Weigh in

It's not looking good this week. I have gained 2 lbs, but know that I haven't been watching as I should the past couple of weeks of stressful school days!

I did start doing pilates, which I really like, but i am doing that for two reasons. One to loose weight, but also to destress. I have recently been to the doctor because of higher blood pressure and heart palpitations, although to not sound so bad, I call them flip-flop thingys. I am monitoring my blood pressure, and then going to report back to see what to do from there.
As my parents say, I am burning the candle at both ends, and I am trying to cut back on that too! I have been praying for God's strength and know that he is there! Please pray for me as well, I appriate all your support and prayers already!!

To be or not to be??

Please pray for me. I have been thinking about getting a house for a while now, but recently felt more motived to pursue it further. I feel God leading, but please pray that I listen to what He wants for me and that He will make it clear (some times my hearing is a little muffled :)
I talked with a relator and have filled out forms to get pre-approval from the bank. I am going to try to get in this next week to talk to someone!
I was pretty scared to just jump into this, but God is helping with that as well and I don't feel as overwhelmed and scared, but more excited than even before to start to house hunt!
Thank you for all your prayers! I love you all!

Thank goodness for weekends!!

I love my weekends, but they go way to fast! I have kept busy with cleaning my car, apartment, taking a nap, watching a movie, several trips to the store (because I didn't make a list and forgot things!!! rrrr!) and I did the 3 mile walk this morning sponsoring the Loving Touch Pregnancy Care Center with a group from church! It was fun to do, and it was a gorgeous day out!!
Monica and Sandy, when is our next bike ride, and Tammy do you guys have bikes?

I also got inspired again, and have the urge to cook (mainly due to the fact that I have washed all of my dishes finally and the sink is clean! I hate washing dishes... my next place.... I seriously have to look into a dish washer!!! :)

Tomorrow's menu for lunch... Monterey Jack Turkey Burgers (with bun and turkey bacon) and oven baked onion rings (6 rings per serving)!! Point total: 8 points
My mouth is watering thinking about it!

New neighbors

I have new neighbors. They seem nice, but haven't talked with them much. There is guy and his grandma living there now. It sure seems strange to have someone new there and not Mark, Shawna, and Parker!

Weight Update

Well, I have lost another pound.

At one point, (not the official weigh in date) I had lost 30 lbs, but I still like to count it!

Please pray for me, it has been quite a stuggle to keep up with points since school has been back in!

School's in!

When school starts, it is in full force! I can't believe that it is the end of the 4th week already! It has busy as ever of course.

It was a rough start to school, our new saying at school is "Just keep swimming! Bloop Bloop! :) Sometimes it would be nice to just teach. I also know that I am so critical of myself wanting to do the best job that I can.

I love my kids! They are immature, and cute, and make me laugh! They are so much fun, yet challenging at the same time! Please pray for our year together that I don't drive them to insanity and vice versa! :)


Monica and fam it's so good to have you back!
Sandy when is our next bike ride?
Tammy how did it go this week with work?
Shawna how are those kiddos doing?

Love to you all! i will try to update more often!!

P.S. for all you C.S.I. fans the season premiere is next Thursday!!!!!! WAAAHOOOO!!!
