Atkins again...

I started the induction phase of Atkins yesterday. I had halfheartedly started on Thursday but I knew I had a fondue night with some girlfriends on Saturday- so I waited to officially cut the carb cord on Sunday... I'm actually 2 lbs lower than I was last Wednesday! I'm trying to work out like a madwoman as well- so that I can kick this butt into gear. :)

Can I do it? That is the question... I set a goal of 15 lbs to lose by Sam's wedding on the 19th of May. I'm going to push myself and see what happens.

Maybe I'll post before/after pictures in a few months! wouldn't that be fun. If only some tv show would sponsor me and do the "Swan" stuff to me. :) Free Lasik and laser hair removal? :) ha!

I'm praying for you Britney...

I'm a housewife/mom in the mountains of Colorado- but I'm a praying woman. I believe in the power of the Holy Spirit to move and soothe and create new life. I'm praying for Britney Spears a lot lately. Every time I hear about her on the news I just wish they'd leave the girl alone. I know how hard it is to raise two little boys and still keep your wits about you... and I really am moved and am praying that God will reach her and sustain her through this tough time. I can't imagine what it's like for her with media in her face all the time- and she doesn't have the help of a supportive husband either.

Oh Britney. If you ever find yourself in Colorado- please come by and just REST with me. I'll make you a cup of decaf starbucks house blend and I'll let you chill on my couch. All our boys can play and get dirty in the backyard while we talk about the challenges of motherhood and womanhood and just talk. I hope you have friends like that and down-time like that Britney. I don't know what I'd do without God and my good friends. If you want to talk about Jesus- or just not talk at all, come on over.

Pay for my Lasik Anyone?

I've been hoping that Lasik is in my future but every time I see the price ($2000/eye!) I just lose heart that we'll ever afford it. Not that we don't have money. God has blessed us with a very comfortable life... but there are other things that come before eye surgery.

So, I'm putting a link to PayPal on here... and I'll pray for a generous person to come to this blog and be moved to pay for my lasik! :) Maybe I'll be one of those fortunate folks who have a long lost relative that can't figure out who should receive their estate... Or, if I get 4000 people to each donate $1.00...

It's worth a try...
