I think! She was excited! We are glad she liked it! We got Zach's mom a record player that is a 5-in-1 system! Isaiah's sweater we got him! Its pockets are in the shape of monkey hands too, so I couldn't resist how cute it was! He is a cute little monkey too! Book set from us! Love If You Give A Mouse.... series! He is saying. "Ohhh, paper! I love that!" Make-up set from us! He looooved the paper! Isaiah opening his Leap Frog laptop from us! He lik

Ten on Thursday

1. Zach is on Spring Break this week! Even if it is just from his one class, we still enjoyed it! I actually got to have him with me all last night! 2. I am almost done with my first week in third grade. So far, so good! The kids seem to really like me and I'm becoming rather fond of them as well! 3. I was working out last night and accidentally kicked Nellie in the side of her head. She is okay, but Zach may still be dying of laughter! I felt awful and was trying to pick her up as she was trying to scurry away from me. She must have thought I did it intentionally! Poor baby! She got lots of hugs and kisses after that though! 4. We have kept our sink free of dirty dishes for over a week now! This may not sound like such a feat, but trust me, when you don't have a dishwasher, it is! 5. Tomorrow is the "Spring Fling" carnival at my school. I am going to help set it up after school, which should be fun! 6. Warrick County School Corporation announced this past week that t
