We've almost finished the International Adoptoin Home Study Classes and I have lost 4 lbs in 19 days!  Not too bad considering I was sick with a GI issue for 5 days and couldnt work out (without running to the bathroom). 

Lost 2 inches off my waist and about an inch everywhere else!  That's a great motivator!!

I am restarting the beginner Turbo Jam program again since I missed 5 days and was feeling puney.  So, we'll start back off with the 20 min program for a little bit and work back up again.  If I feel up to it sooner - I'll throw in a Carido Party here and there before it tells me to ;).

Next step - really eat consciously so I don't overeat or eat out. 

AMEN for snow days!  We're getting the office cleaned out and the taxes done!  This relieves a lot of stress for me and makes me feel much better and not so overwhelemed... which encourages me even more :).

God is awesome and consistant and I am grateful for the opportunity to lose the weight and stay healthy.

Well, I just logged back in to TBB after a whopping 9 month hiatius! We've moved, we've aquired a new pony and sold one horse (still have Trooper and new pony, Willie) and we are now adopting 2 children from the Philippines!  And my plantar faciitius is almost healed in my rt foot, so I can workout easy to start.  I've gotten back to my starting weight from 5 years ago and things are changing!

Adoption: The application has been approved and low and behold, both mine and my husband's BMI ratios are a bit out of range from where the Philippine Govt wants their USA adoptive parents to be.  SO = lose weight or no babies.  THAT'S MOTIVATION! 

Granted, I only need to lose 8 lbs to squeak into the "Range" but that's not what I want.  I want/need to be healthy for myself, for my husband and for the 2 children we will be bringing home in 18-24 months.  So, here I am again, and instead of "trying" to get fit I am retraining myself to think of it as "training" to be and stay fit and healthy.

Trying vs Training: When we think about "Trying" - we don't have to really put forth an effort.  Why?  Because somewhere in the human (especially American) psychie we think that THINKING about something IS Trying!  (Don't lie - you've done it too.)  But when we think about TRAINING it means that we ARE DOING something about the situation.  So, I am in Training.

I'm back in the saddle with the super glue this time and don't plan on falling off again... with God's grace and holding on to Him - I can and will do this!
