Thought you good people might enjoy this article from the St Louis Post Dispatch. Rev. Portis was a classic carbohydrate addict.

Ok, well I'm a bit disappointed in myself. I've just been going back and fourth. No cheating though just went up a few lbs earlier in the week due to TOM and high blood pressure and now I'm just back where I started. Probably would have had more progress if I had worked out more this week. I got to step my game up before March ends up being a month of see sawing.

The scale hasn't been moving but I can tell that I'm losing inches because some of my clothes have been fitting better than they did in previous weeks. Yesterday I had on a shirt that I wore last month and it was a bit snug and all night it drove me crazy but when I put it on yesterday it was a little bigger and it fit nicely around my breast so I was very pleased and felt cute all day. Everyone was wondering what had me smiling but i kept it to myself and just the change in the weather had changed my mood. I hate telling everyone that I'm watching what I eat or trying to eat healthier because then they watch you and I don't need anyone all in my face trying to figure out what I'm doing. This way I'm the only one who is really watching my body get smaller. Congrats to those who have lost and those who are staying the same. I guess its better than gaining a few pounds. School has had me running around crazy so its been a few since I've actually posted but i'm still around just peeking in here and there. Good luck to everyone and God bless you all. Have a good day and an even better weekend if I don't make it back before the weekend is over.

Default Palm Sunday - Communion Sunday



What a beautiful day this was for me.

Spent all day Palm Sunday listening to the Word on TBN, washing my hair and doing my nails and toes.

Finished off by doing a 4 mile walk to the store to get items for my crucifix project (making a flower crucifix to place on my front door).

Up pass midnight bringing in the Passover, discussing the day's sermons with my honey and working on project.

It has been a truly beautiful, spiritual, and serene day for me.

Hey all-finally got to weigh today. Steadily progressing. I hope everyone has a great Easter. I am starting tomorrow with Holy Thursday Mass at 7:00 p.m., followed by a pilgrimage up Mt. Cristo Rey in El Paso at 8:00 a.m. on Good Friday, followed by Good Friday Mass at 3:00 p.m. On Saturday I will attend the Easter Vigil Mass at sundown, and Sunday, of course, Easter Mass. It is the most holy and beautiful time of the year for the Church - the Triduum. God Bless you all.

Wow! Well, it took a minute, but finally started dropping March 27th and then went on to drop a total of 8 lbs for the week.

Thank you sweet Jesus!

Hey! Where is everybody? This challenge is just about done.

Well, everyone have a blessed Holy Week!

Well guess I'm finishing this up by myself.

Easter was wonderful and I'm glad to say that I completed this challenge with a total 10 lb lost.
