Happy Birthday to me!

Another year has come and gone.  27 was good, but I am going to make 28 the best year ever!!  I had a great day with my parents yesterday, bought some life insurance (haha), and then my parents took me out to dinner at Salt Grass!!  YUM! I love that place.  I did pretty good with dinner.  I ordered my normal steak and garlic mashed potatoes, but I only ate half of all of it.  I also didn't have cake for my birthday.  Instead I bought some of the Weight Watcher desserts.  They can be found in the freezer section.  At Wal-Mart they are by the Smart Ones meals.  I bought the cookie dough sundae which is cookie crust, low fat ice cream, chocolate syrup, and some cookie dough on top.  4 points plus! :)  The brownie ones are good and my mom actually went and bought the cake one that I am going to try tomorrow. LOL  I haven't tried a dessert yet from weight watchers that I don't like.  They have ice cream bars, cups, and sandwiches that are great too.  My faves are the Cherry Cheesecake ice cream sandwiches (2 points plus) and the Cookies and cream ice cream bars (4 points plus). It's so nice to be able to have dessert when I want to.  Of course with WW you aren't limited to eating just their foods, but it's nice to not have to bake and also to not have to try and figure the points.  It's already on the package. :)

My weigh in this past Friday was great.  I was down 2.2 lbs.  :)  I hit a 15 lb weight loss.  So stoked.  That leaves me 1 lb away from my first mini goal which is 5% of my body weight.  I am currently at 308 and my 5% is 307.  I also decided that instead of making 1 huge goal (e.g. 140 lbs when I am finished) that right now I would make some mini goals.  My first of course is the 5%.  After that I am trying to lost 70 lbs. by VBS time.  I've lost 15 so I only have 55 lbs more to go.  It works out to an average of about 3.3 lbs a week.  I think that if I track everything I eat and work out more then I should be just fine.  After that 70 lbs. then I will make more goals.  I added trackers to the side of this page so that you can keep up with my progress if you would like.

School started back today and I am absolutely exhausted.  I also have 3 papers I need to write.  Well 2 papers and a power point.  I know I can do it, I just lack motivation sometimes. LOL  I also have a boat load of sewing projects that I need to work on.  BUT before I can do that I need to find my sewing chair and my bedroom for that matter. LOL  It's a giant cluttered mess.  I also have a booth at a Vendor show this Saturday and then a team meeting with my awesome Scentsy Sisters at Ruby Tequila's.  So looks like this week and next weekend will be crazy busy.

As if that isn't all enough along with some new job responsibilities at work, I am taking the FAITH class that my church is offering.  Basically we are learning the appropriate ways to approach people about the Gospel and to try and help them to reach a decision about their faith.  At first I was skeptical, but I signed up anyway.  Last night was the overview class and by the end I knew I had to do it. I'm nervous about it, but I know that God will guide me through it.

Now I'm off to watch my Tuesday night shows.
