two days in a row...

I'm on a roll! Well, the goal is to keep going each day. success on following through with the work out with Amanda last night. 20 minutes on the treadmill, some arm work with the weights and some ab work on the ball. The tv was stuck on the Disney channel...so we watched Wizards of Waverly Place. John didn't go with us, but I am hoping to change that when we go again hopefully tonight.
In the next week when meal planning I am incorporating more and more veggies and hopefully going meat-free and dairy-free in some of them. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have already used all of the red meat that was in our freezer, now I need to use the chicken and ground turkey. I don't use red meat a lot, just when John finds some on sale at work.
Another thing we are starting on in January is following God's plan for us financially. We are hoping to sit down with a friend of ours and really tighten our belt so we can reach our goals (debt free and own our own home) but that is for another blog.
I really appreciate all your comments and prayers.

if you are wondering...

What happened? Where have I been? How is my journey going? Well, not sure why I quit writing, guess I just got in the habit of not doing it. I haven't gone anywhere, so no change there. my journey? Well I am struggling. The past month I have maintained at 261 until recently where I have gained three pounds and I am at 264. A friend and I are hoping to start going to the gym together in the evenings, with a goal of keeping each other accountable. I am hoping that Jon will join us as well.
Beginning New Years day, Jon and I are going to be starting the Daniel Fast. I am sharing this because we need some prayer as we prepare to enter into the fast. We will be abstaining from meat, sweets and other things. Basically eating a somewhat vegan diet, and drinking only water. I am struggling whether or not to journal this part of my journey, because I don't want it to cause me or my husband to stumble or hinder the goal of our fast. Again, I really just want prayer as we prepare for and enter into the fast.
Why am I so honest? I have to be in order to keep myself accountable. Thank you to anyone who ever said anything to me whether in a message here on my blog, on Facebook, at work or at church. That keeps me accountable too, and it also is such a blessing to know I have so many people cheering me on and praying for me.
