As a Chrisitan I love Easter for the reason of my Lord Jesus Christ rising from the dead. It will always be a day to celebrate my living God who died for my sins and rose again :)

Easter also has another place is my heart. Good Friday was the day that I said yes to the guy that’s now been my boyfriend for a year :) I put yes on an easter egg as we were dying them.lol. Then Easter I got to meet all his family (including his parents!) for the first time at a cookout. So this day will also remind me of the people I have welcomed into my life.

Easter also has a place in my heart for my weight loss journey. A photo was taken of me at this cookout and once I saw it…well I freaked and weighed myself.  I had reached 158 lbs. I had never weighed that much and it made me start this journey that I am so glad to have taken. I currently weight an average of 141 or 142 lbs….all you have to do is see the pictures in my progress blog…quite a difference from last year :)

Since last year was later in the month Im going to wait till the exact date to take a picture in the same pose in the same outfit and see how different I look. Look for it soon!!!

Hope everyone had a great Easter! 

I have hit a plateau and cannot seem to get past 142 lbs. So I’ve decided to make goals for April to help me push past it.

-drink EVEN MORE water!

-no sweet tea

-lift weights 3x a week instead of just one

-do yoga on sunday mornings

-continue to do my 10K training

-continue to workout on thursday evenings

-see if i can schedule a small workout on tuesdays as well

-get my calories UP to a good number (I had to do a food diary for class and realized just how little my calories are adding up. eek!)

But overall I plan to stay happy and not stressed. I don’t want to be a person that freaks out over small weight gains, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want to lose!

hope everyone else is making some goals for this month!
