Losing Weight, Feelin' Great!

Just doing a little update on my weight loss so far!
I've been doing 20 days of Jillian Michaels' 30 day shred, thats right, Level 3 is up next! {trembles in fear}. Level two was hard enough, I am not very excited about level 3!

But Jill seriously works. I've also been counting my calories {myfitnesspal.com they also have an app!} along with working out and drinking more water. So far I have lost 4.5 pounds! It is really strange to know I have 8-10 pounds more I could lose {unless I get pregnant, fingers crossed}. Not only have I been tracking my weight, but also measuring certain parts of my body along the way {about every 7-10 days}. I have in total lost 8.5 inches off my body {crazy, right!}. Over an inch off my waist, love handles, hips, butt and thighs {along with smaller increments from my chest, above the knee, calf and ankles}.

It all feels like a total success so far, I know it'll be harder to lose the rest of it, but I'm looking forward to either being at my goal weight or finding out I'm pregnant :) If you have any questions about it, feel free to ask!

And sorry, I don't have any pictures..just these motivating ones!

to live is Christ, to die is gain.

The apostle Paul wrote those words in Philippians 1:21...God did some miraculous work thru Paul didn't he!? After Paul saw the light (literally) he traveled to Judea, Syria, Cilicia, Galatia, Pamphylia, Asia, Macedonia, Achaia and Italy. WOW. I've shared God's word....via skype to my bestie Nicole and...uhhh..shoot. What am I doing?! Yikes, I'm so ready to go, to tell of God's glory, to "Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and teaching." (2 Tim. 4:2) Its convicting to know that I really haven't done as much as I could be doing, if I died, I have no doubt I would meet Jesus, my Lord and Savior would know my heart and how much I love Him and my willingness and readiness to share Him with the world..but I also know He will stand before me and say, Look at what you could have had, if only you had come to me sooner, done My work rather than yours. In one of my earlier posts I had writ...

Midnight in Paris

I just stumbled upon these seriously gorgeous photos of Marion Cotillard and had to share! I am now itching to see Midnight in Paris because of its 93% rating from Rotten Tomatoes {and dang it's hard to please them!}. Have you seen it, did you enjoy it? xxoo

Dinner Fail, Dessert Win!

Last nights dinner was supposed to look like this Instead it turned out like this It was a serious fail. The flavor was good, but it looked terrible and took more than twice as long to make as we thought it would. Oh and, it was a bit too crispy. BUT Dessert redeemed me, it was Kiwi Lemon Cheesecake - Yum! The recipe called for lemon curd, and when I saw how expensive it was at the store, I decided to try and make my own! It turned out great, and this was the end result It was not quite as solid as it should have been, but delicious non-the-less! Both of these recipes were from Rachel Ray's Everyday magazine. It was exciting making new things, hopefully next time they turn out a bit better :) xxoo
