I have had a busy week and haven't been able to blog much. I've had a successful week with my weight loss so I'm really excited about getting closer to my goals. It has been really inspiring to hear about some of my friends results as well. I am so proud of you!!

My week started out pretty good, but I was still getting frustrated because I wasn't losing any weight. On Tuesday night I was reading in the book of Exodus Chapter 12 where God is telling Moses and Aaron how to prepare for the passover. In Verse 15 God tells them to not eat yeast (unleavened bread)for 7 days. A thought came over me and I felt like I should also give up yeast for 7 days. It is very hard....yeast is in EVERYTHING! So my diet consists of fruit, veggies, eggs, and meat. I could eat Ezekiel bread but its too expensive so I'll do without for now. I can really feel the weight coming off. When I get cravings and want to give up I go right back to the Bible and read and pray. I told my husband what I was feeling lead to do and he decided he needed to sacrifice something as well....so he quit eating sweets. If you know Jason you know he LOVES his sweets so this has been really tough for him. Tyler also jumped in and gave up his favorite LIFE cereal. So the whole family is on board. We may keep this up until Easter. It's been great because we are all reading our Bible's and praying more.

I don't even remember exactly what I've eaten these last few days....but it's all good stuff so I eat as much as I want. I haven't been exercising as much. I need to be more consistent with working out. I was really sore from Wed's workout so I took Thursday off and don't have an excuse for last night. Tonight I am going to do P90x for as long as I can take it!

Good Luck everyone! Thanks a bunch for reading along.
Blessings,
Nichole
