Drum roll please……..

Finally, after a couple weeks of being at a stand still…….. I got on the scale this morning and it gave me a number not just any number………. It told me that avoiding stress does matter….. it told me that eating right and exercising does matter… because I lost 2 pounds this week!!!

I am now only 2 pounds away from my next mini goal! And 2 pounds away from loosing 50 pounds total. I also only have 3 pounds to loose for my Memorial day challenge. I can do this, that is easy enough! I hope to meet that mini goal next week.
I just have to continue doing what I did this week, stay away from stress, which at work is difficult lately. I worked really hard this week to do that and I feel lighter, not only physically but mentally as well! As I sat in church with my students this week, the priest’s homily was about the two types of prayers. There is the thank you prayer and the help me prayer. You can bet as I sat there I said a few please help me prayers.  Then this morning after weighing in I sent up a big thank you prayer! Thank you for getting me through this week and helping me get my loss!!!!

Have a great day everyone!
