I came across this challenge through another blog by a friend of mine (in fact, she's the one who inspired me to start blogging in the first place and gave me a lot of help...thanks, Becca!) and I thought it was a great way to blog more and to change it up a bit.

While I'm here, might as well throw in an update...
Braxton is not feeling well, yet again. The past 2 weeks have been rough for him. It started out with an ear and eye infection, which we THOUGHT had cleared up. Then last week he was running a fever of 102 for 24 hours and was totally miserable. Now today he woke up coughing with a runny nose and lots of congestion (which he's decided to share with his Mama...thanks buddy!). He has a follow-up appointment this week anyway, so hopefully we can get him feeling better soon! Sick babies make me sad :(
Matt's brother, Heath, came down this past Friday for the weekend to help Matt work on his car. I won't try to explain what exactly they did, because well...I have no idea what they did. All I know is they worked hard all day Saturday and the car should be running better now...which is good! Plus we all got to spend time with "Uncle Bubsy", and that's always a plus! Hopefully Tiff and Ella can join him next time!
I found myself missing Pensacola yesterday. Weird, I know. I think its the friends and memories we made that I was actually missing, but regardless, I missed it. I was looking through a cookbook my mom bought for me while she and my Grandma came down to visit. She picked it up at Lulu's, which is Jimmy Buffett's sister's restaurant, while we were there for dinner. The recipes, stories, and photos she shares in the book just brought back a wave of memories and good times we shared with some great people while we lived there. We've been fortunate enough to keep in contact with many of them, and I hope to do so for many years to come! We're all spread out now, from California all the way to Italy...only a few remain in Pensacola still. But, such is the military life, and is something we are going to experience more than a few times.
Today was my 2nd weigh in since my "new beginning", or whatever I'm calling it today. To my surprise, I lost 5 lbs, which puts my total at 9 lbs down! I certainly thought I would see a loss, but I was thinking 2, MAYBE 3 lbs. Definitely not 5. Not that I'm complaining...at all! I just know my body will eventually slow things down, so I don't want to get into a routine of thinking 5 lbs a week is normal. I'm pretty proud of myself. I'm eating a lot healthier than I ever have, and I feel wonderful. Last night I told Matt I feel like a WW spokesperson. I am CONSTANTLY talking about how great it is and will tell anyone who will listen! Maybe I should ask for a paycheck..
Hope everyone has a great day, and don't forget to check back daily for the 30-day challenge!!!
Love love love,
Beck
YAY! I think this challenge is good! I can't wait to read your daily posts.
ReplyDeleteSounds good - I will repost however I do not think anyone but you follow my blog haha. Oh well ;)
ReplyDeleteI hope Braxton gets better soon, sick babies are no fun for baby or mommy.
Good Job on the weight lost, bet it feels great. I will have to look into this weight watchers for my last 15 pounds. I'm with you on getting healthy because I must say I need to start a workout especially for the energy. My body doesn't move as fast as it once did ;)
