Give me some motivation!

It's Tuesday today and i've really been struggling with feeling like a failure for the last couple weeks. Why? I've gotten into my bad habit of being too busy to be faithful to my work outs. My eating habits continue to slack. Tho I am not trying to make excuses, part of my problem is I hate going to the grocery store AND I can't fit it in. Because by the time I leave work and I'm done working out, A. I want to get home to Savanna and B. I am way tooo tired to go.

I am tired of feeling like a failure and the only one who can change that is me. So, I am going to do my best at this. That means, stop eating chocolate at work, brownies, cake, all that junk food I tend to grab cuz i'm in a hurry.

My new Living Room floor!

My oldest daughter and son in law are here in Grand Forks now. They both took jobs here to be closer to us, family! Honestly, I would not have a problem if they decided to stay here in our house! I have loved and cherished every moment we've had since August. Even tho house hunting can be frustrating, they/we are also blessed with NOT having to hurry into any house that comes along. We've looked at many but the right one has not come along.

So, for now....we are here together and I am thankful tonight, thankful that I have such a wonderful daughter (and son in law). Not because they wanted to give us a special treat and pay for this new floor, ......wait....that's why i'm thankful! LOL

True, but I am so proud of Tanisha, she is a beautiful, thoughtful, caring, smart, loving, compassionate, did I say smart? daughter.

Tanisha, Steve...thank you so much for the gift. It's something I have wanted for almost 3 years.

I love you both,

Mom!

I continue to be amazed at how fast time slips by. I strive to be the best that I can be and not worry about the small stuff. Tho this will probably continue to be a battle for the rest of my earthly life, I am reminded of the blessings God has given me thru my life with my health and happiness. Even tho I struggle with my weight, I am thankful that it is really a small struggle. When I stop and think about those around me who are struggling for life.

Hope Covenant Church has become a refuge for me, a place I can go and worship God and discover amazing people who love God and care about one another. I am blessed to be a part of the Hope family.

Pastor Holly will be going in for a CT scan this Thursday morning at 11am. Doctors found a brain tumor just last week and they have given her encouragement and hope that it is NOT cancerous. But until they get in and take a closer look, we are not sure.

Pray for Holly, please. and pray for me. I feel like I need it! Yes, we all do at ALL times, but right now I desire to grow closer to God and i'm struggling with finding the time and energy.

Take Care,
Kerri

Resisting temptation

Why is it so hard to reist temptation? Do you have any tricks?

I am having such a hard time with my eating habits. I eat much less that before my lapband surgery, but i'm still clinging on to those old habits. Like, rather than grab some carrots, I grab chocolate, or cheese.

Something to think about, off to the gym!
