...or at least I was, for about 10 whole minutes. And now, I have two more plea transcripts to work on, but I'm thankful for the extra money, and I can snap those right out. :)
Anyway, I decided to write a quick post as I sit here and eat my oatmeal and strawberries (a tasty snack before I go to the gym then come back here and have dinner whilst watching The Voice... it's so intense that they're narrowing from 9 to 4 today... I'm predicting Jordan, Jeffery, Barrett, & ?? - it'd be cool if it was Madi just so there'd be one person from each coach's team). But enough about that! lol
On to WW... I'm thankful that so many of you are cheering me on in this journey! I had a good weigh-in this week -- I'm down over 15 pounds now in under a month, and I feel like 9.4 by the New Year is very doable. Especially because Weight Watchers has changed up their whole system and introduced "SmartPoints" this week!! Oprah is now partnering with them and working to make the program healthier and more holistic. Let's just say, it's about to get real! This new method makes foods high in sugar or saturated fat cost you a lot more so that you're more naturally motivated to choose healthier things. Eeeek. A lot of my favorite candies or cookies are now double what they used to be, but some healthy proteins and carbs and such are lower. Working in sweets will take more effort and planning, but I'll do it when I reeeeally want something. I'm aware that my mindset is changing in really positive ways and I know I need to learn some new behaviors, so this new system will be really good for me and my overall health... I'm actually excited about embracing the new right now! Doesn't mean it won't be hard, but "sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same." #thefray ;)
Anyway, I'm off to Planet Fitness. But before I go, here are some pics from this weekend. Enjoy!
Courtney and Rach at their Indie Trunk Show booth! :)
Kyndal and Jaceman loving their Chick-Fil-A!!
Josh coaching T&C's basketball team! Me, Dad, and Jaceman went to watch - the games are so entertaining at that age. So much travelling! lol
Bellsy Bell and Sammers all groomed up... their hair is about 40 times softer now, and still super FLUFFY!! :)
Bill and Jill at Mom and Dad's new place... moving day is finally set for the 17th!
Here is the extent of my Christmas decorating this year:
LOL it's definitely the lazy way out, but even this little pinch of red and green makes me smile!
...And I will absolutely go all out with the Christmas decor next year!! :)
Finally, here are a couple encouraging verses:
"You satisfy me more than the richest of foods.
I will praise You with songs of joy!"
~Psalm 63:5
"We depend on the Lord alone to save us.
Only He can help us, protecting us like a shield.
In Him our hearts rejoice,
For we are trusting in His holy name.
Let Your unfailing love surround us, Lord,
For our hope is in You alone."
~Psalm 33:20-22
