Slowly but surely

I have not posted much in this blog. I've been working on a blog for my beautiful daughter Alecia. She will be going on a mission and I have made a blog so everyone can keep up with her.
I do need to post my progress though. I wish I could say that I have done amazing with my weight loss goals but I had a really difficult Feb. and kind of fell of my wagon. I have started back up and am doing well. I am still down from where I was in Dec. and am planning on continuing my diet. I also need to start exercising more and then maybe I will have better success. So slowly but surely I will get to where I want to be.

Success

I  am achieving  good results to my attempt to loose  weight. So far I have lost 10 pounds this week. I must continue to fight for this. I want to be small again so much. It is  important to me to show a good example to my children. It will be a long hard road. I know that I  will not always loose 10 a week but I also know that if I remember the excitement of  the first week that I continue to try hard. I am keeping record to  help  me when I get discouraged. I will succeed!

My Goal!

Years of neglect have  gotten me to a place that  I do not  want to be, so rather than  be  depressed about it I have  decided to do something. In the next year I will attempt to loose 100 pounds. I do not expect it to melt off, but with hard work, determination, and prayer I believe that this is possible. I need someplace to keep my progress so I have decided to put it on my blog. Here's to a year of hard work!

Just Thoughts

Wow,  I can't believe that it is 2013 already! It seems like only yesterday was 1990  and I  was graduating from  high school with dreams,  dreams and more dreams. I remember dreaming of going to college, getting married in  the Salt Lake temple to a man worthy  to  take  me there. I  dreamed of having children and raising  them to be strong members of the gospel, I dreamed of being  a stay at home mom who could do everything in  the eyes of her loving, adoring, perfectly behaved children ; ).  Conversely, I dreamed of being the  best  darn child therapist that ever walked   the earth too.

My life has  gone on and 23 years  later  I can say that I am  truly blessed. I  have  achieved,  to  a certain  degree, all of my  dreams. I  may not be a  world renowned child therapist but I can hold my  own in my "office"/bedroom with my wonderful  children. I am married to an amazing man who loves  me and our children and I am extremely grateful to  be  the  mother  of  7 beautiful children who have and are gaining testimonies of the Gospel of  Jesus Christ.  I have  two college degrees too.

So  by  the world's standards  I may not be considered very successful but  who  wants to be  measured  by  the  worlds standards. I  pray  that there  will  be a  day  when I hear the sweet words...Well Done my good and  faithful  servant,  Well Done Teresa.. You  have done all I  sent you to  do.
