Weigh In Monday/Tuesday

Hey ya'll. I know I've been gone a while, just needing a break from things. You know that I've been struggling with my weight the past three months. Up Down, Up Down, it's been a roller coaster ride for me and not a fun one.

So, last Sunday I went off my birth control pills, which I've been on three months, and in that amount of time, I've lost 4.5 lbs. That was the only way to prove to myself that I was going to get anywhere off them or on them. So, my last weigh in I was 182lbs. This morning I was at 177.5lbs, which means I have lost 4.5lbs. I'm pretty happy with that number. Which means, it is proven that on BC I DO NOT LOSE WEIGHT.

Well, my blog break time was much needed in not worrying about what to write about, my life is not that exciting to have something everyday.

However, one thing I have been doing this month, beside observing National Type 1 Month for Type 1 diabetes awareness, so facebooking my thanks to God each day. Like on the 19th, I was thankful that God made people with different skills and talents especially those who can fix your heat when it goes out. Even though it might cost you a arm and a leg...oh and big toe too. He will provide.

It has been such a blessing to me to be able to think about my days and the blessing, even the small ones, that fill my life each day. Here are some example to prompt you to thinking of your blessings.
