Vacation Bible School this week

Well, it's summer time & that means Vacation Bible School for a lot of kids.  Our church has a huge VBS.  We do it for 2 weeks & there are 200 kids each week. 

I have been helping in the kitchen the last few years & while it's hard to see what snacks the kids get it also helps because I am able to see what I need to bring for my daughter AND I can make some somewhat subtle suggestions :)

So, this is week of needing to leave my house about 7am and making sure I fit my workout in each day.  Thankfully this happens to be an easy week (not sure there is one with P90X but...).  Yoga, core & stretching.  I think I can handle them.  I MUCH prefer to workout in the morning but with 1-1/2 hour yoga that won't be happening in the morning. 

My challenge this week is to make sure I am working in my workouts.  My history with VBS is I'm knocked out the rest of the day afterward.  You know those kids can really wear you OUT! 

My other challenge I have been working on is getting the sleep I need.  

How many hours do you get of sleep??

Be Blessed & Healthy!!!

Before & After Pictures

To be honest, when I look in the mirror most times I still see me 30+lbs heavier.  I don't see a difference most times.  The way I know I'm doing good is by the clothes I am fitting in.  Some times by measurements too but I can't let my mind be sucked into the numbers.  They really mess me up. 

A Facebook page I follow "Ripped Goddess" posts pictures of how well people are doing.  Lots of before & after pics, lots of pics of people just really proud of their work.  I finally got up the nerve to post my own pictures. 

I went through some of my pictures & realized there is a difference.  I am really glad I did that. 

So, if you are just starting out, sure, weigh yourself & remember, if you stay true to yourself you will NEVER see that weight again.  BUT take a picture.  Don't be shy.  Doesn't matter if you lose 10, 20 or 60 lbs.  You will see a difference.  You deserve to see that.  It works.  Take it from me.

Be Blessed & Healthy!!!
