Dieting Once Again!

As of April 25, I joined the wonderful world of health and fitness again. This time by means of My Fitness Pal online. I have worked out with Jillian Micheal's 30 day shred for three days straight! I am so proud of myself. I have managed to attain my goal of 1620 calories a day. If I can keep this up for an extended length of time (this time) I can lose a pound a week. My goal is to lose 20-25 pounds. So hopefully, in 5 months time, I can scream it from a mountaintop (figuratively speaking of course) that I attained my goal. Help keep me accountable to this new regime by 'pep talking' me on Facebook every once in a while. That would be a great help. Keep me in your prayers that I can do this, not only to work off some unwanted weight, but to succeed in a healthier/longer life.

In the last couple of weeks, I have been adjusting to a change in schedule. Nathan has lovingly and willingly taken on the role of getting the girls off the bus and cooking the weekday meals. I have been working the afternoons Monday through Friday. The new job has been great! I get to work in a daycare located in Lebanon Missouri. The best part of the job is that I get to take my kids to work with me! Alexander has loved the new setting. It took Danielle a little bit, and its been a bit rough for her to transition to new napping times, but she is enjoying being around other kids besides her siblings. 
Makenzie turned 7 years old on April 4. And she has been a busy young lady in the first grade. She has completed Rocket Math all the way through Letter T. If she completes the worksheets through letter Z by the end of the school year, she gets rewarded with a root-beer float! She has been working hard all school year long to earn that reward! She got to go to Bennett Springs with her class last Friday and she learned all about Trout.
Ashely turned 6 on April 6. She will be graduating from Kindergarten next month! 
Alex will be 3 in two weeks! And he has mastered daytime potty training! YEAH!
We celebrated Easter with Nathan's parents, Mark and Jean; and Sarah and Travis. Nathan's first Easter services went well, and I am so proud to stand beside him and support him in his passion to spread the LOVE and WORD of Jesus Christ.
