Month 6

I forgot to do an update of my new years goals for May... here they are for June!
My goals are in bold

1.50 lb Weight Loss ~  I did not lose 50 pounds yet.... but I have figured out the way to lose it. I am sure that by
Dec 31 I will have lost 50 or more...
I am ONLY eating when I have physical hunger and I am physically active. 
THIS IS A MAJOR BREAKTHROUGH for me!!!
When I eat I stop half way through and ask myself if I am still hungry... this really helps a lot!
I am beginning a walking program this week which I know will jump start my goal. 
I also make a list each day of things I can do instead of eating... if I am still hungry after the activity then I eat... usually I am just bored!




2.Make Room to Create ~ DONE


3.Conscious Decision to be positive...it has been VERY difficult to be positive and we are now struggling to find jobs



4. Make more time for ME... still not doing this often enough!


5. Make more time for God... He is the ONLY way I get through some days!


6.Read all of Nicholas Sparks books~ I am DONE!!!


7.Join Twitter ~ hated it!

  3. Hey Patricia!

    I just caught up on reading some posts that I'd missed. I really like your patio furniture! I'm so proud for you to have it. It looks really, really comfortable!

    Sounds like you are doing well. God bless you as you work to move forward with your goals!

  4. Yes...same here. Just going through some of your posts that I have not read (I haven't been a very good blog friend this summer! LOL). You are crossing things off and that feels so good!
