A New Year Has Begun!
As I sit here typing with hair color on to cover all of my gray, I can hardly believe that it is 2007. Time just flies way too fast. It seems like only yesterday I was sitting in the hospital holding newborn baby Jenna in my arms. It seems impossible that she will be three this year, and Alyssa will be one year old! I know we have had a few hardships these past two years, but I just can't help but think that this will be a wonderful year!
There are many things I anticipate, hope to accomplish and want to see happen in 2007. Here they are....
1. Jenna become completely "potty trained."
2. The whole family lose weight (But most importantly, me win the competition! Come on, you know I had to say it because I am a competitive person!)
3. Alyssa talk and walk! She is already saying da-da, of course, and ma-ma a few times!
4. John and I improve our relationships with Christ. We are both trying to be more faithful servants to our Lord and Savior.
5. Spring break and summer vacation, of course!
6. Pickaway grow, especially with more children.
7. I am really looking forward to our vacation. We were on Disney websites today checking out all of the pricey resorts and packages!
I just wanted to share some of those personal goals that I have. Please, please, please pray for me as I start to diet tomorrow. I hope I can do it because I was already trying to get John to postpone our diets until after breakfast. I even offered to buy him breakfast at Bob Evans, but he, with more will power, declined! He said, "if we are going to do it, we have to be strong and start it." I will have to keep reminding myself of that. After stepping on the scales at Pam's, I know this is something I need to do! Please keep me in your prayers! :)

I know you can do all of this b/c you're strong too. John just seems to be unusually strong in the lose-weight will-power area. But, just wanted to let you know I one-upped you today!! I ate pretty healthy, not the greatest, used the treadmill for 20 minutes and drank 8 glasses of water!! :))

Wow-we ate pretty healthy today so far, and I am starving!!!! I mean, STARVING! I had a bottle of water and a nutrigrain bar for breakfast and a side salad and bottle of water for lunch. Well, hopefully I will be seeing you in a little bit to use the treadmill.

It sounds like you are off to a great start! I am proud of you! If you have a bad day (like you cheat), don't give up! Just start again! This is my advice for myself as well. It is hard, but "I know that you can do it!" I am laughing as I typed that last sentence 'cause it sounded like the Dora song! :)) Too cute! Anyway, keep going strong!! And don't deprive yourself completely b/c they say that just makes you crave it more. Just eat in moderation (I am bad about eating at night). So, I am trying to be aware myself! Again, tho, you are off to a good start!!!!! GO, AMY!!!!!! :))
