Shortly after I arrived at Type-A Con this year, I found myself alone in my hotel room trolling Twitter trying to find someone to go to dinner with Wednesday night. Most of my friends were arriving late Wednesday evening and I hate to eat alone so I was looking for company. Soon after sending out my plea @Alfecia-whom I had never spoken to on Twitter before invited me to join the group she was going to dinner with. I gladly accepted and met them in the hotel lobby. By the end of our meal at Vincenzo’s I had made a new friend.
Alicia, who blogs at Confessions of a Snowflake, and I have a lot in common we are both Christian homeschooling moms of musical teenage boys! Anyway, Alicia hosts a weekly #WLWed linky on her blog and I am joining up because I have just re-started my weight loss journey…again.

I’m sorry of you are not interested in this journey but I need accountability and this is one place I can be publicly accountable so please…encourage me along the way.

Why am I trying again?? This time I have a concrete goal and it is a big one lose 30lbs in 88 days! This would just be the first step to me getting healthy since I have a lot more than that to lose but I need to begin somewhere. Just over a week ago my husband informed me that we were going on a cruise to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary! We will be gone October 2-9th!

Now, this weight loss thing isn’t a vanity thing. It is an I want to do this for my husband thing. You see, he really wants to go zip lining and so do I. Depending where we chose to zip line, I am currently just at or over the maximum weight limit 🙁 For my own safety I want to be under that limit! Sites like the Best online shop to Buy adipex online overnight delivery cheap cheap without prescription would be more than helpful for the weight loss goal.

Last week I started eating better and I have even added yogurt to my diet for the first time in my life. I am using the MyFitnessPal app on my phone to track my food intake, my exercise and my water intake. Since this is an ambitious goal for week 1 I have stood on the Scripture Philippians 4:13 (NIV)  “I can do all this through him who gives me strength.” During week 1 my eating was good and my exercise was lacking so I will focus on that more this week but…I am down 1 pound for week one.


Next week topic is healthy treats…I have plenty to tell you about those and again it leads back to Type-A Con!

    And I loved the scripture you shared. You are SOOO right. We can’t do this on our own. May we remember whose strength we have daily!
