makparis's Journal, 29 March 2010

I love seeing the scale go down, it just makes me feel good. YAY!! I'm so close to my 50 lbs goal I can practically taste it. Maybe, just maybe next week. I'll have to be very, very good this week.

Today is my sons birthday and we are ordering in pizza at his request. This first problem with that is I HATE all forms of white bread, the second is the ridiculously high calories, and the last problem - I absolutely crave pizza. My favorite is Papa Murphy's, I drool at the thought of a chicken bacon stuffed pizza. YUM! Pizza is the only thing my body forgives of the white bread. Usually it makes me ill. So, I have to be careful, very careful. All prayers for help against temptation are welcome.

I'm so happy, it's Spring Break!! I have a breather from my harsh, crazy schedule. I still have some work this week, but nothing too bad. So I will make it to the gym plenty this week. YAY!! I am happy to say that I've got an A in my classes and passed my mid-terms with flying colors.

7 Things I'm Grateful For:

1. My Son - He is my favorite person to hangout with. Although at now 11, he is a BIG brat, I still love him and I'm so glad he is in my life. We are playing games and watching movies all day.
2. Redbox - Cheap movies just three blocks away.
3. Spring Break - Because we all need a breather once in a while.
4. Sales - Because I can start buying clothes I don't fit into yet, anticipate what I'm going to get to wear and save money.
5. Family - My family has been in and out of the hospital alot in the last few weeks. But for all the issues, they are a great group of people whom I love dearly and cherish. They are so supportive and comforting.
6. Games - A great way to have fun, to socialize and spend an afternoon having fun with my son.
7. Grace of God - Without which my life would be miserable. That undeserved favor that God shines on us is so immense, it's overwhelming. Fantastic!!

I wish you all a great week. You are all always in my prayers.
