First Marker

I've made it to the 10 pounder mark!!!!!

So excited, so excited.

Now it's on to the next 10, and then the next, and then the last! I'm really looking forward to this, and am so refreshed in my weight loss/health goals. I've finally realized that I cannot make this life change without God's help, His strength. I can't do it alone!

Today I've started the day early, which I'm also excited about. My desire is to be up in the morning to see my husband off to work, but he reminds me all the time that eventually I won't have this time to myself, I should soak it up now. How can you get out of the warm, cozy bed when you have a husband like that?! Well, although this is what he says, I know that it would make his morning brighter if I was up with him and saw him off, or had some breakfast with him. His tough exterior doesn't fool me!

So I'm up and I've already gotten a bunch of things done. I've been keeping a daily list which helps my productivity level during the days. Plus it makes me feel better when I can check things off, and of course when the dreaded question comes along: "So what do you do all day?"
Love that one.

I desire stability so much, and I'm not sure why. Maybe it's because of my broken family growing up, maybe it's because of my fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants personality. Maybe it's because I want to have it all together. Who knows. But I want it, I crave it. I work much better under stress, on a schedule. Well being at home means you typically have your own schedule, now doesn't it? And in my mind's eye, I can see myself in the future, getting up early regularly, maybe even before anyone else is up, to have time by myself with God. I can see the day unfolding before me, and I can see myself in a good little routine. Today's a start to that!
