Thank you, Timi!

If you happened to read the first comment from my last post, you would see that Timi, who I'm blessed to have as my first cousin, suggested "My Plate" from the livestrong.com website.  Well, I checked it out and I was blown away at how perfect it is for me and my goal!  It's the most incredible website for tracking food you eat, calories burned, and more.  I've tried other websites before, but they took too much time.  I was amazed at how easy and helpful this site is and would recommend it highly.

Last night I put in the food I ate yesterday, and saw that I definitely needed to burn more calories for the day.  I'm ready to start today with my new food diary in mind.  Let's see how it goes!

It's sure been a while since I gave an update on either my weight loss goals or my summer happenings!

It's been a very busy summer.  We've had wonderful times with my mom, my sisters family, Mom and Dad Murrill, and of course Mark, Steph and RoRo.  The boys are doing wonderfully and doing new things everyday.

This weekend Mike is on a motorcycle trip around Michigan's upper peninsula.  He was gone last weekend too, so the boys and I are especially excited to have Mom Murrill here to help us stay sane this weekend!

Friday I weighed in at 167.4 pounds.  Not much progress in quite a while with my weight loss goal, but I've thoroughly enjoyed my summer vacation and all the delicious foods that went along with it. I'm still excited to keep at it and hopefully continue my process and reach my goal by December 31.  If I can lose about 8 more pounds I'll be pretty much where I was when I got pregnant with Max.  Although I think I'm at a plateau point, I need to keep at it.

I CAN DO THIS!!!  ....Right?
