Dieting Update

I felt like I was in a blah about my dieting. I mean, my year mark was coming up and I wasn't losing like I wanted in order to meet a goal I had set. I wanted to lose 50 lbs in 1 year. I would have liked to lose 60, but I thought 50 was an attainable goal.

I now have 7 weeks left and have lost a total of 45 lbs. I think my goal of 50 lbs. will definitely be met and I'm working towards 60 lbs.

Even though the gym is getting old; I will be there 3 times a week in order to really push me to make the 60 lbs. mark.

My mom has lost 32 lbs., so I'm going to try to push her into making it to the 40 or 50 lbs. mark.

So, mom, get ready!!! We are on a mission (or atleast I put you on one too!).

Giving more than 100%

My mom sent this to me and I thought it was really neat and wanted to share.

From a strictly mathematical viewpoint:

What Equals 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%? Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all been in situations where someone wants you to give over 100% How about achieving 101%? What equals 100% in life?

Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these
questions:

If:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z is represented as:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26

Then:

H-A-R-D-W-O-R- K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%

And

K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

But,

A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

AND, look how far the love of God will take you

L-O-V-E-O-F-G-O-D
12+15+22+5+15+6+7+15+4 = 101%

Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that: While hard
work and knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there,
it's the Love of God that will put you over the top!

Dieting Woes

I have come to a weight loss plateau. For the past 3 weeks, I've gained a total of 2.2 lbs.

I can't seem to get it together and get back on track. I definitely don't want to stay on a weight gaining path.

I've lost 40 lbs so far and have 8 weeks until my 1 year mark. My goal is 50 lbs. in a year.

Wish me luck and prayer that I'll have the strength to stay on my diet and exercise faithfully.

This is my scale.....

Easter

We had a fun time with the Easter Egg Hunt yesterday. I think the kids really had a great time trying to find eggs. You can look at the pictures here.

Here's a picture of my Irises that bloomed just in time for Easter. I think they are beautiful.

Easter Egg Hunt

Tomorrow, we are having an Easter Egg Hunt at my house. I can't wait, I love doing things like this with my family. This is Giada's first Easter and even though she can't find eggs, she will be included. Here is her 1st Easter picture.

Spring Yard

It's that time of the year when I usually plant my pretty flowers all over my yard and in my flower pots.

So, this past weekend, I decided to do it. However, my mom was out of town. The minute she came home Sunday, I was ready to go plant/flower shopping.

We bought a ton of flowers to plant.

I love Gardening; however, I hate getting my hands dirty. My mom did a GREAT job planting them. I did help her, I meant I got all the plants ready for her to put in the hole once she dug them.

Anywho...my yard looks great and that makes me feel happy.

Thanks Mom, you're the BEST!!!!
