So folk here the stich. I gain a pound this past week and was not happy about it at all. So this week I am kicking butt and taking names to ensure that I get some more lbs off. I didn't get a chance to stay for the meetings the past two weeks so I want to do that this coming week. I do think they make a difference :)
I do have some good news. I am back on track for reading the Bible in a year. I started over again using this website that you just click a link and the reading for that day comes up. It is so much easier that way for some reason. I thought I would hate it but I don't. If you want to try it yourself this is the link http://www.ewordtoday.com/year/ . I also put a link for girlfriends in God. I know it sounds cheesy but I happen to love this devotional. You can find it at http://www.girlfriendsingod.com/Devotions/TodaysDevotion/tabid/97/Default.aspx
So much change has been going on it is a really good thing. One of the biggest differences was realizing that it is time to stop thinking about doing things and just doing them. I know it sounds so simple but for some reason it took me a long time to get. It is still not perfect because there are more things that I need to just be doing but so much more has been getting done then before. It is amazing.
I encourage you guys to try just doing things this week instead of spending time thinking about doing them. It is revolutionary.
Hope this blog finds you and your family well.

Milestones
So today my friends I have some exciting news to share with you. I went to weigh-in this morning and now weight what I did when I was in middle school! Big doings. I am so excited and happy. I am looking forward to reaching my next milestone on my journey. Next up will be losing 30lbs which I am close to doing. Hopefully I will reach it next week. I have also decided to look into a personal trainer really soon. I just have to work out how to fit it all in. It will so be worth it though :)
I have had the fortunate blessing to have a little more free time than usual this week. I have been using it to spend some quality time with my friends. I have had lots of good conversations and watched lots of good movies. I saw the Omen which creeped me out but made me more sad then anything else I think. I saw Life As We Knew it which was really cute. We also started to Netflix the 3rd season of Buffy. Let me tell you this show is great. I cannot even tell you how emotional some of the episodes are. I love it.
I am being taught several things by God. I am being taught to have patience, that imperfection is ok sometimes, that my self-esteem should be way higher than it is, that everyone is worthy of love and to appreciate it in whatever form it may come in to you, that family is not just by blood even though your blood family is very important. These are just a few things going on. Life is crazy and for the most part I love it.
Life is a constant process of change and of sometimes making mistakes and learning the hard way. What you do during the change and once you realize that you have made a mistake is what is important. God is constantly working with us and in us if we seek Him and are striving to be more like Him. We are human so we are gonna stumble and fall it is important to get back up and dust off our knees.
Think about what things God is trying to teach you in your life. I bet once you think about it you will realize that it is more than what you originally thought :)
Peace ~K

Getting Back To It
Hello folk just thought I would give you guys a little update. I think that this week is going pretty good. This whole trying to get back on track thing again is pretty hard.
Wednesdays and Thursdays are Two of the longer days in my week. So hence not that much get done in the way of the goals I am sharing about with you guys. I did however get back into going to the gym before my day starts on Monday and Tuesday. I am planning on going again later today.
I have gone back to tracking with my points since I had been slacking off. It has been going ok. I ate some popcorn when I got home last night that I didn't really have the points for. I also had breakfast at a mom and pop restaurant with my dad this morning while my car was being worked on and thus don't know the exact points of the food. I did not make the best decision that I could have. You live and learn though and I will just eat light the rest of the day and take it easy the for the rest of the weekend. Oh and I have also started to lift weights when I go to the gym in hopes of getting rid of flabby marshmallow arms : P. I will keep you posted as to what happens at the weigh-in. By the way one of my new favorite shows is Too Fat for 15.
I don't think that there is too much else to update you guys on. Oh I almost forgot the highlight of my week was getting Beauty and the Beast Diamond Edition.
I am so glad that I am getting back into my blogg. If you guys have blogs let me know and I will follow them :)
Also it is Breast Cancer Awareness month I encourage you all to wear as much pink this month as you can and think about anyone you know who has been touched by breast cancer.
I hope all you guys have an amazing weekend!
Love ya,
K

Starting Over Part II
Wow it has been like forever since I have blogged. Sorry to keep you guys in suspense. I have been busy trying to adjust to grad school. I still don't think that I am fully adjusted. I am however trying to get things back in perspective. I was consuming all my free time with doing work for grad school. Which is a good thing. However I need to figure out how to fit other things in as well.
I am trying to do my best to get to gym in the morning before my day starts. I am just starting this so we will see how this goes. I am trying to set aside a couple hours a day to get other things done such as devotions and writing my novel. This is just starting as well, so again, we will see what happens. Basically since I last wrote not much has happened and I kind of fell off the bandwagon. It really stinks when things don't go your way. I am writing to say that I am going to be trying very hard to get back on the bandwagon. Consider this starting over part II in a way. It is time to go back to the basics of what I was doing before while I was doing pretty good. They seem to have gone out the window. So here is to being hopeful and optimistic that this really is a new start. :)
I hope that you guys can gain a little hope and optimism if you are working on something and it isn't going that well. I will be doing my best to keep you posted on how starting over part II is going.
On a lighter note I saw the documentary babies which is good. I am finding out that I like documentaries which is weird to me. I went with my roomie to go see Easy A tonight. I thought it was really funny. I also have had an obsession with chicken cesar salad as of late. The best one so far is from Carrabbas!
I have missed you guys! Have an amazing week!
