Woohoo! Progress!

In the midst of cleaning my house top to bottom (and getting rid of tons of trash, organizing, and fifteen or so bags of clothes sorted to go to our church garage sale) for exercise and eating on plan, I managed to drop over three solid pounds last week! Eating 1850 calories a day! I usually lose between .5 and 1.5 pounds each week, but the constant activity in cleaning and organizing seems to have burned a ton of calories. I weighed in at 195.2 and have been solidly in the 195's for several other weigh-ins. Given I was over 200 a week or so ago, this is great progress.

I'm continuing to follow my plan and moving ever closer to my goal *cough*purse*cough*, remaking the habits I got out of - if I'm honest - got out of a few months into Seth's pregnancy. I have lost weight postpartum, about 20 more pounds, and yet every single one was a struggle against apathy, regains, splurges... I feel comfortable now that I am finally back where I want to be, when it comes to the mental work of weight loss. My house in is order, figuratively and literally, I have a working schedule for Peter's new hours that is a blessing to me, I am happy and healthy, my kids are doing well... Everything is aligning in the way I was hoping. This is nothing short of a miracle from God in my life. I have not been able to do this alone, and constant prayer and prioritizing what is really important in my day has made the difference.

I am going to continue my eating, working out (even if it is cleaning instead of formal exercise), and spending each day in an edifying, productive way. That's all I can control, the scale will take care of itself.

The next pictures will be at 189, be on the lookout!

Awesome weight loss this week! Cleaning is a great way to burn those calories (or so I've heard lol). No, really, I've been using it as "exercise" when I do lots of carrying and scrubbing. Basically, I figure if my heart rate goes up and I'm sweating...That counts!

Keep up the great work. You have such a wonderful attitude!
