SERIOUSLY!!!???!!!?!?!?!
We just finished eating supper tonight (leftovers all the way!) and Jenni comes to me and says, "Your tummy is getting bigger! I wish my tummy could be that big!"
Now, I know that she had the sweet "I want to be grown up" sentiments that made her want to be like me, but for reals? I would even have a better time if she mentioned that my boobs were big and wanted big boobies like me... that I can deal with... but my big tummy??? Sheesh! Talk about motivation. I seriously need to take care of this tummy...
Now, granted these last few weeks have been a bit of a yo-yo for me in the eating and losing weight department. Mostly because I do really well for a little while and then something happens... like eating a giant cupcake with way too much frosting on top, not to mention the hidden frosting that was injected into the center of the cupcake. Seriously, that thing was so incredibly sweet that my teeth hurt afterwards. The only good thing about eating that cupcake was that I needed to drink four glasses of water just to stop the nautious feeling that came with that amount of sugar. I don't think I will ever eat a cupcake like that again.... or at least not for a really long time. I also have to admit that later on that same evening I also ate a really big cinnamon bun... let me tell you, when I woke up the next morning I felt DISGUSTING!!! Again, I don't think I will be doing that ever again. That whole self control thing really did go out the window. However, rather than throwing in the towel (what I would normally do) I just woke up and started again fresh in the morning.
That is probably the biggest thing that I have learned so far in this journey. Sometimes we make big mistakes, and we can give up, and just say, "I can't do this", "I don't have the self control for this", or another negative LIE that is being fed to us by the enemy. I can do this!!! I have the power of Christ in my corner, and yes, it is hard... very hard... but I CAN do it, as long as I don't just rely on my own power. I cannot do this alone. I need my friends, I need my husband, I need my kids, and more than that I need God.
After my first week in Nova Scotia, doing so well with my weight loss, I managed to gain all my weight back plus some... Lame! I did have a wonderful time in Nova Scotia with my family and there are some last time/this time pictures at the bottom of this post.
Also, while I was in NS my darling cousin, Alice, asked me if I could crochet her a Doctor Who replica scarf that the 4th doctor wore. The picture that I got off the internet looked like this...

I did get to go to this amazing yarn store in NS though, and so once I am finally done this scarf I will start working on some amazing projects with the best yarn I have ever had my hands on. I will have to post the pictures of the finished products before I put them up for sale. I really am very excited to get working on my projects... yay!
So, I guess the moral of this story is that family is awesome and you will do any thing for them just to see them happy and that the whole "try, try, and try again" mantra that we were taught as children really does apply to real life. If you are going to try something new or make a big change in your life then there are going to be hiccups and set backs, but just try, try and try again and eventually you will get it.
