those blasted numbers…

I have received quite a few emails asking how I am doing with my LSC’11

( If you are not aware what that is see my previous post here)

Here is where I am at with each item right now…

Weight loss…30lbs to be exact – down 1.1lb ha! those cookies are NOT helping!
Spend more time on daily devotionals – 2-3 out 5 mornings, not as often as I hoped but more intentional when I do.
Say no to at least 3 people – not exactly, I joined a new Bible study called “becoming a woman of simplicity” kind of Ironic I think!
Read 3 educational books – Not so much! It’s only January!
Blog at least 3-4 times a week – Yes doing great!
Be more intentional with keeping in contact with friends – 3 play-dates this week with 3 different groups of friends! Yeah for friends!
Pray out loud more often – doing better but need to be more consistent
Pray out loud in public – I shared my testimony in church, does that count?
Plan an annual girls weekend away – CHECK and SO excited for this!
Sell 30% of the crafts I create – yeah, not so much, I am trying though, I promise!

Okay, so today I wanted to dig a little bit deeper on #1 Weight loss…30lbs to be exact.

I have changed my goal to lose 22 pounds in 6 months. I thought this would be little more tangible and my Wii would not let me make a higher goal. As I stated above I am not doing too well on this goal. I have only lost 1.1 pound since Jan 10th! I guess it’s better than a gain!

Today I am going to share with something that is very personal. Not quite as hard as the Who am I post but close. Today I am going to share with you numbers. Yes that’s right, the actual numbers on the scale, not the ones that I wish were my numbers but the ones that really are. The ones that tell you how much I weigh and my BMI!

No need to talk more, time to just do it…
