Grammy and Grandpa came and kidnapped Timothy for the night. We had a few friends over and played Wii and Apples to Apples. It was a great time and I enjoyed the company. It is nice to have adult time every now and then.
The challenge is going well and I am so loving the new mindset I am in right now. I do not feel like it is "punishment" anymore, it is becoming normal to not want all the things I know I should not have. I have done very well with my points this week and I only have one more day to go. I know I can, I know I can....
Have a great night... even though I know most of you are asleep already. :)

Day 40 - Another 2 Pound Loss
I weighed in this morning and I was down another 2 pounds. Whoo Hoo!!! It feels good knowing that I have lost over 18 pounds in the last few months. I have committed to losing 2 more pounds this week and I know I will be able to achieve that goal. My Jenny counselor is awesome and the entire staff has rallied around to encourage and love on me. Feels pretty good to know so many are in this with me.
My heels are really bothering me this week and getting on the Wii Fit has been challenging for me. I feel like both my Achilles are going to snap when I am trying to walk on them. It is better once I get moving, but the first minute of walking is a killer. I need to get back into the ice and stay off routine... ugh. Bike riding does not aggravate them that much, so I am excited to do more of that once the weather clears up.
Have a great night. ~~ Trina

Day 39 - God is Good!!
I received the best news today, Timothy was selected via lottery to attend California Montessori Project for Kindergarten for the next school year! This is a charter school in the San Juan school district and after having a conversation with a friend (Thank you Jen W.) at Thanksgiving last year and touring the school earlier this year, we knew that this would be the best option for him. I have never stressed so much over something that was so out of my control before, but I knew I needed to turn it over to God and let it be His will. Lots of prayer later and a great phone call today, we heard that we made it!
I am so thankful that he gets to attend there and I know that it will be a good fit for him. After our mishap this year with Dewey, it was a bit discouraging. But God is GOOD and we are very grateful and feeling very blessed. There are not a lot of spaces available at this school and I know God had his hand in this decision. Thank you Lord for the blessings you pour out over us, even though we are completely undeserving.
Ok, so I have to weigh in at Jenny tomorrow and I am hoping that the bike riding has helped with this weeks totals. I will report them tomorrow.
God Bless, ~~ Trina

Day 38 - What a Great Day!
Do you ever just feel like you had a great day, even when nothing spectacular happened? Today was a day like that for me. It was a pretty normal day, Timmy off to school, returned a few movies to Blockbuster, mailed a care package(full of goodies) to a college student and went into the office. (All of this by 9am)
Worked in the office until noon, picked Timmy up from school, came home, ate lunch, worked. The great thing was that when Mike got home, he suggested we go for another bike ride to the school. It was a nice day and the sun was still out for awhile. It was great and Timmy did a much better job of keeping his bike upright today. We were out for about 1 1/2 hours and then came home, ate dinner, talked on the phone with a great friend and then played Lego's with Timmy.
We rounded the day off by reading a few books and prayers. Nothing special, but it was all special. I hope that makes sense. Have a great night and I think I will be turning in early tonight.

Day 37 - Biggest Loser
I cannot wait to get to watch Biggest Loser tonight. I have not been able to watch an episode since before the Olympics and I have really missed it. I need to catch up on the peeps and see how they are doing. Today was a good day, lots of work again, but good.
Timmy has not had great days at school, but it is nice to know that it is just focus issues as of lately and not behavior issues. He knows that if he does not have a good day at school from start to finish, he has to take a nap when he gets home... and he considers that Cruel and Unusual Punishment. SO for the last two days, he has made choices at school that have landed him a nap. It is so funny, because he will throw a fit that he has to nap, but will end up sleeping for three hours.
Well, one class down and one to go this semester. I passed my final in PowerPoint 2007 with 100% and I have a 99.89% in the class. I have been looking to see if I can pick up a second 8 weeks class, but have not found one yet. I am going to schedule an appointment with a Counselor to make sure I am on track for graduating at the end of the fall semester.
Have a great night and more tomorrow!! ~~ Trina

Day 36 - Work, Work, and More Work!!
I definitely cannot complain about a lack of work. I have a lot on my plate right now, but it is nice to be busy. The one thing I can say about being busy is that the time flies by so fast. One minute is is Friday after work and the next, it is Monday evening.
As I was working yesterday I tried to remember the last time I had fast food, and I cannot!! That is such a good feeling. I can remember not too long back when I could not remember the last time I had anything other than fast food. Now when we tell Timmy that we are going to go out to dinner and he asks if we can go to MacDonald's and I just remind him that I choose not to go there and he says "Oh yea, you are not allowed to eat at any place where they give you food through a window into the car, right Mommy?" I think it is important for him to know that it is not that I am not "allowed" to go there, it is just that I am making a choice to eat a more healthy and balanced meal.
Good news! I am in the process of cleaning out my craft room and getting back into stamping. My goal is to be stamping regularly by the end of this month. I cannot wait to get all organized and get some projects going. I miss my stamping and crafting... Having serious withdrawals.

Day 35 - Sunny Sunday
It was a beautiful day today. The sun was shining and all was good. Mike left early this morning with Timmy to go and visit his dad at the Swap meet, which left me home alone for several hours. Ahhh, how to spend them... I watched some "adult" themed TV and took a long refreshing shower. Once I was awake and ready to start my day, I hit the books and finished my homework.
When Timmy came home he was excited to tell me that he ate a hot dog with mustard only and it was yummy. He said he is a big boy now and used mustard instead of ketchup. He also told me that Grandpa's new motor home was pretty boring. There was just a couch, a bed, and a table, but not even a TV. Hmmm...
It is hard to believe that I am almost half way through the wellness challenge. It is getting easier and easier to not crave all the things I need to be avoiding and the accountability of Jenny every Friday also helps. Well, more tomorrow.
Pleasant dreams! ~~~ Trina
