Weigh In Results

Today was my first official weigh in. I have been periodically checking my weight, but today is the first deadline. So I have lost 6 1/2 pounds. Woo hoo! Others may not be exited but I am. The reasons why I am so happy are as followed: I didn't workout for like 2 1/2 of the 5 weeks because I was really sick and couldn't breath (I have asthma so it was like torture), I also continued to eat out periodically (although I have been trying to eat healthier), and I am below the weight I was when I got pregnant with Kaelie. I am so happy. It could be all the endorphins but either way I hope it keeps up.

Ideally I would like to be below what I weighed when I got pregnant with Izebelle, which is a little over double what I've lost so far. I am hoping I can do it because I will hopefully workout the entire 5 weeks this time. Next weigh in is on April 28, which is right when we leave for Utah for a trip. So maybe a slimmer me will be rewarded with a vacation.

So, a side note. I have been thinking about a lot of tragic things lately. Sometimes life gets nearly unbearable. Its hard to know where to turn and sometimes we may feel very lonely. We read this scripture tonight as a family and I thought about the one person we can always turn to who truly knows suffering and will always comfort us. We were reading in 3 Nephi chapter 11. Jesus appears to the Nephite people shortly after they see a sign confirming His death. Jesus says this: (verse 11) And behold, I am the light and the life of the world; and I have drunk out of that bitter cup which the Father hath given me, and have glorified the Father in taking upon me the sins of the world, in the which I have suffered the will of the Father in all things from the beginning."

I hope that if anyone is suffering or feels alone that they not only turn to the Savior for comfort but also always feel free to call me.

Have a great weekend everyone
