One less iron....

As part of my description, I mentioned having too many irons in the fire. Well, as of yesterday, I have one less iron. My reign as "Cheer Coach" has come to an end. I haven't noticed any extra time on my hands yet, but should this summer when I don't have practice all the time!!

Now I have one less excuse for spending quality time with God. He and I have been talking about children. I will share this with you in blogs to come.

I am thinking of running a 5K this summer. Any pointers?

rest

Ok, any suggestions on how to get a toddler to go to bed by himself??? What about a dog who gets up 2-3 times in the night to eat dog biscuits?? When do I get to sleep through the night again? One more question, when will I get used to the time change? I hate getting out of bed when it's dark.....

Howl-o-ween

We had fun trick-or-treating. It was the stopping of the candy eating that was not fun.....Sweet Pea, not me. I have limited myself on indulging in the sweets. This is the best photo of him I could catch. (Papaw too!) The full length is with my cousin.

Let me tell you about her. She is a child of God who has been called to minister in Romania in December. Thus, the costume. For trunk or treat at her church, they decorated the truck to resemble that of an old gypsy wagon to bring awareness to her cause. Please pray for her journey and her mission work. God has great things in store for her.

Ok, so my last post said I would have pictures by the end of the week. I did I think.....forward 3 1/2 months. I am still down those 2 pounds, if that counts. However, I have a new found motivation. Prom.

Yes, you read right. The big P word. Being a junior homeroom teacher, I not only get to plan prom, but chaperone as well. Yippeee! (insert sarcasm here) My consultant suggested making a storyboard/picture board to give me a visual of what I like and my goals, etc. I like this....I always did like paper dolls and scrapbooking. :)

Anyone like to join me in my efforts to lose a few pounds? I could always use a buddy considering the hubby is 5' 10" and weighs maybe 135 soaking wet......Me, well, not so much.

A dieting we will go....

Yes, I know, it's an ugly word, but someone has to say it. I have officially begun a descend toward last summer's wardrobe. I have been very unhappy about my weight for some time now and my short term goal is to fit into last year's back to school clothes by the start of this school year.

I have made some progress for week one. I am down 2 lbs!!! Not much I know, but I hope to learn how to eat properly and not to give in to Dr. Pepper for my stressful times. However, with coaching full-time this year, I will have many stressful times. Any suggestions you would like to make for the stress, please feel free.

I should have new pics posted by the end of the week. I finally worked on them!!!
