Back on Track

Phew. I am happy to report that I am back on track and down to my lowest in quite a few years. Five at least to be more specific. I am at a total of 25 pounds gone. Allen is at 40 pounds gone.

Have I said recently how incredibly proud of him I am and how much I love him. I am so blessed to be able to be married to him. I can't believe it is only 5 years we have been married on Friday. (I mean that in a good way). I feel as if we have known eachother forever. Then I look at how far we have come in just five years......Allen has gotten his PLS licenses in two states, I had to go back for a full other year of schooling, I got my teaching licenses in WI and IL, we have three kids, and have bought our first house. Whoowee....tires me out just thinking about all of it. No wonder I am sleep depraved :) I sure wouldn't change the last five years for the world...ok maybe the going back to school part, but it was a means to an end!

Another side note on the diet thing....I really need your prayers for food to lose its stronghold on my life. I think about it often and hate to be derived of it. I have been feeling so rebellious the last week!

I am so glad your five years was better than mine. :) I am also thankful that you came into our lives. You are such a blessing to all of us. Sami is so blessed to be able to have your kids to teach her to share. As for your weight. You and allen both look wonderful. I will pray for you too.

I don't struggle with foold while sick in pregnancy and then i seem to lose because of feeding babies--BUT i struggle with giving in to junk food and that just makes my body a pile of tired mush. not very healthy and often not very Spirit-filled!
