Motherhood is enjoying every moment...

This photo is from a family shoot we had last year. We were at a park and we were waiting for the fountains to come on so we could get some shots in front of the water. Our photographer took some photos while we were waiting and the photos captured us, the real us! Not posed, or fake smiles, all real! Those photos were some of my favorites from the day! The one below is of me and my oldest son. Pure joy!

Are you a scale hopper?

Tweet

I am a self proclaimed scale hopper. My scale is usually sitting in the middle of the bathroom floor, so every time I am in there, I step on. I have heard that one who is trying to lose weight shouldn't weigh but once a week because it is easier to become discouraged seeing your weight fluctuate daily. (But then I have also read the opposite, that you should weigh multiple times a week for motivation) Either way, I weigh myself a lot. Especially when I am dieting, which is always. I have been better about it this week, particularly since my scale battery is dying and it just reads "LOW" every time I step on. And I normally don't have time to drag all the Wii equipment out just to weigh myself. But this morning I did. And now, I am with those who say once a week. I have lost 5 pounds this week!! It is much more gratifying to see one BIG number than a bunch of tiny ones! So, here's to no more scale hopping!

Bible Verse of the Week - Be Still...

Tweet

Psalm 46:10 (New King James Version)

Be still, and know that I am God;
         I will be exalted among the nations,
         I will be exalted in the earth! 

Be still...

This verse has been ringing in my ears this afternoon. Today was Pastor's Appreciation Day at my church, and it seemed like everything was rush-rushed all morning. I realized when I got home, that I didn't leave much time for God this morning. Sure, I went to church, sang along with the hymns, sang a song for my pastor and then listened to the sermon. But the whole time my mind was racing! The actual appreciation service was to take place at the end of the church service and I was concentrating on how it would play out.

How many times do we go through our day and have so much on our minds that we fail to be still, and give him praise, or thanksgiving? I am so guilty today. I had to apologize to God, I was more caught up in what was going on around me at church than what was going on in me. This week, let's take time to be still, no matter what is going on around us, and know that He is God!

21-Days Challenge : Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans

Tweet

I joined the 21-Days Challenge at the Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans today. Basically the challenge says that it takes about 21 days to form a habit. I had to pick 3 things that I wanted to make a good habit of. 

My 3 new habits will be:

1. Drink 64 oz of water a day

2. Track Calories every single day

3. Exercise at least 20 minutes 5 x week

The challenge actually started on the 28th of April, but she says to join in at anytime, I figure I am just a few days behind, so no biggie! They weigh-in on Wednesdays, I weigh-in on Thursdays, so I will just be a day behind (or 6 days ahead!).
