The past two weeks I have been battling health issues and haven't really had the energy to do more than go to work and come home. I'm hoping I'm turning a corner, because I finally have extra time in the afternoon to exercise. Please pray with me that these health issues will settle down and I can get to work.
As for weight loss, it has been up and down bc of the nature of my issues. Yesterday when I weighed, I finally lost weight again, so that was encouraging. I still have another couple of weeks in this month, I'm going to try and discipline myself to get things going again.

Thanks for your help and support. I certainly need it. Now off for a chilly walk before I go watch our boys win our North State tournament!

As I finished out January I had only met half of my monthly goal. However, it was still down from when I started. The last week of January I was sick, stressed about money, and busy finishing out our Jr. High Basketball season.
I've known for a while how stress impacts me, but I discovered another way that it affects me. It affects my digestion and therefore my weight.
As the week finished up, I got paid, could go to the doctor and Jr. High basketball was finished, I finally had good results on the scale  The frustration I was feeling about my weight not moving, was being caused by my stress. I've got to find a way to stop letting things in life stress me if I'm going to achieve my big goal.
As of this morning, two days into February, I lost four more pounds. So, from January 5th to February 2nd,  I've lost a total of 6.6lbs. This is what I need to do each month to reach my weight loss goal by the end of the year.
I can do this. I just need to stay:
1. Praying and Seeking guidance
2. Motivated
3. Stress free

There are probably a couple of other bullet points I should add.  

I'm hoping for a great February, but its gonna be challenging because on Feb. 19th, it will be the first anniversary of losing my Momma to stupid cancer. I wish she could see my progress. She would be so proud.
