Wowzers!

Hello World.

Well I decided today that I would face the scale and see how I'm doing. Honestly, still not completely "on the wagon" BUT I have noticed that I'm not eating as much as I used too. Also combined with my illness...

I WAS DOWN 4.5 pounds.. I am shocked and excited. Great way to get "back on the wagon".

I am starting new and feel completely excited about the start. I was 226lbs. I believe that that means I've lost 9lbs since I've started this journey. I think my 4.5 lb weight loss is PURE LUCK though. However.. I'll take it!!!

My 2 older babies are now 5 & 7. It's hard to believe. They have taken off for their annual visit with Grandma. I was hoping that Preston would be able to go. But he's still pretty stuck to his Mommy's hip. I am totally okay with it!! I hope for my parents sake that Preston will soon be able to go for visits with them. I think Mikayla and Bennet are happy to get away from their baby brother too. They LOVE him, but he is pretty demanding of our time.

Anyways, I should go. Larry and I are going to the city today with Preston. It's a little easier to get out and go when the older kiddo's are away!

Thank you all for following me. I'm so proud of many of your journey's too.

God bless

I haven't forgotten :(

Hello to all my followers. Thank you for believing in me. I know that I can do this journey. I will be completely honest.. I have had a set back or shall I say fallen off the wagon. No excuses, just bad choices. I have been busy with camps and we've had many sickness in our homes. I've been almost too embarrassed to write, because I know that you are routing for me and I feel like I'm letting you down. BUT I know that this is not the truth, and that you guys are my cheer leaders and I TOTALLY am blessed to have you in my life.

Life at the Kozlof's has been interesting in the last month. We had our Full week of Kids Kamp last week. My hubby did a great job at leading it, he sure makes me proud. I got the chance to lead the kiddo's in Worship EVERY day, it was a blast. We had this one little guy who did "air guitar" the whole time we sang our songs. It was hard not to crack up laughing, but really cool to see. Our goal was to reach 40 kids and our first day we had 60 youngsters ready to learn about Jesus. It was a powerful week. WE can't wait to see what God has in store for us next year. At the end of today our 2nd week of camp is coming to an end. Pastor Paul is running a Sport's camp and Larry has been assisting and Mikayla attending. She's been enjoying herself completely. Today is "Baseball" day, that Larry is leading. I'm sure they'll be exhausted. We are really blessed that God has placed us here. It's very exciting.

We have had much sickness in our home. It started at the end of school and seems to creep it's way back into our home. Now it's my turn and I'm REALLY feeling ill and "down". I REALLY want to eat better and get moving, but the way I've been feeling the last few weeks, makes me want to STAY in bed. No moving = No loosing. I'm determined, but in all honesty I'm afraid that I'm going to fail. I try to be positive, however I can hear the negativity spinning in my ears. I know that THAT is not of God.. I know that ALL things are possible. I know that I am wonderfully made. SO THERE to negativity.

Summer has started and the heat is ON!! Our neighbour has kindly given us the keys to her pool. We are soooooo thankful for her. The kids LOVE swimming. Mikayla and Bennet's birthdays are next week-end and I'm totally not prepared at all. Hopefully I'll get my butt in gear. Being sick hasn't help the matter.

Anyways- I'm off for now. I really do hope to stay in touch a lot better then I have.
