I am Woman... Hear me roar!

I am so excited! I went in to wi this morning feeling like I had probably gained.  I ate out quite a bit this week (2-3 times, I can't remember LOL) and it was all fast food. :-/.  I was pretty sure that the scale was going to hate me.  I weighed before I left (I know "bad kimmy") and it showed me weighing about what I did last week when I got home from WW. So I figured now loss or a small gain..... Well was I surprised! I lost 1.8 lbs.  :)  I earned my 30 lb star- -31 lbs to be exact! Wowzer!!  This puts me also just 1 lb away from my 10% and also my mid July goal of 50 lbs- only 19 lbs to go. :) :)  Granted I still have 164 lbs to go LOL But that is a much smaller number then 195 lbs.  That's where I started.  When I started this journey in Feb. I was over 300 lbs.  323.2 to be exact.  I had no high expectations of myself because, as many of you know, I have been a Weight Watchers member SEVERAL times. I've never had the motivation to make the program work for me before. I'd lose a few lbs and then gain and gain and gain.  Then I'd just give up instead of redoing the program to make it work.  So this time I went all in. I bought a digital food scale and between that and my measuring cups I make it work.  The food scale has been a life saver.  I also drink a ton of water.  I'm not really even sure how much I drink now, but I know it's a lot because that is all I drink now, except for the small amount of un-sweetend tea that I occasionally drink.  I have been coke (the legal kind) free for 2.5 weeks now.  I'm pretty proud of that.  So now I've added 2 more marbles to my lbs lost jar.  Total of 31 marbles.

So since I've lost 31 lbs and I am in love with the idea of being a  Proverbs 31 woman I thought I'd post a little scripture. :)
                          Proverbs 31:10-12

10	Who can find a virtuous woman?          For her price is far above rubies.
11	The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her,          so that he shall have no need of spoil.
12	She will do him good and not evil          all the days of her life.

Long over due update!

I see that it's been a while since I've blogged.  I started a website and was going to start blogging there, but have decided that will be for pictures and this will be my main blog site.  :)

In the weight department- I am now down 28.6 lbs! I ate almost all of my weekly points (I had 5 left) this past week and earned 23 activity points and I had an awesome weigh in! I was down 2.4 lbs. I even went out of town and still managed to lose. :)  I am 1.4 away from 30 lbs, 3.4 lbs away from my 10 %, and 21.4 lbs away from my 50 lb goal by Vacation Bible School week (about 9 weeks away).

I went to my sister's last weekend. I weighed in a day early and had lost 1 lb.  I went thursday and came home on Saturday.  I had such a great time.  I miss getting to hang out with them more often.  It was nice getting away and just hanging out.  My niece Kirstyn made state in track so we traveled to Midwest City, Ok to watch her run in the 3200 relay.  I was sad to leave and can't wait to see them hopefully soon.

Now on the job front.  As many of you know I have worked in children's ministry/child care at Coulter Rd. Baptist Church for the past 3 years.  I finally made it my church home in August.  I got the approval to start my new job as the Children's Ministry Intern/Assistant this past week.  I'm really excited.  My degree is in Christian Ministry/Children's ministry so this is pretty exciting.  I am trusting God to guide me and I'm just enjoying life.  I love ministering to the sweet Preschoolers at CRBC and am so thankful that God allows me to be such an important part of their little lives.
