Minivan Report

I have to second what Kristina said about the Y. We joined for Christmas and I have been going at least 3 times a week sometimes more. My kids are happy and safe in the KidWatch room and I get to spend an uninterrupted 1 1/2 hour with my headphones on. Sometimes I am watching Oprah, sometimes the news and sometimes listening to my iPod.

It is so therapeutic and I find I am a better wife and mother.

I am doing good with eating right and exercising but I find with adding the exercise, I have to give up something else and my computer time is what gets left off. As for now, I get up and spend time with the Lord each morning, sometimes by myself and sometimes with a little guy and his sippy cup. I am exercising Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursday and Saturday at the Y.

I am following the Weight Watchers points as it is what I know the best. I am eating when I am hungry and not overeating. I am drinking water. I realized I was not counting the herbal tea I was drinking so the days I thought I was not getting in all my water, I actually was. YEA!!

I have not really talked about it with my friends around here as I really want to be firmly set in my ways before I talk about it too much. I am just going to wait for them to notice and then I can share with them what I am doing. My time with the Lord has been such a vital part of my succeeding this time around. When I don't have that time with Him, my day just does not go as well as when I do have my time.

I am just so glad to have you all .
