Weight Loss Challenge

So I stepped on the scale today and I had a little victory dance! :) January 1st I was 122 pounds and this morning I weighed in at 118.5. :) I am making healthy choices and working hard at the gym. I FEEL GREAT! I know some of you see that number and think I wish I was that number. The truth of the matter is it is just a number. I am a very short women and I may weigh less now then when I got married but the body is still not like it used to be I am trying to firm up the middle, and tone the legs. I still have lots of baby fat to loose! I put the number on here to help keep me accountable and not to make anyone stumble in jealousy or anger.

Today I challenged myself to run a 5K and beat my time from last year-- SUCCESS! I did it in 27 minutes and 30 some odd seconds. :) WOOT!

Like I mentioned before I am being honest here in my weight and my struggles for the whole world to see!

So what struggles did I have this week? Food! I was with teens on Saturday and they eat anything and everything but I did not fall into temptation eating all the junk. :) YAY! I really feel like the devo I have been using on youversion.com has been helping- Look up the devotional Made to Crave. Helps change your perspective each day! :)

How is your health? Ready for a challenge?

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

Description: The first book in The Reading Game learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender. It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long. It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words. These are broken down into six sets of five words. The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game. Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory. Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not). Playing Game 2 adds an additional five words (sad, she, stay, this, with). The s

Dry Idea: Deodorant Review and Giveaway

I know most of you know I was at kids camp last week and I think I mentioned the humidity and heat that we had that week! I was daring as I only brought my new Dry Idea deodorant that I had never used prior. I had no idea if it was going to keep me from smelling like B.O or if I was going to have sweaty pits. So how did the Dry Idea hold up to the hot and humid days at kids camp??? Arms raised high during worship in the morning and in the evening! :) I was dry and I did not stink! :) WOOT WOOT! I had the unscented brand and I usually do prefer a pretty scent but it worked and they do have scents which include powder fresh and cotton dry that I might try in the future. :) The Dry Idea Roll-On is 24 hour protection, fast drying MicroCotton Formula, hypo allergenic, and contains Vitamin E. :) Don't like roll on's?? They do offer Clear Gel and an Invisible Solid. :) Dry Idea provided a free sample of their Advanced Dry roll-On so I could review them. However,
