Busy, Busy Fall
I can't wait to see commercials that are not political. I am so sick of these! Can you tell I'm watching TV while I'm blogging?
I'm going to be keeping you updated in the next few months with my weight loss. My good friend Lori and I are going to be doing Body-for-Life together, which is the same program that I did back in 1999 and lost over 20 pounds. I kept it off for 4 years and then had the girls, now I've tried too many things in the last three years and I'm going back to the only thing that has ever really worked for me. And with an accountability partner this time...I'm so excited about it! Our goal date is New Year's Day. We will both have reached our goals and then we will go on a shopping spree while our hubbies watch football all day! My goal this time is 28 pounds...I'll keep you in the loop!
Jon is leaving tomorrow morning to go with Dennis Jackson to IWU for two days and then he's at a conference this weekend. In two weeks he will be going to CA for a conference with Chad McCallum and then two weeks after that he's making a quick trip to Roanoke to meet with the Parkway Church Board. We are coming into a very busy time for us and we appreciate your prayers. And...as always, Journey needs lots of prayer too. Luckily, I think Jon and I will be able to get a date this Friday night. It will be much needed, we have not had alone time in months. Last weekend, Jon did a wedding and I was not able to go to the rehearsal dinner since we didn't have a babysitter. Anyway, the parents of the groom felt so bad that I wasn't able to be there (the dinner was at Red Lobster, one of my faves) that they bought us a gift card. So our next date will be free! Nice.

Good luck on the new *or old* diet; it's great to have an accountability partner to keep you on track. Does busy mean good? You sound happy regardless, glad to hear all the new happenings.
thanks for letting Jon go to California...I will make sure he brings you back a present!
Thanks Chad...I can be bought!
wishing you luck on your diet. praying for you through this busy time
i didn't know you were doing body for life? :)
We haven't met, but I connected to your blog from Cathy's in Missouri. She and I knew each other when we lived in Columbia. I'm writing to say good luck with Body-for-Life. It's the only plan that's ever worked for me and my husband, too. We lost weight in 2000 and were finally able to have the baby we'd been wanting for several years! We've restarted the plan several times over the past 8 years and it always works. I LOVE free day, and the fact that I definitely feel better when I'm exercising and eating right!
Do you watch Biggest Loser, too? It's like our Tuesday night 'meeting' - and it's free!
