Weight Watcher week one review

So this whole weight watchers thing ROCKS!  I wont divulge my points per week because you could extrapolate my monstrous weight from it, but I will say that it is completely generous and I wasn't hungry even once this week.  Now I realize that my values will change as my weight decreases--but so will my appetite.  This is the beauty of the program.  I used all my weekly points of most of my daily points each day.  I ate Mexican food at La fiesta (smarter decisions of course), had a margarita, ate dessert nearly every day, enjoyed 3 meals a day, as much coffee as I wanted and still managed to lose at least .4 lb and probably more.  I did make the mistake to guess my weight rather than actually weigh at the beginning of the week--if I base my new weight on what I weighed at the Doctors office this week then I lost 3.4 lbs.  Either way a loss is a loss and I can live with that.  The program proved itself to me.  I am excited to say that I am 100% motivated to stick with it. 

My husband also did great this week. Of course, as we ALL know, men lose faster than women, so he totally blew me out of the water this week--I find it encouraging not defeating.  Here is his account of this week:
"My first week of weight watchers--from a guy's standpoint.  I really enjoyed starting a structured program that seems to work.  Since I was soooo overweight, my daily points allowed were very high, which was nice.  My goal for the first week was to not use all those daily points, because I felt like if I did then I would still be eating too much.  Even though you can eat what you want n weight watchers, I still tried to make better choices than I normally do.  My results for week one was 4.4 lbs lost!!!!  And I was VERY excited and motivated for week two.  My goal for week two is to exercise more, and continue my strategy from week 1."
Great encouragement and testimony to the lifestyle this program fosters.  I think we have decided our dog Sadie needs to be on weight watchers--she is stealing all of our other dog, Peyton's, food!!!  And growling about it!

Silly Sadie
My favorite weight watcher finds this week: Smart ones cookie sundae dessert, Weight watcher dark chocolate dulce de leche ice cream bars...ummmmmmmmmmmmm

How to prepare for the Composite Science 8-12 TEXES certification exam

My goodness!  It has been a while since I have written.  It has been a wild few months with some great achievements, a new job, cool training, lots of studying and some awesome experiences.  What I feel to be one of my greatest accomplishments is passing the composite science TEXES exam.  So, I thought I would take the time to blog about how I prepared for it. I know that when I was getting ready to take the test, I was a bit discouraged with the lack of reliable resources about how I should prepare. Let me begin with a bit of background.  Everyone will approach this test from difference backgrounds, experience etc.  If you are right out of college with a good understanding of Chemistry and Physics as well as basic Biology concepts you may be able to barely pass the exam--but pass none-the-less.  However, if you are like me--several years removed from any sort of formal education, you are going to have to work for it.  I graduated Baylor in 2003 with a BA in Biology.  I had 17+ cours

Growing our Heritage from A-Z: In Search of a Full Quiver Month 3

Here we are again, I posted this early on in our adoption Journey with A and it still holds true:  "It feels like a  Tale of Two Cities , "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times"....ALL AT THE SAME TIME." Some days are great and some are terrible, horrible, awful but the struggle is worth it.  We know that in adopting older boys we may very well be their last chance at a forever family, so we always go in knowing that the behaviors will be tough but that we will see it through.  Our resolve has definitely been tested.  However, by the grace of God and patience that surpasses all understanding,  we continue to struggle through each issue as it arises. We see massive gains yet there are still huge setbacks that require time to regain lost ground--but we are getting there.  I am 'mommy' and my husband is "daddy" and I get tons of hugs and snuggles and "I Love Yous".  A few weeks ago, after a inconceivably rough day, as I was

Fear is a Liar

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgnClrx8N2k Today as was trying to soak in my small window of quiet alone time with the Lord (and without kids) something struck me. This song came to mind and I was reminded that we, in our fleshly bodies, often forget who the real enemy is. What really is behind the pandemic? The rioting? The social unrest? The political posturing? The fear-mongering? The lies? The finger-pointing? The fear? It isn't your neighbor, or your president, or your neighbor or some social justice group or another country--it is our oldest and most cunning foe. Ephesians 6:12 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. This enemy often knows us better than we know ourselves. He can be persuasive and attractive and manipulative but he VERY MUCH is the TRUE enemy. John 10:10 10 The thief comes only to steal and kil
