Well count down to Christmas is just 3 days now and my kids are near crazed with excitement! I confess I've had a hard time getting into the Christmas spirit this year. With David working the two jobs we almost never get to see him anymore, and with every penny we make going to paying off debt we're not doing as much giving this year as we normally do.
But getting this close to the big day and seeing my children's joy in the holiday is starting to kindle a little bit of the spirit in my own heart. Children are such a joy and a blessing and their sweet innocence never fails to amaze me. I'm so grateful for the three children I've been given.
Thank you everyone for your notes and emails last week. I so appreciate your friendship and support during times like these. So first the good news! Getting under 200 lbs seems to have been the magic feather to me. I've ovulated all three months that I've kept my weight in the 190's. This has been one of the major barriers to me getting pregnant so I know you'll understand my joy in this. However a new problem has presented itself and it is still extremely unlikely that David and I will be able to conceive without further medical intervention. I ask for your continued prayers and support that this problem will resolve itself quickly and that I will be able to keep losing weight in the meantime!
This week I am hovering at 195. I'm not expecting a loss this week frankly, with it being Christmas, but I would like to maintain so that's my goal this week. I've lost 30 lbs to date and am very happy with that. I had my appointment with my weight loss specialist last week and I lost another percentage of body fat and 9 lbs during the last month. He was very happy with my progress so hopefully we can lose another 9 lbs this month. :-)
I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas, or a merry holiday of choice. I love you all!

Sorry about the new problem, but you've already gotten over a major hurdle, so you can get over this new one as well. And I have chosen to forget about exercising and my diet for this week only, so you are not alone. I don't think there is anything wrong with maintaining, but not loosing, weight around the holidays. Just hope for the best (that you don't GAIN). Although I still expect I'll gain a few pounds. Oh well. I wish we were closer, then you could keep me on track. Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas, friend! I'm so impressed with you. I love your attitude; you are always inspiring me!
