It's July?

A week has come and gone since my last post. I can hardly believe it's July 5th already! Two more days and I will have been out of school for the summer for two months! Man time flies when you're busy.

This past week has been pretty busy.  Painted the church last week with the Hammons. Mom and dad were gone to NY for the week for vacation and david was at BBC basketball camp.  So, it was just Jonnie and me at home for a week. I spent it working, reading, doing online class homework, and exercising.

I just completed week three of weightwatchers. I only lost .8 pounds which was somewhat of a letdown to me yesterday.  I worked out everyday last week and ate healthy.  But today I was greatly encouraged! A pair of jeans that were tight when I bought them now fit me perfectly and almost loosely! So I decided to take a look into my "motivation" bin that I made back in February. The plan then was to try on the clothes every month.  I kind of gave up on it after I got sick in February and wasn't working out as much.  So today I tried on some clothes in it. I was able to take 12 shirts out of my bin! How's that for encouragement? So even though I didn't lose on the scale, my measurements are coming down! So exciting. 

I've done the shred for the past 5 days. I forgot how much I love this workout. It's circuit training consists of 3 minutes of strength, 2 minutes of cardio, and 1 of abs.  You get an effective workout in 20 minutes, plus about 7 mins of warm-up and cooldown.  I can already feel a difference in strength!

All this to say I am still motivated :)

A week from this friday I leave to head up to BBC to work at TLC. I am so excited! I accepted the Lord as my Savior my first time at TLC in 2005! I will be singing in the worship band and I am beyond thrilled :) God is so good in using us in ways we never imagined.
