I'm dripping with motivation, things are looking good

Here we are in the perfect not too warm nearly summer sunshiny days of a Sacramento spring. Today was an odd one where Samuel did'nt sleep from 2-5. So what do you do with a kiddo at about 3:30 in the afternoon when the pool opened down the street last weekend? GO! Yay. We got there and met some friendly kids who were waitting for them to open the doors at 4. Then our friends from capital city church international show up. mary and her three kids and due with the 4th in three weeks. These guys are so fun and sweet and i just see pleasant Holy Spirit love all over them. She did'nt wear her suit but totally sat on the edge and let sam hang onto her wet skirt while he would'nt even grab my shorts at all. But hes a fish and i think he thought he could do like the older boys and be all over the place. He did'nt do anything too scary for my nerves, but he will probably be swimming in the next year or so. then theres Patience who blows me away all over the place. Today she was not freaked at all even when we first went in and it was pretty cold til we could adjust. The whole time she was wanting to be pulled all around to get up on the edge and then jump back to me again. I am super blessed with such daring kids. I think that we could'nt be luckier. i would go on and on about her right now but i could probably catch you all up on my success at dieting with the time i have left before we put on The Family Stone at 9.
I have stuck with every last thing i've made my mind up to do. No sweets. No eatting after 6 at the latest. 4 meals a day that are about 3 hours apart. 8 minutes in the morning of light weight lifting and resistance training. And now i'm looking for tips all over the place. Like yesterday i read some good info on eatting most of my alotted calories earlier in the day and saving the lightest meal for last. Can you believe that tonight for dinner i had a bowl of soup that was 1 and a half cups and that did it. Maybe its because its my favorite soup in existence and maybe its because i made it so hot and had to eat it so slowly, but i was really satisfied. thats like dietese! satisfied... thats probably a word i never ever used until i started this new way of life. Like Christianese. Anyways, i feel good and hope that i keep losing 4 pounds a week, because that would be double what i thought i'd lose in a week. AND...That could put me at my goal by the end of JULY!! I sort of have a new goal beyond my first but it does'nt have a goal date or a threatening picture attatched to it. I want all my girls to be encouraged here and to know that what you come up with can work and it does'nt have to be unbeleivable, just reasonable. But now i'll get off my soapbox and say goodnight.
