My Lenten Focus

Happy Monday!! First I wanted to thank everyone who sent me support regarding my last post.  I always forget to reply to your comments, so thank you all!  I am feeling much better about everything and I am back on track mentally and physically. Next, I wanted to let everyone know that I am taking a short break from blogging.   This is just for Lent.  No, I am not "giving up blogging for Lent"  lol  I am just adding different things in my life during Lent, and I need to take a break from other things.   I am doing 2 online Lenten studies, my sister and I are doing a Book Club/Study on The Prodigal Son,  work is crazy busy making room for all of all the snow cancellations we have had recently,  and I am really busy with Choir since we will be singing all Holy Week and learning new songs.  I just feel a little overwhelmed and need to focus in on my weight loss and Lent right now.   I am stopping a few social media things too, because I love them and I can spend 30 minute eas

Doubt

I'm still here....just been blah lately.  Last night I took the time and got caught up on all of my blogs.  I hate being behind, because I miss whats going on and get the info after the fact.   I don't know what's wrong with me lately.  The weather has been terrible.  Last Wednesday we woke up to about 12 new inches of snow.  The temperatures have been close to freezing, and although I have lived here all my life and am used to this, I am getting a bit tired of it.  Sigh!  I have a few rooms in my house that are in desperate need of cleaning, and that makes me feel stressed.  I haven't started organizing my photos like I wanted to.   My energy levels are nil.  I am in a slump!!  I just kind of feel like my life is spinning out of control.  I need to gather all this mess up and offer it up to God and beg for help!   I've been off track with my food, which is probably the main reason for all the other stuff.   I hate how my eating can dictate the rest of my lif

Coffee and A Baby

On Monday, I met my sister Connie and my daughter Blayne out for coffee.  We have Monday's off and Blayne took off to recuperate from her Super Bowl Party :) We met at one of our favorite Coffee Shops, the Brew Ha Ha .  I think I've mentioned it in a past post and maybe even posted some pictures, but you're going to get some more anyway :) This is our little area :)  My brunch, Quiche Lorraine, a little Mandarin Orange cup, and my coffee in this adorable mug :)  All of the mugs in the shop are different.  You never know what you're gunna get!  If you know me, you know that I love a cute mug, so I just love that! This little dog was just so cute! I'm pretty sure it was for sale too! The merchandise area! So eclectic! These Valentine mugs were so pretty! I thought these mugs were just beautiful and so unique! We had such a nice time!  Nothing is better than family and coffee :)   ~*~*~*~*~*~

Hello February!

Happy February!  I know it's already three days into the month, but I am just getting around to getting this post up....late as usual! My WW weigh-in was this past Friday.  I was happy with my weigh in, because as you know I've been losing and gaining repeatedly since Christmas.  I hope this will help motivate me to stick with my points and start to see the numbers go down on the scale :) This is my start to February!  14 pounds down is not to good considering I started in October, but at least I am down something instead of up :)   No more up and down for me!!  I'm ready to really do work!   I made my February goals to help me stay on track through Valentines Day.  Holidays are killer for me.  I let it all go and over over over indulge because of these reasons....... 1  It looks and tastes so good.  2  It's a holiday, and you have to.   3  I deserve it because I've been good. Then it triggers all my cravings all over again and it's week
