Suprise Suprise!

Well, it has been a pretty eventful week or so. We closed on our house Thursday and moved everything last Friday. I then had to drive to Arkansas with the kiddos to check on our rental property and leave keys for our new residents. On top of all of that, last Monday we found out we are expecting baby number 3 sometime around Thanksgiving. Surprise!! This was not planned or expected but we are looking at it as a blessing. We have a wonderful new house with space and a yard. Ella is going to be starting to stay home with me starting Monday. I am a little nervous about this but am looking forward to getting to spend more time with her and help mold her and shape her into the young lady God wants her to be. I guess I need to change this blog...maybe to something more about my journey as a mother, wife, and a growing Christian. Going from 2-3 really scares me so I need a lot of prayer! :) Let the journey begin!

Update...it has been too long

Well...I decided since I now have a follower (thanks Emily!) that I should post an update :) I had been doing really good on my diet and exercise plan up until the last couple of days. I was taking Adipex to help control my appetite and God really worked on my heart that I needed to be doing this out of my own discipline and not something man made. I decided I would give it a try and gave it up for Lent. I did well up until Sunday. I am an emotional eater and have been for as long as I can remember so when I have really any emotion I want to eat. I have been stressed and sad and I ate...too much :) God is teaching me through this that I really need to turn to Him not only when I am stressed and sad but ALL the time. I am back on the wagon today and am really looking forward to my first basketball practice tonight at Bellevue. I haven't played in 5.5 years and I have missed it very much! So, I haven't weighed since Saturday (before the fall) but here are my latest stats: weight 162.6, fat % 27.4, chest 37 waist 36.25 and hips 40.5. I normally measure at the largest part of those body parts so I think what defines my actual waist is smaller....but I wanted to see changes from the larger areas :) Total I am down 20.7 lbs, and 19.5 inches. My goal is 150 which is what I was on my wedding day.....less than 13 pounds to go :) Here is a pic....man time flies!
