Ring

last week at my weigh in I had only lost 1 lb 4 oz. this was a bit sad, however it is a loss, and this is heading in the right direction. and their were two days when I was to the end of my calories but decided that I didn't care, I was going to eat this anyway, so it was kind of understandable.

this morning as I was getting ready for church my wedding ring slipped off my finger. ( it landed on my made bed so I found it easily).

this must mean that I am losing weight anyway, and more than I thought.

Its starting to show

We are beginning to make several life changes at our house. 1) we are taking the Dave Ramsey Financial Peace University class. but todays blog is about our second change. Thomas and I have started using xocai chocolate. it is more commonly called "the healthy chocolate" it is especially formulated to be healthy and has lots of added vitamins and minerals and proteins. not only is xocai good for helping you to lose weight, it is good for allergies and asthma.

Thomas is having two shakes a day, counting his calories and drinking lots of water.
I am having one shake a day, 3 pieces of chocolate, counting my calories and drinking lots of water. Next monday I want to start working out. One goal that I want to set is to see how long it takes me to walk to lions park up one set of stairs and down the other, and then work to shorten this time.

When I weighed in last week I was at 232 lbs. this week I am at 225.6 lbs.

Thomas last week was at 400.8 lbs and 391.2 lbs.

I am very proud of him, and us for our progress so far.

P.S. in the mornings when I work I start with a shake, then drink a bottle of water on the way to work. In the past I have not been good about taking a break every 2 hours like we are supposed to, however, after drinking a shake, then a bottle of water, I have found I NEED to take a break, visit the little girls room then drink another bottle of water so I can repeat the process at my lunch where I usually drink one to two bottles of water. thus making a second break a necessity as well.

P.P.S. I know that simply counting calories and drinking water will help with weight loss, however adding the chocolate makes sure that my body still gets what it needs.
