Week 5 Get Down Glo Girl: With the Granddaughters

As you can see, I’ve got my arms full this morning. I’m babysitting my sweet, cuddly granddaughters (Juliette and Caroline) while their mother is at the dentist.  So, as I’m sure all of you moms, aunts, and grandmothers will understand, this post will be brief. Very, very brief. Multi-tasking is one thing, but blogging and babysitting? Impossible.

Today begins Week 5 of our Get Down Glo Girl journey, and just think: this time next week we’ll be halfway there! Way to glo, girls! But now it’s time for my weekly weigh-in and accountability report, so here goes:

This week, I lost 1 pound. Anybody else lose a pound or two? I know, it may not sound like much. But rejoice and be encouraged, sister glo girl, because . . .

. . . this what 1 pound looks like! Double those sticks, and that’s what 2 lbs. looks like. Half those sticks, and that’s what even a 1/2 lb. looks like. Are you encouraged yet? I am!

And as always, here’s my food/calorie/exercise list from last week, too:  Week 4 Food List

Okay, all of you Get Down Glo Girls, now it’s your turn to check in and let our group know how you’re doing. Did you lose a little weight? Was last week easier or harder than the previous week? What’s the Lord teaching you through this journey? Post your comments, glo girls, and let’s continue encouraging and praying  for one another this week!

Finally, this message is for those of you who joined our Get Down Glo Girl group a few weeks ago but haven’t checked in with us for a while:

Come BACK!

No, it’s not too late for you to complete the  Get Down Glo Girl journey with us. 

Just post a comment and

POOF! 

You’re back!

Oops! Time to go, girls. Juliette and Caroline need some cuddling, which absolutely works for me because . . .

So do I!

Love and prayers, your sister,

It’s your weekly check-in time, Glo Girls! Did you lose (or gain 🙁 ) a little weight last week? What’s the Lord teaching you through this journey? Can’t wait to hear from you!

    This whole time it’s been very very busy but the accountability has been wonderful…I will weigh in this week at weight watchers. I have been avoiding that but I need to not only do better in what I’m eating but Also be encouraged as I see it coming off or not. I had misplaced my swimsuit but yeah now I found it. So no more excuses for not swimming or going to water aerobics! Thanks for doing this…one day at a time :)!!! God bless! Carol

      The accountability is working for me, too, Carol. What a blessing to be on this journey with you! Praying for you.

    The picture of butter definately puts things in perspective!

    I am 4 weeks away from my first 1/2 marathon….ahhhh!!!! Here is what my last run was like! (I totally regressed and felt like a 5 year old- it was wonderful!)

    Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa….finally!!!!!!!! 2#’s down. Thank You lord for friends who encourage & have the sticktoitness……………in YOU. I have a neighbor lady who’s now coming in the morning & we’re biking & walking away in tha pool room. However….with this cool weather, we’re ready to take it outside for real bike rides & “”real”” walks. Had the kids up at our country place & I’m pretty sure we ALL walked, (including the 2 year old-okay mama carried her a lot), at least 143 acres!!!!!!!!!! Took us over 2 1/2 hrs. but oh what good fun we did have. mmmmmmmmmmmmkkkkkkkk Now just 8 more #’s to go.
