Yes, I forgot....so I'm behind, but happy to report that things are progressing in the right direction. Mid week last week I gained a pound & yes, I was disappointed..even cried a bit. But, I got right back up & worked on things again. So, last week I lost all that I had gained along with a few extra tenths of a pound...yes, I said tenths. Hey, in my world they all count! So, I'm down 8 pounds as of yesterday! But, more exciting to me is that I'm meeting every other week with a friends who's educated herself extremely well on nutrition & has been training me on foods in the area of glycemic levels. Did you realize that when you have a carbohydrate for breakfast that you're spiking your sugars levels and set yourself up the rest of the day for carb & sugar cravings? I didn't....so, I've been focusing on protein & fruit for breakfast. I also went to my doctor to have blood taken to see if I have a glutton sensitivity. If I do, what my friend said was that my weight loss journey would be like walking up a mountain in high heels....difficult. So, I'm awaiting those results. Needless to say it has been a productive week & I'm feeling good. Do I always love every moment, no - but I'm giving myself more grace & again working on becoming healthy & having the weight loss become just a huge plus...it's hard to change your mental state regarding that scale!! So, there you have it!!
On a side note...thank you for your comments on my "Taking a Stand" posting. Most of you don't know me real well & honestly I believe in taking a stand on things, but I have a hard time knowing what people are going to think of me & how it's going to affect a relationship...so, I even hesitated in this post because I don't want to offend. But, I appreciated your feedback on things & for listening to what the Lord has put on our hearts.

BTW, I am with you on halloween. Only because of much protesting do I allow my boys to dress up and then we go to our church's fall festival - we dont even say halloween at our house. I like a girl who can take a stand!
8 lbs!!! Great job, Earen. I'm curious, too. What are you eating for breakfast. I definitely CRAVE carbs.
WAY TO GO EAREN! That is awesome! I too would like to know what you eat for breakfast. I am a huge carbs person. I have been trying to add more protein the morning because I have heard to keeps blood sugar levels more even throughout the day.
