Another update - Enjoying summer and feeling really happy! :)

Okay, so it's August 7th and I thought I'd give another update since it's been a while. I am doing great! I am thoroughly enjoying the summer! The kids and I have been busy doing so many fun things. We've spent a lot of time in the pool (we're in there at least 3 times a week, if not more). We've also been going to a lot of places, such as, my parents' house, Legoland, Santa Ana Zoo, Long Beach Aquarium, the beach, camping, parks, etc. I've also been spending time with my close friends and family. The kids and I are having so much fun and I know that we'll all be sad when summer is over! The kids' school starts on Sept. 7th, so we have 4 1/2 weeks left of fun. We have another camping trip coming up at the end of this month, which I am really looking forward to! It is tent camping at Crystal Cove (beach camping). I can't wait!! :D

So, last week, I decided to make a photo album on Facebook composed of pictures of myself from when I was skinny. I was thinking that those pictures might inspire/motivate me to lose this weight, but instead, they caused me to reaccess my weightloss goals. In those pictures, I was anywhere between 113-125 lbs and honestly, I looked sickly/unhealthy in a lot of them. Right now, I'm at 173 lbs, so I'm thinking that a good goal for me is 145 lbs (not too skinny and not extra unneeded weight). I a still sticking to my workout plan. I workout every other day on the Wii Gold's Gym Dance Workout. I also swim at least 3-4 days a week, if not more. I am eating mostly vegetarian. I don't cook with meat. The only times I eat meat are when I eat out or bring home food and then it's only chicken or turkey; no red meat!

Spiritually, I am doing very well! I started going back to church about two weeks ago and I feel closer to God than ever! I'm also planning to start thoroughly studying the Bible and I've being doing a lot of reading on Creationism vs. The Evolution Theory. I've read a lot of things that have opened up my eyes and just totally make sense to me! And spiritually, I am growing and thoroughly enjoying it! I'm already seeing the Lord work in my life. It's amazing and exciting!

I guess that's it for now!
