Suggested Home Reading
Suggest that the children study Alma 17:19–25, 18:8–40 at home as a review of this lesson.

My favorite thing to do is make Missionary Badges for each child. You can access the print out for the here:
I print out the badges on white card stock, cover each badge with "lament" clear contact paper because I don't own a lamentor. Then I hot glue a pin on the back of each badge (I find them at Micheal's or Craft Warehouse in the jewelry making section).

Weight Loss Journey Week 6

This week I lost an additional 2 pounds!

The steps I logged on my pedometer were:
April 16: 10138
April 17: 10069
April 18: 10191
April 19: 9069
April 20: 10803
April 21: 10412
April 22: 11947

Total weekly steps: 73,529 
Another miles stone is that I crossed 100 miles in the last 3 weeks! Woo hoo!

Here is my nutrition for the week:
I only had one bad day on sodium last week and that was on Thursday 2728 mg and the goal is not to exceed 2300. But overall I'm doing well on my goals. I supplement my magnesium, potassium and calcium with vitamins. I still haven't figured out how to hit the recommended number without going completely over in calories for the day.

 This week on my team challenge we have been challenged to eat a rainbow. Here is my shopping trip:
Pink lady apples (my favorite), oranges, banana, cantaloupe, strawberries, pineapple, purple grapes, zucchini, bell pepper, cauliflower, broccoli, lettuce, tomato, carrots and celery. 
I'm still going strong. There are days when I am tired when I get home from working so hard cleaning houses that I wonder how I'll get the energy to do my daily exercises of 30 minutes on my exercise bike, a 25 -30 minute walk and 15 minutes of strength training. I've been able to get my second wind and do my exercises. 

The only day I fell short this week was Thursday and I didn't do my 15 minutes of strength training. It was a huge work day that totally wiped me out. I'm happy to say that I did do the hour of bike and walking. 

I'm happy when I do my exercises and being on a weight loss challenge keeps me going even when I feel like I can't do anymore. I'm in this for the long run to get fit and thin again.

Weight Loss Journey Week 5

I lost 3.8 pounds this week!
AND
was the biggest loser on the team challenge!
PLUS
My team Cruisin' for Losin' is in first place this week!

(As a side note, I was in 2nd place for biggest losers last week. I've also been the biggest loser on my team both weeks! It's very rewarding to be on the challenge.)

It's all very exciting and motivating to keep going forward with my goals to lose weight this year.
 My SparkPeople user name is THINK2BFIT.
I'm still on a streak for 35 days on:
 riding my stationary bicycle for 30 minutes each day
logging my food
drinking at least 8 glasses of water each day
being active on SparkPeople by logging in each day.

It's nice to work toward streaks and not miss a day.

This past week the steps I took with my pedometer and my exercise minutes:
4/10 Sat: 12705 steps / 84 min of exercise 
4/11 Sun: 6176 steps / 55 min of exercise 
4/12 Mon: 9667 steps / 84 min of exercise 
4/13 Tues: 10440 steps / 93 min of exercise
4/14 Wed: 11255 steps / 153 min of exercise
4/15 Thurs: 9110 steps / 100 min of exercise
4/16 Fri: 9439 steps / 137 min of exercise

 Friday food log:
 Saturday food log:
I've been really tired this week because I've did a major clean for one of my customers who purchased a new house. It always wipes me out. I had to really make myself do my exercises on Wednesday when I started the new house major clean and finished it on Friday. I put in 12 hours of major cleaning - 6 hours per day plus the other house I had scheduled to clean. (I clean 2 houses per day).  

In a couple of weeks I am going to clean the old house they are moving out of. Exhausting and I use lots of muscle - but love the extra cash!

I hope that I can continue to lose weight every week and keep on track. It's kind of hard to image I'm on week 5 and still doing well on all my goals. I think blogging helps me stay motivated and accountable.

Thanks for joining in on my journey.
