Does anyone else watch the Disney Channel? Specifically, Octonauts? No, just us, ok. Well, they're land animals who live in the sea, and they help out distressed ocean faring creatures during each episode. After the happily ever after there's the "Creature Report", detailing the scientific, physical, social, and other characteristics of the creature they've just helped. All that to say, I'm giving my weekly "Creature Report".
At our current rate of a pound or so a week, it'll take almost two years to lose my desired 80 lbs. Throw adding to the Coats brood in 2014 to the mix, and sometimes I wonder if I'll ever get there. Having the Curves Complete program Coach is extremely beneficial. After yesterday's weigh-in she reminded me that this is a permanent weight loss, and it may take a little longer. Fast plan diets are usually only successful in the short term with participants gaining most or all of their weight back at program's end. There will be no gaining this back, especially if it takes 80 weeks to lose the 80 lbs.
Patience is not a virtue I've mastered. I'll wait for you all to regain composure from the shock of that statement. Done? Ok. Good.
Total lost to date: 6.2 lbs, 12 inches
Our church will be concluding a series entitled "Dreams" this Sunday with a guest speaker. I encourage anyone who doesn't have a home place of worship to join us at Faith Church this Sunday 9:15 or 11:00. During this past Sunday's message, our Pastor encouraged us to be specific with our dreams, write them down, pray for them specifically. Let us not limit our God's ability by not asking for the specifics we desire.
These are a few of mine:
I want to lose 80 pounds.
I no longer want to be physically limited by my weight and out-of-shapeness.
I want to have adventures with my family that challenge us physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
I want to run a 5K. Homegirl has never even run a mile straight - ever.
I want to wear the same size I did circa November 2004.
I want to share my story of how God is moving in my life throughout this journey.
I want to have another baby next year.
I want to take singing lessons.
Thanks for letting me share,
Octonauts at ease until the next adventure!

ReplyDeleteHaha! That's actually one of the shows I like better! If I never saw Yo Gabba Gabba again, I'd be a happy girl! I have flex hours, so I can get off at 4 some days. Let's set a day or two we go each week and I can get Cohen early from daycare and meet you there!
