October 30th

Phew, it has been a while since I've written here! Well, I've been steadily plugging along in my eating choices. It's been meat and veggies and more meat and veggies. I have felt amazing and had LOTS of energy and virtually no hunger.

My working out has been struggling. Having house guests always makes me lose focus on working out and shove it into that dark quiet space underneath my bed.
I started Day 53 of Bikini Body Mommy today and I have 5 weeks left in this portion of the challenge!
I've lost more inches but, the scale has not moved a ton. I also went down another size! That means 8 sizes lost for me now! Wahoo!!!!

Feeling full of energy while pumpkin hunting!

My son's face says how I felt about working out this morning!

Keep In Mind

There are days when you feel like quitting
There are moments when that sugar looks overwhelmingly good
There are seconds when you want to throw in the towel!

Well, DON"T! Don't give up!

These moments will pass, and you will not feel better having given up! It will make you feel worse failing like that. Keep on keeping on and find strength in God's word and the promises he has for you!

Eat to live, don't live to eat and MOVE the amazing body he gave you!

My journey keeps moving me forward in my life. Sometimes I feel in the depts of despair questioning God about when will this be over, and sometimes I find myself on the mountain top just pumping my fist praising Him.
This path I am on, is as much about trusting him to supply my needs as it is about healthy eating.
I keep trying to see that I need to sacrifice the desires of my flesh to eat, in order to gain a full and abundant life here on earth. That is what he wants for us, to have life to the full!  I realize now how much I had compromised for the sake of food. It ruled and controlled my life.
As I walk now, I think back to how I could barely walk up hill to the local school, or how embarrassing it was to get down on the ground. I reflect how much effort it took to play with my children.
I am truly gaining FREEDOM from all that! Each day is a new step.

Currently, I am on Day 31 of my second round of Bikini Body Mommy and it is the best round yet! I've lost 13 pounds in 31 days, and have lost some SERIOUS inches! We're talking 4 inches on hips alone!

I feel amazing! I have stuck with my mostly Paleo style of eating... no grains and NO sugar if I can do it. I've cheated on the sugar a few times but MOSTLY have done well.

Thought I'd share my day 31 pictures with ya!
