Weekly Weight Loss Update and Studying

Well I have officially lost 29 pounds! I am so excited. The pounds just continue to fall off! I hope that when I go back to the doctor on September 23rd he is just blown away by how much weight I have lost! This lifestyle change has been wonderful for me. I am adding in the exercise beginning today so hopefully the pounds will continue to melt away! Yippee!!!! My husband now has a bike. So we have bicycle's, rollerblades, and plenty of DVD workouts that I can do to get my self moving. Continued prayer for me to exercise would be appreciated! Much love and thanks to everyone for their continued prayers and support!

Today will be spent continuing to study for my first set of nursing school tests. It is always nerve racking to take the first test. It is like playing a guessing a game, you never know what to study and of course everything is fair game. Hopefully they aren't too terrible and hopefully I retain the right information! I will let you know how they turn out. I have a quiz and a test on Wednesday in my Fundamentals class and a Pharmacology test on Thursday. Have a great day!

Birthday Cookout!

Today we had my sister-in-law Leslie and I's birthday cookout! It was a lot of fun with Eric's side of the family. His grandparents were there, his aunt and uncle, his other uncle, his mom and dad and his siblings. We made homemade ice cream, had birthday cake, grilled out steaks and chicken, had potatoes and a huge buffet of food! It was all delicious and it was a lot of fun to be able to hang out with everyone and celebrate our birthdays. I did partake in a small spoonful of homemade ice cream and very small piece of cake, I mean it was my birthday cake I had to have some :)Below are some pictures from today.
