Weigh-in Day...

Woo Hoo....I got to add a new badge today!!!! I made it to 35 pounds lost (actually 36 as of today). I lost 2.8 pounds this week and feeling really good about it! I just realized that I am half way to my first big goal too.

As I posting this wonderful news of the week I am listening to a song and I have to post the lyrics...they are so fitting to my day.

This is my brand new day in the light
Trouble rising up on the left and the right
I keep my eyes fixed on where I want to go
The rest will follow this is my prayer without ceasing

The rocks of life won’t pull me down, rising above the storms of life
To live and love

This is my brand new day starting now
Letting go of the ways that I fall down
The old can be made new
And as I rise above my burden is easing

Just wanted to share that with you....it is so true....if we just would focus on where we want to go and not worry all the storms of life that come and go and learn to let go of those things and move on.

Anyway I am so happy. I thought I was going to have to do a bit of confessing today and tell you what I did last night, the night before weigh-in. I just knew I was going to have a gain. Ok....I'll confess anyway. I went to Baskin Robbins at 9:00pm for ice cream (after I went to Starbucks with my husband too). Not just a scoop of ice cream.......I had THREE scoops of ice cream!!!! I can't believe I am telling everyone this. Well, they had a sale yesterday....1 scoop for .31 cents, limit 3 scoops per person. So I got 3 scoops....good thing they had a limit who knows what I would have done. :) We never go out for ice cream because of the cost for 5 people, you might as well get a half gallon at the grocery store and take it home and dish it up......and we do this every Friday......but we never go out for ice cream. So I let all the kids get the limit too.....they were so thrilled they got to choose 3 different flavors and all the ones that we never buy...It was so much fun! I was ready and willing to take the punishment of a gain even though I had worked so hard the rest of the week....I really had to think about it and decide if it was worth it because I really wanted that 35 pounds lost badge. Well, I had a great time with my family and it was worth it just for that and I thank God that I still had a loss for the week!

Hope everyone is doing good this week. I better get going to visit my friend today.
